Because there's could be actually some psychology reason behind it, they want their viewers to feel homey when watching the videos.

The fact he respects their work and input enough to make a comment like that, even if it is joking, shows that he doesn't have a huge ego just because he owns the company. I'm sure alot of his employees are happy, even with the stress of making 7 high quality videos a day like they have been between all the channels. Their setups are insane and very well thought out. All the quality of life changes that they have made to everything is a sign of Linus wanting to make that place the most effecient and comfortable enviroment for this people to pump out all that content as fast as they do. Alot of employers should follow this model. I know its a smaller company, but for some companies to pretend they don't have th resources to get their employees necessary equipment for their jobs is pretty sad.

What I really wanna know is how he decides on great candidates to hire. Bad hiring practices can easily mess up a company big time.

[@jjpark98]

@@arnox4554 Considering he has "potential" new employees on probation for a certain period of time to see how they fair working at LTT, I'd say their employee picking process should be fine if they're doing probationary employees at all.

[@n_core]

@@arnox4554 I think their method is just similar to other companies in Canada but more strict with probation stuff since they are a media company which known well globally. They must follow the rules that stated by the government and they also do not give any candidates special treatments. Even Madison also followed the standard hiring rules regardless so many LTT fans begging her to be hired. But she didn't have any probation stuff since her job is pretty connected to public which is Social Media Coordinator. But there's one exception for Riley which is Linus' friend and because Linus knows him so well on NCIX (he is literally Linus' apprentice when he was on NCIX), so he immediately became employee for Linus.

[@grim86]

Linus is one of the few business people that at least from what he's said, he cares about his employees.

Been watching since 2012 or 2013. I don't know where all the time has gone. I am amazed with how far you guys have come. I have to say seeing this many employees makes me nostalgic for when it was just a few of you. Not because I think the content was better at that time, but just because it reminds me of the times as a teenager where I could come home, watch ltt, and not have to worry anything. I do have to say the Linus you changed my life. I'm now going into a career in computer engineering almost solely inspired by you. So well I am nostalgic for those times as a teenager, I'd like to think that as your channel grew you brought me and a lot of your other subscribers with you and we now get to work in the tech industry, which I know for me seemed like a pipe dream when I was a teenager.
