With 8.3 million subscribers he can afford that kind of shit
Colton Phillips
Ssshhh Nobody tell him that much L2ARC is essentially useless...
Bentley White
8 grand is nothing for him, he makes that in less than a day through YouTube ads alone. His company is worth around 15 to 20 million dollars and he gets most shit for free from manufacturers anyway.
If this virgin hit the big time, all of Jow Forums can too.
disagree subsribers don't mean shit views are what count logan and jake paul had 2x as many subs as him but like 50x the views. they earned 7mil in 6months but mostly thru selling tshirts.
most of linus money would come from sponsored content imo. he basically is a whore
Kayden Flores
>720p is enough stupid phoneposter
Nathaniel Jones
a company earning 15mil dollars over 10years isn't impressive small accounting firms of 30people do that.
Ian Jenkins
you can't prove that
Andrew Miller
lol
Jacob King
Most of his video have ~1 mil views
Samuel Bell
I think Linus's company does other stuff aside from the youtube things.
Thing is, Linus is one of the few Youtubers who fucks around with this sort of stuff. Most other tech channels focus on whatever flagship product Apple or Samsung are putting out that month and Linus decides to do a video on a high end network switch, or weird GPU that outputs over a network cable, or building a server.
Theres the poorfag channels who do "how to build a server out of a commodore 64 i found in a dumpster" but thats a whole other spectrum.
Nicholas Ward
why are they shooting 8k if people just watch it on their phones anyway?
Come back when you have made 15 million for writing a kernel and playing video games.
Connor Rodriguez
Reminder that "4k" and "8k" are just marketing terms and do not actually meet said number in either horizontal or vertical rows It's 2160p and 4320p respectively and using the marketing bullshit shows how little you truly care about the state of the industry.
Also YouTube supposedly supports more than 4320p and I'm more or less wondering what they don't support
Ian Bell
He is also a total money hog because he is one of the few popular youtubers that fully whores himself with product placements all over the place.
In general, stop promoting this shit telemarketer. Sage in all fields.
William Martin
DCI you shitnigger
Gavin Clark
Irrelevant due to specialized usage and even then why the fuck does it matter when it's describing the horizontal rows instead of vertical like every other goddamn short hand resolution? 144p 240p 360p 480p 576p 720p 1080p 2160p 4320p
Notice how it's literally fucking irrelevant because it's almost never referred to by it's width? Even if you're correct it's only by 96 fucking pixels because the cinemas want to feel special
Anthony Wood
dat hair thinning, wonder how much longer till hes bald
Easton Kelly
aren't you grateful when you find some classic masterpiece in youtube that doesn't look like shit, that's called future proofing
Ayden Howard
Even if it was 100% wasted money why would it matter. He clearly enjoys doing this stuff for the sake of it
Caleb Miller
>loosing What is he making loose?
Tyler Scott
> what's wrong you apparently didn't watch the entire video fuck off and die, linus shill.
>high res tech videos Ironically he said 4k gaming is pointless.
Robert Hill
Its for entertainment value you cucks. The whole point of his channel is benchmarking ridiculous hardware and doing builds at different price points with sponsered hardware.
People will just click on the vid when they're bored see the extemely high numbers. Shrug. Be mildly impressed and mind numbingly click another video until they have to get back to their responsibilities.
Whats with the hate for this guy. All he does is make videos for people sort of into tech. The dude earns millions for playing eith PC parts. Hating and complaining about him all day on a dead image board is beyond pathetic.
Nathaniel Harris
Linus' demographic aren't high tech enthusiasts anymore, its little kids with a short attention span.
2160p and 4320p mean nothing unless its uncompressed even a bluray is compressed and youtube even more so.
the fact he brought a red camera for youtube is stupid even if it appears 4k he is essentially removing 95% of what the camera actually captures he would have been wiser to campain youtube to let him have a HIFI version of 720p and 1080p that was toggled for his channel and perhaps sports or gaming content. its probably why they made floatplane to be honest as they released their investment in red was not paying off and a 300$ 4k camera would capture just as much.
Nathaniel Martin
he is probably just investing in 4k/8k and server hardware for tax reasons. once his channel dies in 1/2years he will sell all the harddrives and cameras for profit.
probably a scam. he has small children and is loosing his twink looks he obviously wants to spend at least their teenage and 20s years together.
