@rubiconnn Год назад

So many channels have been switching to those big desktop arm-mounted rode mics and they sound absolutely terrible. Like spending more money on a mic doesn't make the sound magically better, you should know how the mic works and what kind of mic will work best. Even in this video the voice sounds terrible when they are using the handheld mic. A cheap lav mic sounds better as it's hard to mess it up.

@robertt9342 Год назад

@@DonnyStanley . I disagree. Much like this is not some “tech startup” this isn’t some single RU-vidr making content. This is a production company. It’s not “Fast” at all. It’s reasonably if not cautiously paced, completely understandable in how they have parlayed their RU-vid success into other related ventures. I am guessing people have not been paying attention to when Linus actually talks about his companies growth. He has inferred that he could have grown faster by taking VC money. If you think 7-14 years is fast growth, long exactly would you think “fast” growth be in the content creation initially centred around RU-vid? Do you think this growth should have taken 30 years???? Also, somehow you think that recognizing the pace of growth not being “fast” is equates to a lack of success, where in fact it’s the exact opposite given how he chose to grow the company. It’s been slow and steady and I think it’s been the right move for long term stability.

@centran Год назад

@@mikehank2896 Canada has a probationary period for hiring which allows the employee or employer to "walk away". For example, an employee is not owed severance if they are let go within 3 months. I'm guessing it might be more complicated with appearing in videos so to ensure LTT owes an employee nothing they can't appear in videos??? I guess in the US it would be similar to doing contract to hire for 3-6 months to see if and employee works out of not. Or not giving employees benefits until 3 month period. It lowers the employer liability with paying severance, PTO, unemployment benefits if they have those things as policies. It can "get messy" state by state and the laws are a grey area. Canada specifically has a law for those situations. If someone appeared in a video it would probably be a grey area that LTT wants to avoid
