We are Linus Tech Tips, a YouTube channel that employs 20 people - ask us anything!

Colton, how are your working conditions? Do you ever get let out of the cage? How hard does linus beat you?

My working conditions are great actually. While I've been fired multiple times on camera as a sort of ongoing joke, I still remain a part of the company. There have not been any beatings at this time. :P

Are you planning on more scrapyard wars seasons?

We are! We're currently in the planning phases for the next season, which we're hoping to film within the next month or so.

Hey guys, is there any behind the scenes drama that's been kept off camera between employees or companies?

Yeah everyone hates Colton behind the scenes.

Kappa

Colton's like my best friend. Take that back or we're going outside.

I despise you all. :P

Is Linus as fun to work for as it seems?

Linus knows what he wants and will set a goal, then let us as employees figure out the best way to get to that goal. I respect that, it gives me room to figure things out, learn, and grow.

The guy is upbeat, energetic, and positive, and while we don't goof around nearly as much as you probably think, we still have fun.

Some of his jokes suck though. :P

What was the most expensive production fail? (cost a ton and got no views)

Probably NerdSports or our most recent Tech Showdown season.

We always want to keep trying new things, and we learn a LOT each time something doesn't go to plan, which helps when planning future projects.

what do you think is the most common mistake that people make when picking the parts for their first PC? what's the most embarrassing mistake you've made building a PC? can you tell I didn't plan this question out beforehand?

I know multiple people who didn't know there were different motherboard form factors and ordered the wrong size that didn't fit whatever case they got. I ALWAYS screw something up when connecting all of the pins, fan headers, power, etc on the motherboard...

Will you start taking ChannelSuperFun more seriously?

No. At least not for now. :P

We're focusing on a bunch of other projects right now, and if we were to put more focus towards Channel Super Fun we'd probably have to rethink our strategy. Dennis and I are working with the team here to put out content when we can, but we're not forcing anything.

We actually had a new CSF video come out on Floatplane where I stole other LMG employee things and constructed my own office. It's wonderful.

What's for lunch?

McDonald's, Pho, or Mucho Burrito. Jon, Nick, and I can never decide.

Have you ever/would you ever accept and advertise a product that in your opinion wasn't very good? Also, how can I get a job at Linus Media Group?

We would never knowingly advertise a product that we know isn't good. There have been incidents where we've worked with a brand to promote a good service or product, and we receive complaints from the audience, or things changed over time to affect their product or service in a negative way. When that happens, Nick or I will talk to that partner to figure out a resolution, and if we can't find one, we part ways.

For job vacancies, keep an eye out for videos announcing them and postings at http://www.linusmediagroup.com/jobs/. We're pretty specific in what we look for, so read the posting very well and follow the directions if you think you meet the criteria.

How much agency does /u/Caltane get with CSF vids? It seems that in every single one Linus has his head in his hands asking "Did you really spend company time on this?!"

A lot, unless Linus has a specific idea for CSF or I have an idea that needs some work.

Favorite feature of the new office?

We have a shower now which is cool, although I've never actually used it.

Will you ever stop using "sexy" and "dank"?

(please stop)

Depends on the context but probably not.
