We heard you loud and clear. In response to your comments on today’s video, we’ve uploaded an additional video containing content that was cut from the main edit, where Linus tries the influencer drinks. We've taken note of the community's feedback and will use it to improve our processes for these sorts of things.
Here's the link: czcams.com/video/kMY5-X8aGvw/video.html
I think it was fine to put the extra on floatplane. If someone really wanted to see more of this they should buy floatplane.
@@stephenbarsh620 nah cuh, making a dlc video is stupid
Tbh it was just shot and edited in a way where it's hard to edit out the FP exclusives. If you didn't make it look like viewers were missing out on content, then they wouldn't have complained about it.
It was fine, don't pander to the few.
@@mabey8048 It's not stupid. They provide a good 15 min video with the conclusion so your not missing that. They do this with a lot of videos and behind the scenes. They aren't the only ones who do it. Corridor do it with their VFX Artist React videos. They have a shorted version on CZcams and the extended cut on their own website.
REALLY?? A floatplane paywall to watch the rest of the episode? Cmon
Always the way it was going to go. makes them way more money, just annoying though
If your one of those, it is actually worth it for all the extended and behind the scene stuff and exclusives. At least once or twice a year.
You got the conclusion, you just didn't get some of the stuff in the middle.
If he had hidden the actual conclusion and the punishment drink, then sure that would be foul.
They do this on all the taste test ShortCircuits. Nothing new.
It's funny, they laughed at the guys moving all their videos from youtube to another site last week and then move half of this video to their own site this week.
He really made me watch him eat 5 chocolate bars and then cut out the best part of the video into a paywall
I love how he's not bullshitting around and straight up calls them up for garbage products, valuable only in name.
Well, maybe i am a shill, but i thought that Linus should've really dug into composition/ingredients of energy drinks. I mean, how much sugar they contain, how many "doses" etc. But i guess because of time constraints he couldn't do it. That "it tastes blue" gives me nothing.
@Schmidt_Smith I mean the video would be extremely long and lose a lot of people's attention. I agree that it would be nice but trust me we are in the very small minority who would want to listen to that and not switch to a different video.
@@kennymorelandiii9406 probably. But this looks like a video just for the purpose of video at this point, IMO.
I kinda hate that the rest of this video got pay walled
20$ for a cereal box?!? Are we kidding here!?!? 😱
I think it's two boxes, but still. Bad deal. Lucky for them, the GMM community is diehard and buy all their merch.
just paid 2€ for my strawberry cinnamon 😂
Small batch cereal is expensive as hell. Unless you're making millions of boxes you won't get to the ~3 dollar mark you'd get from a corn flakes or a cinnamon toast crunch
I think it's 2 for $20 so $10 a box.
@lovermillion It's kind of fair. It's not a good deal, but when it comes to buying merch from influencers, you pay that supporter tax. It's almost like an extra charitable donation since you enjoy the creator.
LTT merch all seems overpriced to me, too. But people buy it cause they love the channel.
Yall are missing Belle delphine bath water 😂😂
not supposed to drink that
@bradhaines3142 what, precisely, are you supposed to do with it? Tasted fine to me.
@@bradhaines3142 ohhhh I beg to differ. The types of people actually buying the Belle Delphine bath water, and doing so unironically, for sure drank it.
@@wertacusis that a self report 🤔
@@bradhaines3142 yeah i poured it into my eyes instead
OH Great now videos have DLC. :P
It's not that big of a deal breh, he was comparing food for the video and had some extra content with th drinks, he is allowed to push floatplane sometimes
Not a DLC, it's a separate package (tarkov reference 👀 )
Maybe it's cheaper than 250 bucks
@@coldshock5181 I mean kinda yeah it is
@@coldshock5181 he owns floatplane so he has to push it into almost every video 😂
14:54 That actually looks like sewage wtf
after seeing the Canadian Time Warden do it, I am not suprised...
but still... euugghh
That's why you don't always blend everything available together. Except for content
Sewage in a cartoon maybe.
@@EikottXD You never seen sewage? That's a literal poo poo water aka diarrhea
You don't even show half of thing and put it behind paywall.
Floatplane is supposed to be for extended version, not for keeping half of the main content behind it.
these types of videos are a commercial for floatplane
@@MrSirrr13
A 15 min commercial without any mention of it?
