Alex finally created his own channel together with Andy.
Besides his new tech Zip Tie Tech channel (please subscribe?): https://www.youtube.com/@zip_tie_tech
Alex & Andy are also into the car channel call Zip Tie Tech: https://www.youtube.com/@ZipTieTuning
Show him that we want more tech vids subscribe to their tech channel! I believe Alex and Andy are an awesome combo and people. I wish them the best..
Oh, that was real? I saw the title on a video in my feed and assumed it was some kind of clickbait.
yes its real..? Both Andy + Alex are now fired from Linus Tech Tips.. You don't need to believe me, but it's true. They have now their own channel.
Also Jake has its own channel now and also no longer works for Linus anymore..
Any place I can read the drama?
Kinda was. Listening to him it sounded like they did him an intentional favor.
Ow.. also Jake seems to started his own channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/@jakkuh_t
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.
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.
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.

Oh yea I remembered that. Your comment made my subconcious American-centrism brain worried for a second, then I remember she’s Canadian, whew, could’ve been a disaster down there cross the border given the ahem political climate
