I worked Quality Assurance for a major fashion retailer for over a decade before moving to a different area of the business. I am actually impressed by everything shown in this video. It is all things that I dealt with on a daily basis and the fact that Linus is willing to invest in these things is impressive. The call outs regarding the fabric weight, content, color and fabric treatments are why these investments are so important. Vendors will straight lie to your face and try to sell you something that is not what was agreed upon as that is how they can increase their profit. Especially impressive was the comment made regarding leaving factories due to their condition. Human Rights violations are far more common than people think, and if LMG is taking the time to have factory audits completed to ensure they are not working with a partner with shady business practices is something to be very proud of.

The good thing here is that they already have ways of income, when you're just starting out and the product you're building is going to be the primary source of income there's more pressure involved of course. Still, I absolutely agree; the banter he shares with the engineers can come across as crass and fearmongering to an outsider, but it's clearly coming from a place of understanding and respect. Which is only made even more clear in all the videos (even the product teaser videos) where they're going into all the small gripes they're looking to fix - it's really something they want to nail the first time no matter how long it takes.

Your products are too expensive for me in the UK, but it's nice to see how much passion and attention is put to every single component of your products, shows you really care and that's worth the price (for those that can afford it easily anyway).

It’s insane how far Linus and LTT have come! From a teenage kid banging his desk while doing his first videos to almost a quality brand manufacturer… which I think he is slowly evolving into. He makes a lot of money but does he deserve it! You can’t have anything else than respect for accomplishing all this. It’s bonkers 🤪

Seems like they should stop calling it merch anymore, Linus is literally building a Brand and I'm all for it. Like Xiaomi for example, other than electronic gadgets like phones, laptop and power banks, they also sell things like electric toothbrush, soap dispenser, screwdrivers, air humidifier, vacuum, rice cooker, wall fan and literally every other thing u can think of. Seems like Linus is heading to similar direction. And that is sick tbh!

[@Oboreru493]

well no cause its still merch... anything that is bought and sold is merch

[@jacob7927]

Right? Generally I associate "merch" with "low quality garbage that lasts about 5 minutes, but it makes a neat knick nack." The attention to detail and VERY high quality control makes it seem more like a brand new brand producing quality products, not just some shitty merch from a popular personality.

[@ryleypalmer]

@@Oboreru493 well no... the way people use the word merch is more like how sports teams and events used merchandise to promote their thing. With big logos, it's a free form of advertisement for them. Even after the product has been bought. Problem is not many people will walk around with their favourite youtuber's logo on their chest aside from children. So moving away from traditional merch to products with reduced branding potentially increases the reach to consumers. If they can stock their actual products like the screwdriver (and it's actually good) in retail stores that would be huge for them too.

[@TH3C001]

And given his connection to Framework and their upgradeability and repairability on their laptops they could make the exterior pieces or panels for Framework laptops so you can customize it to have your very own LTT laptop if you wanted, similar to the products DBrand makes, the skins and plates for phones laptops and consoles.