They already add the self promoting lttstore and floatplane.
Why make a dedicated video to just say watch the rest of content on flatplace? If they are this desparate then they need to try something better.
Seems like they are getting desperate for floatplane, let them, and hopefully noone watches and it falls apart. But why ? Because it's literally a clone of YT, and not the safe heaven they claim it to be, in case YT goes to shitz. Platforms like PeerTube are the solution by being decentralized, and not having yet another company based platform that can do whatever the hell they want at any point, including going bankrupt.
Forget the paywall thing, I love that they shouted out the water bottle which has been out of stock for like months now
lmao
aw really made the gamersupps floatplane exclusive :(
i agree, dont like that
Hey, he considers himself an 'influencer' now, which really means 'fleece your fans to poverty'.
@@sireuchreMaking 1/6th of a video, and not even the promised punishment, behind a paywall is "fleecing"? You got every other part of the video and still 6 videos a week for free
@@iggy880 I’ve always been on ur side in these conversations but I mean it’s not free ads or yt premium are worth something to them engagement means something, clicking sponser links using their sponsors it’s something it’s hardly free because nothing is free and ltt isn’t generous saints they are a company they know that we know that and they wouldn’t give us videos if they were loosing on it they profit off of us even if as individuals we aren’t worth much in value as view collectively it’s something significant.
@@sireuchre if 5$/month gets you to poverty I got bad news for you.
I love how Ryan Trahan is so obsessed with his new candy and says it's the best in the world and then Linus is like, nah! I've had better...
Same thing with mr. Beast's stuff😂
I mean he's not going to be like "Eh, I'm happy with it but could be better" lmfao he has to upsell it, especially if his audience is 24 year olds and under.
Ryan also markets his candy as a “healthier” option for candy. I’m not surprised it got poor reviews from Linus.
@@IncognitoSahil i haven't tried the new mr beast chocolate, but both the og chocolate and the cookies are pretty good! I don't really like the creamy texture that linus said, I much prefer the taste of cocoa instead of milk, and the natural ingredients are a huge plus, highly recommend if you can find. The only complain is that the bars are kinda small and light, so it's a little more expensive.
Regarding the cookies, they are pretty different from your standard cookie, i can see people not liking it, but it's a different and more natural approach to it, i did enjoy. Unfortunately i can't find them here in brasil, otherwise i would buy a lot more
@@jronmantech That's true
Hell nah just make the video itself a paywall
Yeah, this was basically one big ad for Floatplane
I don't know. Is it so wrong?
We got a nice big free part here. Just some missing. It's not Soo bad. I understand you though
I was here to see him try Jacksepticeyes coffee, I am SEVERELY disappointed.
I could've went without watching you eat 5 Mr beast chocolate bars if it meant I could see the tasting of my Irish man coffee
But is it actually good coffee ?
Also does it come with a bottle of Irish Whiskey so I can make myself a real Irish Coffee ?
the man began the last "I try influencer drinks" video with "I don't drink caffeine", so him not trying coffee is very not surprising.
@@FoxNZhe tries on floatplane probably
@@VividFlash can confirm
10/10 THIS. SO UPSET I DIDN'T GET TO SEE LINUS TRY AN INFLUENCER'S COFFEE. /s -_-
wtf where is the rest of the video?
This video was a 16 min AD for floatplane. Too bad we don't know what was in the blender at the end
Skill issue
As a FP user, the extras is a behind the scenes with some extra stuff that didn't make it into the video... As usual. Not an entire continuation of the video like some people think lol
Yeah seriously, this felt very deceiving and I think this is the first time they do something that feels this "slimey". There was a lot more products and influencers and they only showed a lot of Mr.Beast stuff.
Seriously, this video just felt wrong. really like a floatplane ad. Just wrong, I'm probably going to skip this type of "I tried x products" videos from them from now on assuming it's just this type of time wasting teaser for a Floatplane promotion
@@fto1016you are too young for CZcams
@@FAB1150if those "extras" are multiple entire additional rounds of him trying more products, like the video pretty directly seems to say/show it being, then that's very much a continuation of the video.
I pay my CZcams premium, I'm not paying for floatplane as well. I don't have a problem with exclusive videos or series but cutting half of the video like this ia kind of scummy
agreed
Linus' or Taran's fault?
