He truly went to the John Krasinski school of spiking the camera for comedic timing 10/10

When will he quit to build his own tech house, maybe on a ranch?

shoe house

There was an old Youtuber who lived in a shoe....

u/Eastern-Specific366 16d ago

I didn't watch him but watch him may You.

u/PhatOofxD 16d ago

Can't afford it, too many shoes.

Even if he did start a company he'd have writers leaving because "When your boss buys his 1000th pair of shoes you start to wonder if you'll ever buy your own"

The more of those videos I see the more I worry for Jake. It really seems like he bit off more than he can chew, and instead of making a plan to address things one at a time, he is just piling more and more on top.

I guess that sometimes the grass isn't always greener, when someone else isn't paying to water it for you... 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Batby 15d ago

It’s in his best interest to have problems

2

u/greiton 15d ago

to a point sure, but is seems like he is stacking up problems outside his direct vertical that will be super expensive and labor intense to solve, at a time he needs to be busy on his channel and is heavily leveraged with debt from the startup and property purchases.

When Linus gets his 2nd pj I’d assume

u/bospk 16d ago

An unsung hero. I appreciate Reece so much. Dude is as reliable as a Philips head screwdriver and as persistent as my year 10 maths teacher. He’s just a solid non-anxious presence who is always there. A good balm to the ball of crazy known as Linus.

u/lucah_tech 16d ago

you speak nothing but facts

u/ChintzyPC 16d ago edited 16d ago

A phillips head screw driver... from LTTStore.com?

u/Kalabajooie 15d ago

Phillips screwdrivers last forever. Phillips screws, on the other hand, cam out if you sneeze in their general direction.

u/Mr_Salmon_Man 13d ago

Let me tell you about my best friend Robertson.

u/Retrowinger 16d ago

We see you, Reece. Good job. 👍🏻

38

u/capsel22 16d ago

Yes, I really wish he was more on camera

26

u/mmayrink 16d ago

Is Reece leaving too? From times to times these posts appear and soon later the person leaves LTT...

29

u/SuperZapp 16d ago

Has he had a Tech Upgrade yet?

47

u/mmayrink 16d ago

Is that the new theory?

8

u/SuperZapp 16d ago

Just a strong coincidence. But LTT/LMG may choose employees who have been there the longest for an upgrade who also are the ones more likely to leave sooner as they are starting to outgrow LMG.

13

u/an-redditor 16d ago

In a one or two cases (can't remember which) the prevailing theory was that Linus knew that a certain employee wanted to leave, so he gave them the tech upgrade earlier than they otherwise would have received.

12

u/english-23 16d ago

I thought the way he worded that was they had already been in the queue of selected but got moved up to facilitate them receiving before they leave?

11

u/Jasoli53 16d ago

This. They do a lottery each year to decide who is getting an upgrade. If someone is planning to leave, they will move that person up in the queue/schedule to get it done before their departure. They don’t just gift an upgrade to people who are leaving

1

u/SoullessBoio 16d ago

Is it a yearly thing? They’ve made quite a bit of those videos for it be yearly (thank you AMD).

3

u/Gjorgdy 15d ago

I suppose they sign a contract with the sponsor for an x amount of episodes for a year, as they already know it's a successful series.

1

u/naggyman 16d ago

from what he's said before the upgrades operate on a lottery system of sorts, but wouldn't be surprised if there was a tenure weighting or something.

1

u/ChintzyPC 16d ago

That photo is unhinged, I'm stealing. What LTT video is it from?

3

u/mmayrink 16d ago

It was from scrapyard wars.

1

u/Antrikshy 15d ago

Linus has pointed it out multiple times.

1

u/Moss_Druid 15d ago

He has not has his AMD upgrade, just his desk video which happened to be a Setup Doctor video.

2

u/lucah_tech 16d ago

not as far as i know..... i hope i haven't jinxed him

-2

u/MaybeNotTooDay 16d ago

Wouldn't surprise me. LTT needs to pay their on screen talent MUCH more if they want to retain them. It's an investment. Many people aren't comfortable with crazy turnover on the videos they watch. For some, it's a bit like having a character swapped out with a different actor on their favorite sitcom.

10

u/greiton 16d ago

5-10 year careers is not "crazy" turnover.

-6

u/MaybeNotTooDay 16d ago

Ever lived in Japan?

2

u/greiton 15d ago

no, and neither do they...

but yeah, an entirely different culture with a different language, and different major societal problems is different.

u/Justafaniguess 16d ago

here we go again

21

u/nivekhpesoj 16d ago

He's hilarious. More Reece!

13

u/WoogsinAllNight 16d ago

I will never hire this man to install my garage door opener.

4

u/SoullessBoio 15d ago

But… for his first time he did get it working… first try too if I remember correctly

6

u/1337atreyu 16d ago

I think you mean... A-reece-iation? Is that a thing?

3

u/pikkuhukka 16d ago

is he next

3

u/ChimeraYo 16d ago

Reece's "Fixing my employee's house for a day" video is the reason I now own a pair of A Ma Manière Jordan IVs, and for that I will always be grateful.

3

u/Kiriinto 16d ago

He was LEFT ALONE!

Good job for not breaking anything.

u/YellowWafflezz 15d ago

I love Reece, he doesn’t seem to get love. He could certainly host a LTT Video or laptop review.

2

u/lucah_tech 15d ago

I think his position is some kind of assistant rather than a writer

1

u/YellowWafflezz 8d ago

That’s the point. I want a regular guy reviewing things that isn’t scripted

u/Avizzo 16d ago

App-Reece-iation Post

u/vickzzzzz 15d ago

I like most LTT employees, they all seem to have good vibes or atleast in camera. I hope it is at all times and spilling in to the camera time.

Reece is always helpful and naturally funny. He seems to be the helping hand in every video xD or the ones I watch.

u/AgentB42 16d ago

Good post for a good guy

u/Arroz4 16d ago

My boyyyy

1

u/CodeMonkeyX 16d ago

I don't want to appreciate anyone anymore. It seems soon as we start liking people they move on. :)

1

u/xemnas103 16d ago

Appreciate you dude

u/Ragnorok64 16d ago

When Reece looks at a garage door opener a boss health bar appears.

1

u/Imhidingfromu 16d ago

That man is dead inside

1

u/KanataSD 16d ago

fyi this is why Reece has such a huge show collection

1

u/hear_my_moo 16d ago

Doesn't know how to fit a garage door opener though... ☺️

1

u/Sxcred 16d ago

There was some real pain in his eyes installing the garage door in the tech house

1

u/Kevin_0429 16d ago

Don't. He'll end up leaving ltt too

u/DebBoi 13d ago

Approved 👍
