>LTT makes almost all of it's money from floatplane, youtube premium, and youtube advertisements
In the recent video they did on their most profitable videos Linus explicitly said money from YouTube is only a small fraction of their revenue. I don't imagine Floatplane is much of a profit centre either...
Linus did a video on how much money they make from youtube premium/ads and the numbers can get as high as $50k-$100k/video for their most popular streams. It's not nothing. Floatplane is profitable because it's a subscription based system, and that's where the money always is. Hence patreon.
For a company with 50 employees, that is really not all that much.
Oh LTT also sells a lot of expensive but high quality merch.