@@TestyMcTestersonprolly directly niether
Cutting the video like that yea i agree. But you cant say its scummy that they have a paid service because you pay for someone elses paid service
Edit:realised you basically said that lmao. Whoops
This is really just a Floatplane ad. Odoo basically got ripped off. LTT might as well just bail from CZcams and only be on Floatplane. Motor Trend moved Roadkill, and it worked, right? Oh yeah, that's right - I've never watched a single Roadkill since they left CZcams.
sour boys would have slapped in the sour candy section
Just thinking that homie
Sour Boys just sounds like a knockoff Sour patch kids.
I like sour candies and would like to give them a try but are they not too expensive ?
@@NealMohansMicroPenissour boys single-handedly the best sour candy I have ever had. And there's a candy store around the corner from me that has an aisle dedicated to sour candy. It beat everything in that aisle
@CH-cc4lf I mean they're spendy but good quality. He ACTUALLY makes it himself as opposed to other youtubers that partner with an existing big company or use a white label. If you just want sour belts you can find cheaper alternatives that will satisfy your fix, but if you want to support an independent company that makes their candy in the US (a lot of gummy style candy is made in China for some reason) and has different flavors than you might commonly find, you may want to give them a try.
Meh. 4 chews and it tastes like wax@TechXTech91
Can't believe we got Linus Mukbang before GTA 6 🔥.
I only wanted to see feastables and jacks top of the morning coffe withch is behind a paywall!
Yup, first dislike on a video in a while.
really youtube doesnt get to see what some of the blender stuff is or what linus said about the drinks
thats some bs
I'm cool with yall doing additional products over at floatplane, but this is kinda like if you did the gamer drink episode and at the end ranked some drinks that were only covered in the floatplane version. It feels like you removed part of the original video rather than added something extra :/
Nice, video with DLC. Now i need do P2W (Pay 2 Watch)
That paywall really sucks
You missed Oompaville's candies. I think they are the best candies in the influencer world. And they make them themselves
Never buy stuff from youtubers or influencers. They're already richer than most of us. No point making them richer. Buy from your local producers.
@@roku_nine you think the products you buy in stores aren't making people rich?
and what's wrong with people wanting to make money? you should feel the need to make money instead of complaining about other people making money. it's actually insane that people complain about being able to make money. you have the same rights as them to make money.
ltt collabed with steven he? 0:45
when?
I think they reviewed influencer desk setups at one point and he was in that. Not sure otherwise
Damn Odoo got scammed with this video. Pay full ad price for 1/2 a video
I kinda feel bad for the YT premium subscribers and the YT members who pay to not get content lmao
Linus said he'd look into why the video pushes so hard for floatplane on the WAN show
@@Voyajer. Sure... but like that's kinda an easy fucking thing to figure out when you're the owner of the company. LMG isn't Amazon, it's like 100-200 people. He knows who is in charge of this channel's final edits.
I'm using YT premium and don't know why would you feel bad about us. I can understand with YT members though.
To be fair, I think it's been made pretty clear that floatplane is where they put all their exclusive content.
It's kinda on you if you decide you'd rather get a yt membership instead.
Wtf 20 💵 for 2 servings of cereal. Fucking hell
It is for both boxes, so *four* servings, lol. Microbatches of cereal are extremely expensive, though.
0:56 The fact that Linus apparently doesn't even recognize The Rock is hilarious to me
I also wish to see linus cooking video in his kitchen or in the office with latest in the cooking tech which is way out of budget for regular kitchen youtube like a expensive stove nice video
Food from Japanese influencers like kimagure cook and hikakin are actually bangin.
I could understand if you cut out part of each section but completely cutting the liquid portion (90% of the stuff we want to see), behind floatplane is basically a middle finger to everyone who doesn't pay
Is that 90% of what we want to see? Maybe what you want to see, but I'm just here for the general food and then the punishment drink.
@@iggy880 For real. The people making these comments are such drama queens. Corridor Digital does the exact same thing and nobody ever says anything about that.
wtf happened? Did you forget to include the drinks segment in the video? Huh?
No they made it "Floatplane exclusive", you need to pay at least $5 a month to view that part :)
@@readmore8974 ugg.
Can i ask why you boost the volume while he is chewing?? who wants to hear that??
Yeah, I can't stand the sound of eating. Makes me so angry. Someone told me that there is a name for this, but I don't remember it anymore
@@railasvuo omg same, it makes me so pissed off! It’s called misophonia lol. I can’t even go to theatres because of the popcorn chewing.
