could be a nice idea but it means there would have to be a lot of time spent on people trying to filter the shit from the people that are decent at doing reviews.

There must be people on the Forum that can edit aswell so why should the LMG crew do it, Linus could create the channel though and upload the weekly winner, would love to see it

 

Yes, something like this would work. Where al that has to be done by LMG is grab the winning video and upload it. The rest should be community driven, shooting, editing, and voting on winners. 

 

I'd quite like to see what comes of it. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

Would also be possible to not do it weekly but as often as we get atleast 5 participants

Yeah, it could be a more casual series, schedule/upload wise.

Thats actually a nice idea, yeah. Weekly themes would be very nice. Or even bimonthly if it comes to it.

 

As for editing. Unless people want to use it as an opportunity to learn. They could be casually done infront of the product, a la unboxing videos. I see it hard to get constant editors.

You'd honestly be better off making your own YouTube channel and whenever you make a new video post it here on LTT under user reviews. That way there is no competition among members and everyone can contribute what they want (you can already do this). People who don't already make their own videos for sharing here on LTT aren't probably doing so for a good reason.

Absolutely! i'm quite excited for this all of a sudden...  

 

although what would the videos consist of? I mean, we already have a review section. An expansion of this? with only videos? I get that we could do themes, so would people go for wha they like? 

A review, a mod,?

I see your point of view, but I felt as though it could have been a fun way to bring members together, and get a community project going. 

 

It's a bit far fetched though ill give you that.

Maybe for the first Theme we could to little mods that normally don't deserve an own thread but helped out amazingly with the way you use your PC, something like a extended power button so you can turn your pc on from the desk and stuff like this

Actually I think not as many at first but if the themes keep getting better their will be more and more

yeah, once the momentum gets there. It does need approval from higher up though,unless a fanatics channel starts.

I would like something like option 1, but the community does the voting instead of LMG.

 

 

Great idea, this would give others more oppurtunities to start up their own channel and start earning :D

 

Ok guys so here is what I think. I will create a platform for all to be able to send videos and what not, only with the approval of someone from LMG. going on it without "permission" will probably go badly. If they support it, and say "lets see what comes out of it", I will start working on the platform.

There was NCIX Tech tips.  Why did Linus open LinusTechTips? I know that now NCIX is more about news, but 2 years ago it was the same...

I do not understand. Can you please say more? I realy dont want LMG to get sued, but I dont understand why will somone sue?

 

No, the community thing is being done.

 

I'll give you a for instance... Matt Stone & Trey Parker make South Park with their team, and have said they will not accept anything, BECAUSE they can get sued unless the idea creator signs a contract and all sorts of other crap JUST to take the idea. So that could happen here...

I am no lawyer, but I believe that if there is a website, and there are "terms of use", and to upload content you need to accept them, and it indicates (among other things): "You declare that you have the full right to your content, and you are acountable for content you upload that is not yours. You give up all of your rights to a video once you post it,"

I dont know but I just think you can get around this

It could be a community project. I don't think the LMG team will have the time to sort through and edit more videos. But there could be a subforum where people can post there videos and the community can vote on if it should be put up on the channel. And if something needs to be changed the community can say so and have the person fix that issue.

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

Hey guys!

I have an idea that I call "LinusFansTips" it is essentially a VidBox that the community sends unedited/edited reviews (have to be with a tripod, at least 720p, good light, clear and proffesional) and it will have a voting system that the community rates.

It can go 2 ways:

1 - LMG will choose 1 video per week, edit it a little, and post it.

2 - Opening a youtube channel called LinusFansTips or something, uploading the videos there - so videos preferably will be edited, and if unedited we will edit it.

 

What do you think?

If you are a part of LMG - Do you want this? will it be great?

If you are part of the community - Will you want to send videos? Will you want to review in video form?

 

If so, I will take on myself to build this VidBox.

 

Thanks guys,

DFTBA.

Another EDIT:

At the moment I see a lot are excited for a project like this, and we need a thought from an LMG member to see if we can give it a try.

Something like this would be fun to do and see. Count me in.

I think the idea is pretty great(and I'd personally enjoy it, as well as contribute) but I do see some "hurdles".

 

As others have stated, attaching LMG to the proposed channel/videos/reviews/etc is very unlikely to happen. There are simply too many legal ramifications. One person can truly ruin it for all. You could have 99% of the community following the "format", and then one person decides otherwise, and it's LMG, not any of us - that has to "pay for it"

 

I think if this idea were to be successful, it would be in a community-driven and community-enforced format, without involving LMG directly. I could see it being a possibility if LMG was only attached in-so-far as allowing the forum to be used by the community (like how the Member Reviews section is now). The community would do the videos, editing, reviews and voting. At that point, LMG could offer their own personal opinions, within the forum; without legal ramifications of intellectual property being violated by using so-and-so's video, etc.