Michael Hernandez
He got CoCked
Aiden Thomas
dennis' ass
Lucas Morales
>8k for watching a cringy faggot This would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact so many newfags on this board unironically like him
He is just a guy who does advertisement, everything he does involves specific hardware and its just done so people be like "Woah look at this $stuff done with $hardware from $producer", thats totally it
Zachary Ramirez
>wtf is wrong with this guy He's got craploads of money and too much spare time. It got to lead to autism eventually
Charles Powell
>is he loosing it? yeah I guess he's pretty loose at this point, yeah
Jack Howard
Have you seen any videos from like 2011 recently? They all look fucking awful compared to the videos on Youtube now. This shit is why.
Alexander Moore
why are there metal rings in his ear lobes?
Samuel Russell
time is the fire in which we burn.
Nathan Parker
because he never left puberty
Jonathan Jones
these filthy tax tricks need to be outlawed.
Lincoln Allen
t. commie taxation is theft
Angel Sullivan
taxes are fees. everyone outside of Jow Forums understands that.
Camden Campbell
Most everyone in the video was his editing team, who generally have no reason to be on camera. He needs a lot of editors because he pumps out one video a day every day to keep toddlers engaged. That said, at least half of the editing team have been on camera doing reviews for the main channel and short videos for the Tech Quickies ones. There's also a side-channel where they do silly shenanigans that the entire company takes part in but it's awful. They all stopped being on camera for the main channels once Linus hired Riley, another presenter from NCIX.
Eli Cook
Riley Reid? I thought Linux was gay?
Michael Rogers
everyone outside of Jow Forums is a filthy commie who wants to live on welfare forever
Thomas Evans
Remember when his raid had a completely normal failure so he ripped out all the drives and totally destroyed his data for no reason, and with NO BACKUP?
This isn't an intelligent man you are talking about.
Robert Lee
if you dont pay your taxes you live on welfare.
Luke Anderson
He doesn't do it for the money. He genuinely loves technology, particularly display tech. But technology is expensive, thus he makes daily videos.
Samuel Gomez
Show me any other channel that is showing the practical challenges of shooting in 8k
Juan Morris
>wtf is wrong with this guy Wtf is wrong with him is that he is paying you to kick up some bullshit controversy about him to keep (((him))) in (((shekels))) so fuck off out the door, Jew ! and stick your advertising up your fat neckbeard arse while youre doing it !
Angel Kelly
i highly doubt that they need that much io perf but then again that channel isnt known for making reasonable things >7 gamers vs 1 cpu unless you have so much high end gear that it becomes a reasonable build for you to build because why not
Evan Gray
Thanks for reminding me to watch Linus Tech Tips as well as buying one of their shirts that Linus is hopefully wearing on his latest video
Angel Foster
what does 8k videos have to do with kernel development?
Logan Wright
>7 gamers vs 1 cpu I will never understand why he doesn't use the proper hardware for any of this shit. There's specialized systems for streaming shit like CAD workstations to multiple computers from a single rack server, there's even specialized video cards. Why not use one of those? It's like he goes out of his way to fuck things up just to have more videos on shit not working. Motherfucker, you have the money! You could've paid a guy to come with the hardware and have it installed and you trained to use it in a day!
Hudson Powell
>I'm a neet, wah, why do other people have money and things i don't have KYS
Cameron Foster
>when is he going to realise that no one gives a shit about high res tech videos Speak for yourself faggot. I can't stand when you don't get 4k in the current year on popular Youtube channels. Did you know Pewdiepie still uploads in 720p in 2019?
Thomas Watson
that fat downsyndrom guy seems to be the only competent person at that company to be honest
Hudson Morales
Why would he bother with anything higher than 720p when most of his active viewer base is watching his videos on shittyl phone screens? It'd be a wasted effort.
Nah, consider every other youtube channel when they review [product] they always have to have "how well does it run fortnight", thats the kids audience.
Luis Allen
i remember reading an ex-linus employee (someone off camera and only lasted a few months) on leddit claiming that most of linus' tech are sponsored or heavily discounted due to his youtube fame
they get sent a ton of free shit that they pay for it to be sent back and working hours for video editors are literal sweatshop-tier
he also got attacked by linus fanboys when he mentioned that linus' persona during build, parody or meme videos aren't real and some of the shit his employees say towards him on camera would get them in hot shit off-camera or in a normal day
then after being shat on by fanboys he said that the only real niggas left is the main cameraman, luke and the chinese guy who gets made fun of once in a while
Aaron Cook
>pleb spacing
Carter Wood
He doesn't pay for his hardware so why wouldn't he?
Jackson Miller
Anthony really deserves better than having to fix Linus shit.
