Video Credits for Contributors?

Nomar1245

As I was watching 3 Reasons NOT to buy a $400 Laptop, I began to think to myself, "I wonder how involved Linus is in all of the videos now?" I didn't think this because I believe he is doing less work, but because of how thorough the content is. Then I thought, "It must be hard for Linus to find people he trusts who he can work with and feel comfortable representing him and his name on "LinusTechTips." Then I thought about all the VLOG videos and WAN show episodes where Linus has commended his staff and given them credit for all the things they do, especially on the videos he really likes.

 

And then I got the question in my head that prompted this post? Why doesn't LTT credit its contributors in the video descriptions? I know there are a number of writers on staff, and it seems to take a huge group effort to make and edit all the footage, and I'm curious to know who is working on each one. Traditional media would acknowledge the contributors, but I understand this is not traditional, and I was curious of anyone from the staff can give us some insight, or if anyone one else is curious about this like I am.

 

Thanks, and keep up the good work everyone.

The credits to new videos aren't in the description, they're at the very end when he tells you to dislike/like.

I used to be quite active here.

Wow. Haha. Thanks for the reply. The timing is amazing. I literally stopped the Macbook Stand video when it went to autoplay to post this thread. I'm glad you guys made the decision to add the credits.  I think its another step in the right direction for a medium that seems to have so few rules right now.
