Edit: Adventures with Purpose. The lying pedo was a major scumbag. Met him once. Knew something was off.
Linus tech tips, after letting his son go through and pick parts to build a computer on top of everything else I just couldn’t stand it.
SV Seeker nuked everything so it’s not like I would watch it i could but I found the channel because of the build stuff.
Mike Patey, the man had money… yes he works hard. Some people can run on that little sleep. Then he pulled a derp and wrecked the plane on takeoff. Next I start seeing the new mansion build.
Abom79, again I loved the build videos. When my shoulder was healing and I had to sleep sitting up (which sucks so bad they had to give me ambien to sleep just 3 hours) I would watch his videos and get some naps in no clue why but watching the machining was so fascinating but it would make me nod off like a drunk redneck watching NASCAR. Pretty soon it’s let’s talk about my new tool that some company gave me. And vacation travel.
There was one where a guy in Asia built a house and cleared the land diverted a stream for water and Tools. Had the fish pond etc. No talking just doing things. Then his sister started a channel and things just flopped.
There have been a few others who changed their identity when they got popular. ___
Linus tech tips, after letting his son go through and pick parts to build a computer on top of everything else I just couldn’t stand it.
What happened here? I see some things about people being upset about how little he pays his kids for appearing in videos but I’m not sure that’s what you’re referring to?
He started putting his kids in a few eps. They’re in that tween age where they’re awkward and he clearly didn’t really want to be ont he show, and well it was mutual it wasn’t even slightly entertaining. He went down this path of:
I’m going to give my kid this thing if they can X,
I’m going to get my wife to switch to blah.
I’m going to put this person against that lawn mower cutting my grawss,
and this person against that pool cleaner to clean my pool.
It’s like he’s just drowning in the need to get free gear from vendors for him and his family.
I think he just wants to get his kids’ feet wet for the family business but is completely in capable of doing it without making it boring and awkward.
I mostly listen to just LTTs podcast WAN show and on there Linus has said several times over the years that he doesn’t like having his kids in videos, he finds it grimy and takes a real issue with family YouTube channels since the kids don’t have a say.
His family only appears in videos when they ask to be in a video, and even then he makes the kids do the pitch so they have a real vested interest in wanting to be in the video.
That’s why his one son has been in several videos, one daughter has been in a couple, and the third I think was just in one video years ago. The videos can be a bit clunky because while the adults in the room try to make a video engaging and interesting there’s only so much they can do. Linus has also stated that he’d sooner let LMG as a company fold than just hand the reigns to his kids.
The clunky pool and yard video iirc was a case of the business development team signing a brand deal and the video production team not knowing what else to do
Easy cheap labor for sure. If he didn’t have quality and personnel issues that everyone else has been covering expertly here, i might be swayed that choosing beggars would be the extent of it.
SV Seeker was insane, I was watching that under rated dumpster fire for years. I’m still amazed anyone actually let him launch the boat. Barely floated!

sounds like the ultimate “choosing beggars”

There was a lot of things wrong with his tips. I don’t remember everything as it’s been too long.
SV Seeker was insane, I was watching that under rated dumpster fire for years. I’m still amazed anyone actually let him launch the boat. Barely floated!
Yeah there were a lot of weight and balance issues and bad decisions.
The City of Tulsa was actually threatening a lawsuit because there were no permits for building it.
But taking and nuking the channel and information was a major dick move.
