Well yeah, LTT has long gone fully corporate. This was a problem years ago already, it was just always weird seeing so many flock to their channel when it was clearly a rote production like a 15 years ongoing weekly crime drama, not an actual tech channel.

Their production value is often stellar, don't get me wrong. But that's it. That's all they have. It's all about optimizing the production to maximize ad revenue.

Imo, any large company, even if started hardcore by linus and luke (and co), will always in the end be mostly created by all the employees.

The ownership of any large company should imo always be gradually moved over to the people who work there.

Worker coops are not a silver bullet and will always be corruptible in any way any other democracy can, but at least it has the possibility to be proper, in contrast to strict founder / investor ownership where you are at their mercy.

LMG becoming an ESOP would be an interesting development if implemented properly.
