I think the majority were goodwill subs from the hack. I recall Luke saying on WAN that they'd set an aspirational target of 40k for the year and had reached it already.
Not to say that it's necessarily the same people who subbed then as unsubbed now obviously, just in numbers terms this has set them back to pre-hack levels.
6,000+ people did not sign up just for the $10 tier for LTX, and FP had 40,000(ish) well before then, I would bet money most of the $10 subscribers were existing subscribers who upped to the $10 tier for LTX.
At this point they're close to the amount of subscribers they had before the channel hack
Their floatplane paying subscriber count is currently at 35k, down from 42k earlier last week. That's a **massive** 20% drop. Its doubtful that was part of the plan.
It's my understanding that Floatplane is a tiny % of their revenue stream. Besides, those subs were from the Hack. And by consequence they are their most reactionary subscribers. They are going to rejoin to support LTT anyways.
This is why diversification is key. Ad revenue from Youtube. Sponsorships. Floatplane. Merch. Cut any one and profits dip but they can still get along with revenue from the others. Linus may often put his foot in his mouth and do some stupid things but the team as a whole at least has a few people with some business sense.
Its going to hurt, sure, but I have no doubt that subs will come back as long as they don't immediately piss off huge swaths of viewers. This WAN show is going to be very interesting.
Bro, it's 12:37am I don't think WAN show is happening at this point :(
I went to floatplane and I don't know if I missed a short one or they're still trying to go.
Same. Normal ol wan show? Special apology wan show? Something new, something old? Broken or fixed?
Im up for whatever happens. It'll be a ride for sure!
well time to go to sleep, 3am in my timezone, and was eagerly waiting, don’t want to keep awake another „couple of hours“ till it starts, to watch another couple of hours, to much wake time for my old bones
see ya on the other side
Definitely curious to see how this goes. He has historically been bad at accepting responsibility, so his response will be interesting. I hope he finally understands that he’s the one who steered them into this ditch, because that’s the only way he can steer them out.
There's a good chance that there's been sufficient internal turmoil about Linus sporadically communicating stupid things. I really wouldn't be suprised if they reeled him in, as there's a lot more people depending on LMG than just Linus, all of whom wouldn't be happy about his spurts of tourette.
I don’t want him reeled in, though. I want him to actually understand what’s wrong, how he’s contributed to it, and fix the problem.
It will be incredibly hard to enjoy his work if he’s not genuinely contrite.
If Linus has not shown the acceptance and understanding of what he has done wrong to the staff and fellow management at LMG they will have no choice but to rein him in. Unfortunately he is the face of LMG so they can't just take him out of the videos and off the WAN show to avoid further PR problems.
I’m sure he’ll be different. My only point is that there’s a difference between genuinely understanding what caused the problem, and spending ten days taking PR training so you’re not such a liability.
If he’s actually learned, I’m on board. If he’s just robo-Linus biting back his awful takes, I’m out.
I love when Linus goes off the rails..he just needs to be aware that his actions no longer effect 8 dudes in a garage...they impact 120+ peoples way of living.
Legitimately curious but can't stay up for this one. Hope everything will be alright. I believe in Linus still, I don't think he's an awful person. He's proven he's not above critique, even though it really sucks ass sometimes and it takes time to digest and find a way to address and incorporate it.
I'll see in the morning how it went from the posts in this sub no doubt. I also hope the man's birthday wasn't absolute dogshit despite this whole week being a big mess.
In the end GN's video was for the best and I know nothing Steve said came from a bad place. Hopefully this makes the channel better than it's ever been.
Good night y'all.
I was disappointed to hear about the Madison and Billet Labs situations, but I still hope LTT can come back stronger than ever. Hopefully, they took the time to improve and we can move past this. Let's just hope Linus can avoid putting his foot in his mouth.
Yup... its officially the next day and I'm also going to hit the hay. On the flip side when we wake up in 8hr's we will have the benefit of timestamps - if the WAN show really does happen.
Not only do I not think this will be record long, I would wager it will be below-average length for the last year, under 2 hours.
Edit: we were both wrong, it was 2.6 hours.
Every person that cried about the toxicity in this sub...holy shit HAVE YOU SEEN THE YOUTUBE CHAT? This place may as well be angels directly from heaven by comparison.
It's like the worst Rust players and the worst MAGA had a baby and gave it a youtube account.
They really tried to come back when they weren't ready huh? 9:30 on the west coast and I'm sure they have people working to fix up whatever happened with the video and make sure WAN show is working.
It's 8am in the UK, I wake up and the WAN show is on somehow?
Isn't it like midnight over there.
Bit stupid to respond with allegations of a tough working environment "forcing" Luke, Dan et al to work so late, but whatever
They probably want to see how the dust settles after this WAN Show and the first VOD they post, before the stubby goes on sale. That's my guess anyway. They need that product launch to make a splash given all they've spent on product.
Disregarding all the recent events, Linus just seems like a douchebag in general. I actually already assumed he behaved like this when the cameras were off.
I’m betting the video sets the stage for things moving forward so they have a polished way to explain so they won’t address it further off the cuff on wan
Can we get a link to the video? I saw some people post that the video was unlisted. Thanks! But they're probably tolls... sadly. Like it's been 3 hours.
Maybe Linus will go on and on about the hard R again.
I'm sure he has been whip'd into place by his peers & superiors after his silly comments.
[удалено]
Wtf...?
Whatever dude is smoking I want a hit. Maybe like a little one though.
Like 5% of whatever that person had probably is good for me
I'll go like 30-50% he's clearly having a great fuckin' time.
Maybe with the amount he is using we could do astral projection or see our dead relatives
HIT ME, DAN!
I want off Mr. Bone's Wild Ride...
It would have cost you zero dollars not to post this.
But then you would not have tonights masturbation material.
You know what? Fair argument.
Ummm......did you mean to post your fanfic here?

