LTT vs MKBHD to 10M subs

[Crazy-Logic]

If anyone really wants to track the sub count in a more up to date fashion than socialblade see this little site i pulled together https://lttvsmkbhd.com/

I'm not entirely sure they're comparable. They fulfil different roles in the tech youtuber community.

Nice work on the site.

But I don't view it as a race...

Also if you include all Linus Cat Tips members, I'm sure LMG has well beyond 10M subs.

i'm not so sure as cats tips only has about 210K subs, so yeah changes the leader, but not the first to 10mil

It is kind of a race, they have a bet going on. I believe the loser has to wear the merch of the other I can't remember the full details but I recon it was said in a WAN show

Nice Website you got there m8 !

Not gonna lie, I'm rooting for MKBHD on this one. He's basically a one man show (he might have a helper or two, but no where near as large as LTT), and he puts out fewer videos. Yet he's still ahead. Though, I think if LTT puts out any kind of Black Friday buyers guide video, they might pull out ahead.

Why does that matter though? They don't have to be in the same category to compete.

They musta forgotten about Pewds (one guy with mebbe some helpers) vs T-Series (full company).

I am rooting for LTT. I dont watch every single video but as long as LTT is DIY sth crazy i will watch it.

Personally, i don't like MKBHD anymore. The channel use to be okay with phone reviews, honest good and bad. but now, i feel like he is just repeating whatever the manufactures want him/the media to say. The one recent video i do like from him is the one he tested the youtube compression to the limit by uploading a video 1000 times. This is insightful and fun.

He has an entire team of full-time employees...

Oh? Does he? Must have grown massively since May last year then. When he only had one other employee.

AKA, I don't believe you.

Oh, and he even has a producer: https://twitter.com/andymanganelli?lang=en

 

So there's 4 full-time employees, I don't have the energy to stalk the part-timers.

Even if we go with 4, that's still no where near 24.

Don't move goalposts now that you realize you were wrong. You said he was a one man show, he's not. You then stated he only had one full-time employee, he has at least 4. 

 

I never brought up, nor care to discuss the comparison in number of employees in each company. I was simply pointing out your misinformation.

Haha, maybe you should actually read what I wrote. I said basically, and a helper or two, which could mean full time. It was comparing him to a company that's multitudes larger.

 

This interview in May, a month after that article was written, states he has one full timer other than himself:

Still incorrect. If you'd rather see him directly address his hiring of employees: 

And yes, I read what you said. You explicitly said in a condescending manner that he must have grown massively in the last year since you recall him only having one employee. The whole "AKA I don't believe you" nonsense was extremely childish and the reason why I'm responding in kind and not letting you wiggle out of your misinformation.

 

Again, you're wrong. You learned something new today, just move on and take it for what it is. Maybe next time don't act like a jerk.

I'll act however I see fit, don't really need to take any tips from you, thanks

He's richer I think, one person vs. a company with full time wages to pay

edit: even if it was 5 people they'd be rich
