It's gotten a bit more media attention recently as Linus (of Tech Tips/YouTube fame, not Linux/Git fame) has made a rather large investment in them and has been talking about them a lot on his platforms.

It said his investment is $200K-ish. His YouTube stuff seems insanely popular, so he invested a couple weeks of profit at most?


I have no idea of his financials but that does sound like more than a few weeks of profit. Remember he has a lot of staff to pay, the huge office/studio space and bills for that and running stuff like the LTT Store which will have expenses also. And then supporting his family on top of that.


I imagine the LTT Store is a net positive with fantastic margins.
