    LMG is a marketing group. Linus has gone over this before on other WAN shows. Across their channels, for most their content, they make commercials or otherwise generate mostly positive attention for sponsors. Both low key where they don't acknowledge it, or high key where they do. You don't have this kind of staff or offices, or frankly, a new inground pool and sports car, if you're doing "business" otherwise. It's a business, and because you're not paying for this content - you can guaranteed you're being marketed and pitched to in some fashion.

    This isn't financial advisement, but the accounting depends on the format of your organization and the services it provides, either of itself, or via distinct entities. Sounds like Linus has a number of primarily service-based concepts in mind; these could be handled/offered by divisions using DBA configuration, where taxes and accounting duties are consolidated into a singular entity with multiple faces - each specializing in distinct areas of business. This approach generally simplifies administrative workloads and more easily allows common resources to be shared or transferred according to whatever needs your organization may have. Because all the DBA divisions are *one* legal entity rather than distinct persons ("person" in the legal sense; entity), it is worth noting that any liability incurred by any of the DBAs also belongs to the others, asthey are legally one person acting under distinct business names - or trademarks.
    It may make more sense to isolate the most legally and financially risky or demanding as its own service, even if as a series LLC held by a holding company. Whatever path is chosen, I hope it works out famously.