@@Ian-dy6cf Yeah it's horrible 😅
Mukbang is a big thing on youtube, it's all about the eating and slurping
The plug for floatplane in this video was poor. The video cut / plug to view more on floatplane just made me angry.
😂
You must be quick to anger then.
Really, you put Oompaville's review on floatplane?! COME ON!
Love your videos and I understand why you put some of the content behind floatplane, but at least one of the gamer drinks would have been nice to watch!
Bro what the heck you guys just cut out the whole video for floatplane that's not fair
I mean it's already 16 minutes long. Engagement drops off a cliff for anything longer.
@@Nova-dy6fqbout to drop more as people unsub
@@MrXsMisery Brother, this is nothing new. Plus, if you want, you can always pay $5 and go binge their entire catalogue of exclusives if you want; the sheer content available is worth well more than what they charge. It's not unreasonable. Plus, no ads, so there's that lol.
@@Mrminesheepswhat other video did they stop halfway through?
As far as I know this is new for them.
And why should I support a CZcamsr who uses scummy tactics? If anything this video is a reason not to subscribe to Floatplane.
@@Jehty21 They didn't though, this was clearly labelled as the foods portion of this video. Is it annoying? Sure. But we still got the conclusion. I'd be upset if the payoff was paywalled, but it wasn't.
The floatplane exclusivity aspect was really disappointing. It’s just like how developers cut content from a game to release it as “DLC” or a “collector’s edition” alongside the game. It’s not new content or stuff that wouldn’t usually “make the cut,” it’s just a way to chop up and repackage the same game (in this case, video) for extra profit. I like the old integration of floatplane where we get exclusives and *behind the scenes content* that wouldn’t fit in a normal video. Not chopped up extras regular videos for the sake of making a quick buck
Except you're wrong. It's more like a freemium game, to progress further, you gotta pay up.
@@tigerhead85 I pay for CZcams premium, I get ad-free watching and my view actually gives the creator a bigger penny. I pay monthly for this service - yet I've been blue-balled with this video. Do I not count?
can you make snacks and call them "Linus Tech Treats"?
make a spicy colton sweet, as he is always fired, a bitter dan, a sweet sarah and a sour linus, you can thank me later.
no sour boys? Oompaville build his own production company. I would like to know if it sucks or not.
Will it blend, that's the question
I don't like half the video being made exclusive. This feels like clickbait in a way.
We only get half videos now?
It's great that LTT reversed course and uploaded the extra footage.
When I heard about the video being paywalled, I only expected a version where the rest of the team tries to guess the flavours, not half of the content being locked behind floatplane.
Nah bro u cant lock the most important influencer products behind a paywall
You should have put extras in floatplane, not the entire video. Thanks for fixing that
Probably the first time I'd be mad at them : Doing a two part video and one is paywalled on Floatplane? I always understood that extras and behind the scenes being paywalled is fine. But a teaser like that? I hope the part 2 will also be on CZcams.
IMO if the whole video was Floatplane exclusive it would be fine, as a gimmicky bonus that's not their normal content. But this half-cocked version is just annoying.
They did it once before; honestly cant remember but I did comment on it, it was about two years ago.
I love the uh oh XD where he knew he messed up when saying he'll only drink what he does
Dang a corporation made the list before Oompaville
No Sourboys? Oompa is probably the only "influencer" that actually makes their own product and doesn't do it via a third party company or a white label. And they're good!
If you're going to just cut half of the video for floatplane, dont even bother putting the other half on CZcams
They cut like 25% the video max. The fp exclusive is mostly behind the scenes and stuff that got cut from this video
@@zachmondial2172 No? It's like 5 of the influencer's products, that's sorta a lot of the video. A bunch of people in the comments are complaining he skipped their fav influencer's product and stuck it on floatplane
@shall_we_kindly okay that makes more sense. I will say I truly was far less interesting. I see why people mad about title.
Haha Bell agreed to match the drinking too fast 😅
that "oh deal" was agreed upon so fast😂😂
Now I really want Linus to try Sour Boys from Oompaville. They're great and also not good for you if you eat too much just like candy is supposed to be
Yeah, I don't understand why you have to try to make candy healthier
@@railasvuoSo people can swallow bags of the quote on quote "healthy" candy and not feel bad about it
Is it good and sour? Cuz I kinda feel like Linus. I have gotten things that say thing like "Extreme Sour" just to barely taste anything at all.
