Yes, it is.
They would easily be bringing in $20-$30M/year in sponsorship money, merch, and ad revenue.
So a 3-5 times revenue multiple is pretty standard stuff in valuing a business.
$100M is actually rather low.

Sounds a lot at first sight, but I read the other day that the top TikToker is running at $250M per annum.

Seems they do. It's not much, just like Youtube.

So it would be direct brand deals that bring in the real money.

In case anyone cares. Its been 6 weeks, this rage not looking pretty. It all started at LTX where some member of their Labs team made some clumsy statement about their testing methodology where they dont reuse data between multiple product reviews, unlike sites "like GamersNexus or Hardware Unboxed" (which statements are partially false). You could say both are not entertained, as both have now responded on their YT channels.

I think GN (the first video I posted) has made a pretty risky step from posting that video. But from the tone and length its clear they had enough.
LTT's response is classical: deflect, gaslight, minimize the issue and also not apologize. Quite disappointing. I like their goofy videos and was interested to see how they were expanding, but this seems like a huge PR disaster.
