Last year back in June my dishwasher finally gave up the ghost after nearly 2 decades of service(Kenmore), so I took advantage of the b-day(born in July) discount Best Buy gave me, and the sale rep said don't buy Samsung as they had a lot of trouble out of them, he said get Whirlpool, and between covid backorders, Best Buy stupidness, & my credit union freezing my credit card thinking it was fraud, it took till the first week in Oct. before I got it in, and installed, then shortly after in Nov. right before Thanksgiving my decade old Frigidaire side by side refrigerator/freezer died, Best buy was out of stock of most everything we wanted, and I did not want to deal with them again, so went to Lowe's they also said don't buy Samsung(LG as well for that matter) we have had a lot of issues with them. They said go Whirlpool, so again we did with a normal top bottom style in black, and so far it's been fantastic, and it's also great knowing they were both American made at a fair price. So my point is Samsung might be one of the biggest, but it does not mean they are the best when honest people who sale them, service, and make a living off them tell you not to buy them.

[@LatitudeSky]

Samsung's leap to the top came about because one of their prime missions in the 70s was to destroy Sony, as both their arch rival and former wartime enemy. They made it their goal to compete against Sony in every possible way and also put pressure against Matsushita and Sanyo, and it worked beautifully. Sony went from being top of electronics to not even making many kinds of electronics at all any more. Samsung used a similar approach with cell phones. They made a lot of bad phones. One day, an executive of the company demanded they dump all their awful phones in a parking lot and had them all crushed while the employees watched. Then he gave them orders to go back to the drawing boards and invent a phone that could beat Apple. Eventually they came up with the Galaxy S3, a stupendous success that took the fight right to Apple and sold like crazy. It was such a good phone, it's still usable today. That phone changed everything and showed everybody Samsung wasn't afraid to start over, and woe to you if your industry was their next target. And yeah, I'm watching and typing this comment on a Samsung Galaxy S20. It's freaking awesome.

I remember doing a paper on Samsung 20 years ago in college. Before they were the phone giant they are today. A very interesting company and another great video!

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

What haven't they gotten into would be a shorter list. It's weird watching a video about Samsung on my Samsung phone.

[@iddan1205]

Sounds like one of those anime super companies that has its own air force PM unites, with tech built and supplied by the company.

[@j.t.erasmus7486]

Thanks for this awesome video - I did not know how big Samsung is: Skyscrapers: even as an architect I did not know that. You number 1 fan from South Africa

[@aboringuy]

As a theme park nerd myself, I had actually heard about Samsung operating an amusement park, but I didn't know they operated Everland, as pictured in 9:38. I like how you actually went through the effort of finding the park they operate and putting a picture of that park there. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Either way it's just fascinating.

[@justarandomspencer9174]

Hey, so I know you try to keep your videos around 10 minutes with a few exceptions, but for companies as big as this, I don't think we'd mind having a say, 20 or 30 minute video split into two parts that goes into much more detail. I get that it's just supposed to be a brief overview, but sometimes a longer one is needed for especially larger companies like Samsung. Either way, I still really enjoy your content, so thank you!

[@jhartford58]

Big thing that was left out was "Batteries" in the list of things they manufacture. A lot of cordless tools run off their 18650 cells

[@austinkletch2707]

Yes, Samsung is awesome. I have a Samsung washer, dryer, 65'in curved TV, ear buds, watch, and l currently using the galaxy s21 plus. I love their company, products, and customer support.

[@rickystriglio]

Finally! I've been waiting for you to do Samsung since I first discovered your channel years ago 😂. Cold fusion tv does a pretty good summary of them too.

[@bug5654]

"I'm not aware of any other country where their economy is so reliant on one company." *Saudi Aramco has joined the chat*

[@damirahman]

number one thing ive learned from this channel is that every company started as a dry goods / grocery store

[@Jayvees690]

Great research about Samsung Company Man.

[@NoCaping]

I would of never knew Samsung has it's hands in so many industries. Excellent video as usual Compnay Man!

[@ryansharpe3564]

When I started to work for Samsung, I only knew them for the phones too lol

[@worry2much]

Oddly enough there's road construction going on in my neighborhood and the heavy equipment they're using is made by Samsung.