RIP Pop Smoke 😂😂
Channel super fun returning as part of shortcircuit, lol
As a die hard Try fan, I'm happy to see Keith's sauce rank so highly.
This shouldn't be pay walled
How is it paywalled if we can see the conclusion still?
13:00 Oh no you don't, why did you cut out half the content.
Watching on my laptop and I hit the left arrow by mistake at the very beginning of the video and it was just a great experience I did it a few more times in quick succession and hearing Linus start jamming out with the first word he says is wonderful lol
This feels like the first 15 minutes of the video and then an ad for the full version, rather than a reasonably cut down long video for youtube and a less edited version for floatplane. I.e. this fomes off as taking content away rather than giving a bonus for floatplane (i think due to the editing)
Love the lion king reference
why is gamerfart 9000 only on floatplane
I actually really enjoyed this video for some reason. I knew I would, but it was super fun lmao.
Edit: until the end. That was cheap guys... I wasn't going into this video expecting not to be able to see the entire thing. You took away half the video and put it behind a paywall. Not cool.
there are ways to do extended episodes, corridor digital for example.... this was not the way to do them lol. Cutting out the majority of the content was 100% the wrong move. But you guys already know that and have fixed it, good on you.
I’m a little disappointed that you cut it off for floatplane. I get behind the scenes when it ends up being super super long and some exclusives for them but I can’t afford a monthly subscription. Doesn’t mean I haven’t financially supported the company at all I have bought 2 mousepads it’s not a lot but was a lot for me when taking into account shipping and would rather watch the whole thing
I'd rather this had been a full fp exclusive, than be posted like this. Some people literally cannot spare $5. I'll definitely think twice before clicking another LMG video from now on.
Linus a year ago : "So Im stepping back behind the scenes"
Linus now : "I do all my own stunts"
Lol.......................................................
The better floatplane exclusive would've been other staff rating/trying the food as well
When I saw Jacksepticeye, I thought Linus was going to try his Top of the Morning coffee 😢
LOVE the fact that Linus doesn't know who is Kim Kardashian! That is a GOOD thing.
Bad time to turn parts of videos into DLCs, following escape from tarkov steps
Everyone hitching about floatplane be glad you got to see any of this video
wait so YT doesnt get full viids anymore?
They have done this before on really long shoots.
didn't know this was channelsuperfun
Lmao love how Linus tried to make the amount of blend smaller. And Bell just absolutely tanked it and made him drink more
To quote The Menu, "American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger because it melts without splitting".
really?? paywall?? come on guys...
Linus Food Tips
linus can really review anything at this stage - love it!
This feels like a good-mythical-morning episode
Yeah, I agree with the rest of the comment section, cutting the video like this is not cool... Make a community post about floatplane exclusive content, feature a few second clip of it at the end of another video, something. Just don't do this, it just leaves a really sh**ty taste in the viewer's mouth. Kind of like half these products.
No Sour boys candy?
Props to Bell for including Anime Girl Thigh.....literally my co-fav flavor.
I'm not a fan of you guys pay walling half the video like this. Either upload the video to CZcams or don't, this feels scummy.
That segue was so smooth I ended up watching the ad out of respect 👌🏻😂
Haven't laughed that hard since the roast, this is beautiful.
How do people watch videos of people eating?? Like seriously it’s unbearable to me.
clickbait he only tried 7 and blend nothing
"oh this will be a fun video"
"Linus will be drinking all of the incorrect guesses"
"wtf"
Today i learned that Linus has eaten dog food.
Also he seems to be really generous with the scores today, lots of 5s and 6s for things he described as genuinely unpleasant.
... I have a Floatplane subscription ... why don't I just, watch the videos there? Now I gotta, go on over, when i should've been there all along.
Really, setting up a paywall for the rest of the video?
To be fair, by the list of ingredients of the cereal (3:27) you can tell that is a healthy product. The List is organized by quantity, so the sugar comes last, and you get more fibers from the whole wheat.
Oh wow they realy but half of the video for Float Plane...
Is April the let's paywall content month for CZcamsrs, what's going on
Ltt has fallen off pretty hard if this is what they post