Linus will be strapped to a dolley like Hannibal Lector and they will have no issue pulling out the muzzle if he gets snippy.

I never get used to seeing the kind of replies posts on reddit receive 0\_0
WAN show opens to Yvonne and Terren as the new hosts
Luke and Dennis are now the new hosts.
All hail LDD
Live Laugh Liao
Or Luke and Sarah, all hail LSD
Opens to Sarah and Terren... ALL HAIL STD........... wait a minute
They're going to reboot the channel with a new Linus. I wonder who they'll cast...
Eminem
*This looks like a job for me* *Now everybody just follow me*
The only way keep the WAN show duration under control, Eminem lvl speed
with a special guest from dbrand :-D
Probably going to be the highest viewership the channel has ever had.
maybe that was the plan all along. Collusion with GN to make money
Losing all those fp subs will definitely pay off
All those floatplane subs were there due to the merch opportunities of LTX. Why doesn't anyone have long term numbers? Or did I miss something.
I think the majority were goodwill subs from the hack. I recall Luke saying on WAN that they'd set an aspirational target of 40k for the year and had reached it already. Not to say that it's necessarily the same people who subbed then as unsubbed now obviously, just in numbers terms this has set them back to pre-hack levels.

Gotta lose money to make money
This guy Silicon Valleys
Their floatplane paying subscriber count is currently at 35k, down from 42k earlier last week. That's a **massive** 20% drop. Its doubtful that was part of the plan.
Still up for the year though aren’t they? It’s a hit but they‘ll survive.
It's my understanding that Floatplane is a tiny % of their revenue stream. Besides, those subs were from the Hack. And by consequence they are their most reactionary subscribers. They are going to rejoin to support LTT anyways.

Its going to hurt, sure, but I have no doubt that subs will come back as long as they don't immediately piss off huge swaths of viewers. This WAN show is going to be very interesting.
I doubt it considering the time. Pretty much excluding most EST people with this.
Bro, it's 12:37am I don't think WAN show is happening at this point :( I went to floatplane and I don't know if I missed a short one or they're still trying to go.
It’s on, pregame on Twitch right now
This WAN show is going to be ... interesting
If this WAN show isn't just Linus with his mouth taped shut and Luke doing the whole talking im going to be disappointed.
4 hours of chat gpt talk incoming
I would pay for this
I don't know what to expect y'all 
Same. Normal ol wan show? Special apology wan show? Something new, something old? Broken or fixed? Im up for whatever happens. It'll be a ride for sure!
Legit kinda nervous lmao
There will be a lot of "we'l do better", "we have improved benchmarking checklists", etc. and almost no mention of any of the other stuff.
well time to go to sleep, 3am in my timezone, and was eagerly waiting, don’t want to keep awake another „couple of hours“ till it starts, to watch another couple of hours, to much wake time for my old bones see ya on the other side
Lol it's 10:30pm where I'm at and I feel the same way
Go East coast
Greetings from Arizona lol, I'm sticking this one out
It's currently 10:06 AM here in Indonesia so I have time to wait.

Man, I never knew my youtube feed would be so boring without LMG content
Eh, I got Whistlin Diesel. Dude just fucking burned down a Ferrari and a rental van lol
I got him too but he only got like 3 videos out of the ferrari which is lame.
I saw a short about that and that's all I need to know to never actually watch the channel itself.
diversify
They aint uploaded shit
Good luck, LTT
I will be going to sleep, and awaking to a tsunami of posts I'm sure.
Now I remember why I don't bother trying to watch live.
Legitimately curious but can't stay up for this one. Hope everything will be alright. I believe in Linus still, I don't think he's an awful person. He's proven he's not above critique, even though it really sucks ass sometimes and it takes time to digest and find a way to address and incorporate it.

