Seems like a lot of the early LTT crew were chaffing a bit under the LTT contract for a variety of reasons and opted to leave and start their own channels. I hope most of them succeed because honestly I always liked the other hosts on LTT far more than Linus who usually came off as more comic relief than actual tech news. As the old technical crew left I’ve found myself watching Linus Drop Tips very rarely.

It would be the perfect time for a linux tips channel. So many people are switching over.

Linus doesn’t appear to be a terrible person, but I wouldn’t call him a good person either.
Linus is very open about his anti-union and anti-labor rights views, and I’ve lost count how many times he has dropped quick anti-union propaganda lines in his videos.
After it came out that he also ran a knowingly operated hostile work environment, I unsubscribed and never looked back.

He never said anything about being anti union. What he said was that if his workers felt the need to unionize then he had done something very wrong.

And the behind the scene stories about the workplace and his companies shows just how absurd that particular line from him is.
Whenever unions, or labor organizing get brought up, he never misses a chance to take some dig at them, including his lie how he’s such a great boss that his employees don’t want, or need, a union.
Just like how he’s such a great manufacturer that his backpacks didn’t need an actual warranty.

I don’t understand how you think these two sentences are consistent with each other.

Me too! Hence I recommend following Alex & Jake channels now :)!

I dont think anyone has said or hinted anything like that. Its more like a natural progression where they worked there and gained the skills and experience that allowed them to pursue their own channel. When they work for LTT they learn a lot about how to be on camera and run a channel then down the line they can put those to use and make their own channel.
Alex was one of the best hosts and will be missed. Im not really into cars so I won’t be watching his new channel. Hopefully he can find sponsors to enable him to afford to make cool projects.
