Linus Sebastion Turned Down $100M Offer

You're at the mercy of an algorithm with no idea how it works.
If they stopped uploading anything for a few months it could set their YT income/reach back years, or not at all.
 
PlainName:
So no-one knows how it works but nevertheless can say that it would stuff them unless they keep on doing.. something.

OTOH, a huge spike might get them on the virtual front page and lead to more views leading to algorithm love. No-one knows, yet they can say that's a bad move.  :-//

[Edit: How does the algorithm work for subscriptions? I mean, if you subscribe the algorithm isn't going to unsubscribe you, is it? So after however long the LTT channel should still have roughly the same subscribers as now and it's non-subscribers who may be affected. So the channel won't suddenly die but will get subscriber views as soon as it starts output again. Plus the new viewer who just want to see wtf it's all about and how they're still screwed up. And I suspect the algorithm isn't immune to some boss saying "that's a channel it would be worth promoting" (or even demoting if it's mouthed off about Youtube).]

Update.
An MXO4 scope spotted at 6:02

I still don't think this video was needed. It's trying to appease everyone and it can never do that. Haters will still hate, fans will still watch.
As he said toward the end with regards to empoyee turnover, it's vanishing small (1.9% medium, excluding fired people).
Having to justify their company work culture by having to show security footage of the parking lot just seems desperate. I feel sorry that they felt pressured so much that they had to do that, you can see it in Linus's eyes.

Yeah, seen it. At least it wasn't as bad as the two previous ones IMHO, so they're certainly "learning" to handle this better as far as communication goes.

I don't think being exposed to such a wide audience worldwide is a sane thing overall, but that's the crux of these businesses, so that's an integral part of them. You can get very successful but can also be shot down in a matter of a few hours. You get more exposure (and most of all, scrutiny) than even the most famous stars would just a couple decades ago.

Not something I would personally enjoy. But if you base your professional life on it, I guess you better get seriously used to it.

But hey haven't learned the real lesson, futility.
