I've been a LinusTechTip's fan for a long while now. I have watched Linus (LTT) grow as an entity over the years, transitioning into the Linus Media Group (LMG) company and have really enjoyed majority of the content under the multiple channel branding. More so, personally I have been able to watch this content for free - this entire time, either be it YouTube or the more recent Vessel's platform purely for the 7 day early access content but this early access has come to an end this month - slightly unfortunate (for me at least - the unpaid subscriber).
This is purely going to come down to whether subscribers of LTT/LMG believe the content is worth the cost of watching immediately post release. The choice will obviously come down to two different groups of people:
Group A) I love LTT/LMG content so much, I cannot wait the 7 days to watch early access content, I must pay the Vessel subscription now.
Group B) I love LTT/LMG content, but I can wait 7 days to watch the content, no need to pay the early access Vessel subscription.
Unfortunately for me, I fall into category B, I can wait - I would prefer not want to wait, but I am not prepared to pay for content that I will receive 7 days after it was originally posted for free. Obviously a nice marketing ploy, but simply not worth the money, the paid Vessel subscription does not benefit me in any way apart from enjoyment of the content - early.
Unless I am missing something here? Or certain content simply does not make it to unpaid users, then I really cannot see the entire benefit of paying for early access - excluding the supporting LTT/LMG factor that others are bringing up and mentioning.