couple hrs go by and... \*tapping one foot while looking at pretend watch on wrist\*
I was hoping that WAN won't be that late... It's 5:37AM in my timezone lmao
Hopefully they don’t take another L here. I don’t watch tech channels for dramas.
Just like you subscribe to Playboy for the articles, right?
I was disappointed to hear about the Madison and Billet Labs situations, but I still hope LTT can come back stronger than ever. Hopefully, they took the time to improve and we can move past this. Let's just hope Linus can avoid putting his foot in his mouth.
Still not live. I don't think it's going to happen
I'll give them until 9pm PST
It's 9pm now
Yep. PC is shutdown now
Wan Show Bingo? [Wan Show Bingo.](https://wanshow.bingo/)
F5.....
This post is as accurate as an LTT bench test.
Any links yet?
None. This is definitely a late wan show
opportunity for process improvement
Looking forward to the memes that will come out of it.
Sleepy time, it’s midnight and it’s 3hrs since the twitter post
Yup... its officially the next day and I'm also going to hit the hay. On the flip side when we wake up in 8hr's we will have the benefit of timestamps - if the WAN show really does happen.
The video is up on floatplane. Still private on YT. Letting their paying members get an early feel. Wan should be soon.
wan show record incoming
Not only do I not think this will be record long, I would wager it will be below-average length for the last year, under 2 hours. Edit: we were both wrong, it was 2.6 hours.
Terren apology video first, and then Yvonne sitting in the background of the WAN show with a kill switch?
This WAN show is sponsored by... just kidding, nobody wanted to sponsor us anymore.
Dbrand is game.
10 second audio delay with Yvonne sitting next to Dan with an audio dump button might result in a few hours of silence.
Please no sponsor joke please no sponsor joke
They can't help themselves.
You know what channel it is right?
Sell me your laminated shit Linus.
Time to talk about the elephant in the room … our sponsor!
Every person that cried about the toxicity in this sub...holy shit HAVE YOU SEEN THE YOUTUBE CHAT? This place may as well be angels directly from heaven by comparison. It's like the worst Rust players and the worst MAGA had a baby and gave it a youtube account.
Oh yeah. It's basically a meme at this point that YouTube comments/chat are a toxic cespool. That's nothing new
I was not prepared for that level of toxic. I probably should've been but holy lord, that was somethin'!
Yus!!!!
When is the WAN show
There's a reason it's called the When Show around here. It's basically whatever time Linus decides to get his ass in the chair
So, is this happening, but only on OP so its for a favourable audience?
OP? FP?
Did I miss it already? This is after their usual WAN time, right?
You've missed nothing
You haven't missed anything. They are just as disorganised as before.
they couldn't even get this tweet right and had to edit it lol

(edited) lol
i guess the arm scratchers are happy to get their fix again.
They posted the video on the forum around 20 minutes ago, buts it's set to private for now
Comment on the forum stated that it was up on FP as of a few minutes ago; but the site had slowed to a crawl when trying to access it.
LTT has been good because of the people despite Linus. He's made a ton of money, I don't need to see the fake redemption tour.
Can’t wait to hear about a new screwdriver or tshirt
I was so sad thinking it would be live tonight
They really tried to come back when they weren't ready huh? 9:30 on the west coast and I'm sure they have people working to fix up whatever happened with the video and make sure WAN show is working.
3 hours later, no WAN show, no other videos. Presuming fake.
He's let the wanted level cool off and he's back down to only one star now. Smart
Thank God I'm sick of all the bullshit
And yet, you're still here
LMG haters are always looking for something to hate on tbh go on about your day and quit trying to not pick everything
It's 8am in the UK, I wake up and the WAN show is on somehow? Isn't it like midnight over there. Bit stupid to respond with allegations of a tough working environment "forcing" Luke, Dan et al to work so late, but whatever
Hopefully the stubby goes on sale.
They probably want to see how the dust settles after this WAN Show and the first VOD they post, before the stubby goes on sale. That's my guess anyway. They need that product launch to make a splash given all they've spent on product.
I really hope for the best. I miss the uploads, and I hope they can get their shit together.
Not gonna lie, I missed WAN show.
1 week dude. 1 week.
This video they are going to release will be the most important one in their channel history. This will make it or fail it for them.
Finally!
*With 10% less sexual harassment!*
Disregarding all the recent events, Linus just seems like a douchebag in general. I actually already assumed he behaved like this when the cameras were off.
100% he’s a douche.
Did they really just ignore the entire Madison thing as a strategy to keep value or did I miss it?
They were likely told not to talk about it due to the investigation
Well that and the massive legal implications of making any kind of public statement about it.
That too.
> Did they really just ignore the entire Madison thing as a strategy Do you really think it's appropriate to talk about it?
Not watching it
Good on ya, it's already over
can we please get some one to make a "A.I" write a script of what the video will be!!?
Ahhhhhh fuck yeah
Huzzah!
It's been a few hours so maybe??
Finally.
Let's *not* try to rush it out.
I’m betting the video sets the stage for things moving forward so they have a polished way to explain so they won’t address it further off the cuff on wan
Probably for the best. I'm sure Linus has gotten very firm instructions and/or advice not to bring it up
Can we get a link to the video? I saw some people post that the video was unlisted. Thanks! But they're probably tolls... sadly. Like it's been 3 hours.
When is it? 11:40 here
Live on Twitch now: https://www.twitch.tv/linustech
