    my goodness, they need to slow the video output rate so that they can carefully consider the content of responses to valid criticism.

      I think Linus is convinced that if they slow down at all, the entire company will collapse because they’ve grown so huge. They also ran up huge debt to build the Labs which will not start generating revenue for a long time.

        Well, then it’s a good thing that he didn’t also blow a bunch of money on a mansion, a “true” mansion, and then a badminton court. That would have been a real waste of money that could have gone to a safety net for the company instead, so, you know, it’s great that he didn’t do anything like that.

          Wait are you saying he was mixing his own personal money and the businesses money? I am very much curious about the context/story here.

        I’ve been wondering about that too; really not sure where the ROI was going to come from for such a massive investment. Sure, it enhances the videos, but by that much? Unlikely. Where’s the income generation happening on all that equipment?

          They have the infrastructure to be a testing powerhouse, putting out a lot more data than other sites. That said, they seem to be doing it very inefficiently and don’t seem to have the staff and knowledge to make it all work.

          All the videos on the equipment. :p

          I mostly think this is the main thing about the lab. It’s content, lots of content, which he can monetize. His giant house. Lots of projects, more content.

          The data is a far secondary goal. The equipment would never pay for itself without the content it generates.