[@cameronniemeyer5813]

Great video man

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

I knew about all of this because I read..alot.. but I still love the video man thanx

[@yeet5146]

Holy shit you actually did it finally 😂😂

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Watching this on my S21 Ultra..👌

[@braders5192]

Same lol

[@Hugo_Villarreal]

5:42 this is quality consistent content right here 👍

[@tuxace4231]

I knew they were big but I didn't know they made cranes! Nice video

[@xShadowNinja11x]

Do Mitsubishi next! They make a lot more than just cars...

[@raddyaddy1592]

I usually don’t like learning but I like his channel. Can someone explain??

[@bakteeryuh]

The guy presents learning in a way you must like. I know places like schools get most people to think they hate learning, when in reality it’s how learning is presented. Wait I just sounded semi-intelligent lol

[@AnorLondo2]

Sorry to crash your dreams, but it mostly have to do with the fact that you don't have to put any effort. His delivery is awesome, so you just passively eat it.

[@JuiceBoxScott]

@@AnorLondo2 I've been in plenty of learning scenarios where all I had to do was passively listen and they are usually miserable. Someone just talking at you instead of you being involved sucks, unless it's presented well.

[@JuiceBoxScott]

I think his voice really helps. It's soothing.

[@julianhayda]

You've gotta do a "Bigger Than You Know" for the Ball Corporation. They're known for making those iconic Mason Jars for home canning/pickling/arts & crafts, but they also have a defense and outer space division, work in healthcare, and paints.

[@athulkrishnan3464]

Company man one of the best channel 🥰

[@nick5422]

Their new waifu will have sales like 📈📈📈

[@calijay9805]

Didn’t realize how big Samsung is. I don’t own any of there products currently. But being that I now know how important they are to South Korea’s bottom line. I just may start consuming some of there products. They do make really good stuff.

[@Junispro31]

Well they most certainly have earned money from you. Purchase any snacks? Some silica bags are manufactured by Samsung. Buy stuff online? Most likely was shipped by a ship built by Samsung. Has a device with a Oled/Amoled screen? Most definitely a Samsung display. Their that huge.

[@HowardVangorder]

This was a great video as always but I would love to see you do a video on Corning Inc someday

[@CalvinNoire]

Actually been expecting this

[@idellhpcompaq]

Hyundai makes pianos and TV’s aside from cars, just found out today! Hyundai - Bigger than you know please

[@SC-gn6bc]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but there’s one company that makes up a very significant portion of its country’s gdp: TSMC in Taiwan

[@timw8250]

Foxconn is the larger one, but most of its operations are based on the mainland even though the company is headquartered in Taipei.

[@LouisSubearth]

Samsung also makes cars, well, did. They sold their car division to Renault either in the late 90s or early 2000s and mostly made Nissans under license, now they make Renaults with a Samsung badge, and briefly made a run of the Rogue Sport for North America, being the third vehicle made in Korea for a non-korean brand to be sold in North America.

[@khushbrar7213]

Am I the only one who jams out during the intro jingle? Killin it.

[@bootortle]

I'm still trying to figure it out; what did Sam sing?

[@JohnAudioTech]

Sam sung a song

[@dedmemes.]

Ay my friend was named sam (he moved away) and i always asked him what he sang

[@kasenpalmer1964]

Hilcona from Lichtenstein makes up about 8% of Lichtenstein’s economy. Lichtenstein gdp is $6.877 billion and Hilcona made $835 million.

[@devinchandler1699]

I feel like Saudi Aramco is in this league too

[@screwcollege8474]

@@devinchandler1699 yes it’s about 30 percent of gdp

[@ohla300]

This blew my mind. Love the information in your videos. So is Samsung a Monopoly!? 🤔✌💜

[@SkiVail]

This was great! But wish it was longer!

[@killingtime4444]

Was this planned??? Either way, perfect timing

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Doubtful, he would have been working on this video weeks ago.

[@BloodRider1914]

Other chaebols like LG and Hyundai would be interesting videos as well

[@Vincevon95]

“Knock-knock.” “Who’s there?” “Samsung.” “Samsung who?” “Samsung a song.”

[@Shannon_Vlogs]

Definitely bigger than I knew! Thanks!
