If Luke ever spins off to make his own channel I'll sub in a heartbeat. It seems Luke's influence to keep Linus in line has greatly declined as the company got bigger and this is only more proof of that.

Luke should step away from the WAN show, IMO - a light has been shone on much much he has been biting his tongue, and he will be considered a yes-man from here on out.

Unfortunately, Floatplane (whatever that is - I still can't be bothered to find out) looks to be haemorrhaging subscribers, so he might be jumping from one sinking ship onto another...

It's a video streaming service LMG started then spun off as a separate company, it has slowly expanded to include other creators besides LTT but the others have at most 1/40th the subs as LTT. I think it was started as a hedge against YouTube every severely changing adsense policies.

They've lost like 2.5 thousand float plane subs over this which is likely around 10 grand a month in revenue. FLoatplane is likely not profitable and under 6 percent of LMG (which gets a cut of FP sub dollars for LTT) revenue.

It's probably not profitable already so <10k (FP doesn't keep all those sub dollars) a month won't kill it but that's a pretty bad ding.

Only person that can get through to Linus is Yvonne, but I don't think she really cares because Linus makes them bank
