Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Is Linus losing interest?”.
Got another one here from Jake hi Linus: do you seem to enjoy making some videos a lot more than others like the recent chat, GPT PC build? Do you ever wish? You could do more passion, project videos and do you uh? Would you need a smaller Channel? Slash team to be able to do so. Merry Christmas, all um, I mean you’re already seeing that you’re already seeing that process playing out right, like that’s, where the smaller channels, like short circuit, are coming from short circuits, a way for us to cover products that just wouldn’t get enough eyeballs on them to justify Uploading to LTT, because it would just harm the channel and you’re going to see a lot more of it um. I think you can expect to see more Niche channels, as the lab team builds out their testing capabilities and we have all this data and we need to publish it somehow right. Yeah in text is great, but it doesn’t make any money. So obviously, we’re going to continue to do what we do best, which is create video content, so yeah you’re gon na see that a lot going forward now, with all of that said, I think you might be getting a. I might I think sometimes people can get the wrong Vibe uh, just because I take on. For example, a more serious tone in a video doesn’t mean I’m having less fun in the creation process or that I don’t think it’s more important or that I don’t think it’s as important.
Sometimes I think it’s more important, but you also can’t have the same amount of fun in everything you do so like if we were to go through the last few videos yeah this doing everything the chatbot says was a blast, because I’m super super into this technology And a lot of the time you know when we come up with a video concept, the whole reason uh that we’re doing it is because it’s something I want to talk about, and then we just need kind of a vehicle for that. So building a computer was just an excuse to talk about chat GPT in a Mainline video uh. This one I had a blast with, I mean Jeff and I have never really gotten a chance to hang out outside of you know a few uh small encounters at like you know, work events and stuff like that um, and so I always enjoy until extreme Tech Upgrade – and I think that comes through in the videos – people love Intel, extreme Tech upgrade um. This one was really stressful. It was a really fun idea like doing tech support, but some of the tools we ran into some challenges, or rather the lines got flooded and handling a flooded support line, is like never fun. So I think that did take a bit of the fun out of it.
There were elements of it that were super fun like Dr Ian cutris, calling into the show bloody guy rolling you it’s like a crazy question. Hey I got it, though I’m feeling good about that it was pretty good. Um sponsored stuff is always challenging right, like I said everything that I wanted to say, but that back and forth I’m so glad that I have a sales team. That kind of deals with all that for me now where the brand will come and say: oh, we don’t like the way you worded it and I’ll say too bad, and then our sales team gets to kind of play. Uh play messenger in between, but this is a super cool monitor. I had fun with that. Uh, the fake merch, always a lot of fun for me, working with the hacksmith team, total blast like there’s nothing in here this monitor. I was not that interested in and then I actually used it and all of a sudden I was like whoa.
This is super cool love new. I mean we don’t really. We don’t really make a lot of videos about stuff that I’m not interested in, because I had I hand select pretty much every topic, not all, but very many is there anything okay. I did not hand select for us to forget about Luke’s portion of the part.
One of the art challenge this I hand selected this, I hand selected uh. This I didn’t hand select. This was pitched to me: uh Tanner, uh, pitched this adding USBC to Old consoles.
That was cool, but when he pitched it initially, I was like uh-huh and and then when he explained it, I was like whoa, that’s so cool and so yeah I’m super into it. You know what I think, what you might see in a video like this is that I didn’t get to play around with it firsthand as much. If I’d gotten to really play with it.
I think you might have seen a bit more more animation on my side. Um, sometimes it’s the end of the day and I’m kind of tired, like I’m doing my best, but no matter how enthusiastic I am about something I still do have to present. My job is not just as simple as being someone who’s into this stuff and talking about it, and I I wish it was because it’d be a lot easier to hire people to help me with it.
But Luke Luke knows I mean it’s, not something. People can just pick up overnight. Try it go, make a video.
It’S really hard, try to get views on YouTube yeah. It is a real job and I’m I’m glad that you almost never see that anymore. You know oh well, if you want to make money, get a real job instead of being a YouTuber, it is a real job. It’S not easy! Yeah .
