So you buy premium - now you don't have ads from YouTube anymore. But now YouTubers such as LinusTechTips and who else not want monthly payments for their exclusive content. Yea, that's not going to work. Now your watchers don't watch your content.

Floatplane is doing well according to the WAN show.

That's a self correcting situation. If LTT sees a huge drop in their views/subscribers, they'll correct the situation.

.. or a competitor (who's a competitor to LTT? GamerNexus? MKBHD?) would take their place.

Admittedly don't watch LTT because basically the content is the advertisement. Maybe it's changed.

It’s crazy to ram as they did a revenue breakdown recently and the sponser segments was way tinier than I expected - like 10% or in that range. I was annoyed just knowing they shit on their videos just for that tiny profit boost.

Oh just get the screwdriver already, will you?! :)

LTT does have some interesting videos, but yeah, most of their output is full of ads.

Please don't associate actual journalists GamersNexus with those hucksters.
