I'm paying more attention to his note about incoming staff lightening the load for current staff to work on passion projects. I don't think Linus wants ideas from too many non-LTT folks rn (that's just my two cents) I think he wants to empower his staff to make content in a more exploratory manner... specifically what they're passionate about. LTT has energetic, intelligent, driven staff. I think Linus is realizing his staff's passions were the absolute best content he could produce. And he just has to let them do more of their own thing while still being "Linus Tech Tips" of yesteryear... very achievable with multiple synergistic channels. To be real, I think if he does that it will reinvigorate LTT and possibly redefine it entirely.
