Good stuff. 
 

Super fun seeing who recognizes, and the realtor office happening to get mixed in is great.  At this point I’m wondering if next years should just be Linus/Luke sending others to do the deals. 
 

My only suggestion at this point is a 30 second ‘previously on’. Can be double tapped quickly for those who don’t need it, but it’s probably straight up Riley’s alley.  All that’s needed is team $x has xyz, and also has the following deals pending.    (Yes the box in the corner was helpful).

Anyone else get a bad taste in their mouth because of the LTT giveaway. In the video they say "We're actually going to be giving some of these away on Floatplane at the end of this". When diving into the fine print they have NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Yet later on they just have this.

 

No purchase necessary. One (1) free entry per person, per contest period, is available by mail to our offices.

Address:

Linus Media Group

18425 53 Ave

Surrey, BC, Canada

V3S 7A4

 

It does not explain what you need to mail and therefore I don't believe there is actually no purchase necessary. It seems more like a lawyer wanted to plaster that all over the rules without really having a way of claiming a prize if you don't pay for a floatplane account. In fact later on when talking about the skill-testing question it says, "Email will be sent to the email address associated with the winner’s Floatplane account." Again they show they don't really have a way for someone to enter this raffle without a purchase.

I'm loving the difference in strategy between Luke and Linus.

 

Linus went for the Buyer Seller Strategy™, that gives him more budget in exchange for time.

 

Luke went for the Biggest GPU™ strategy.

I know its a legal thing and I hope it doesn't bite them.  They didn't give a way to enter the Dan bread giveaway either.   ^{(Linus mentioned they need to add a way to enter free, and if they did I never saw it)} 
 

I'm assuming its oversight and its no worse then other youtubers, but it can be random on when some government agency decides to point a gun and I hope all their ducks are in a row.

 

Either way its a side topic compared to the main awesome series

i wonder if linus would still feature sellers in video...

for example if linus asked if use linus screw driver or know linustechtips youtube. linus is horrible pc builder and said  they watch some ohter youtube channel instead
