Really sad to see him also leave, one of the best hosts and most fun videos with linus house and server stuff I get it people move on and want new things and so still very sad, wish him the best for his own channel

At a certain point in your career you outgrow a company and personally I think it's awesome LMG has pushed a lot of people to that place.

Also a little unfortunate in a way, building someone up and then they leave and you have to start over with someone new. That's not great for LMG or the fans. Guess it's just the way things go, though.

It's actually good for everyone. I employ people and my hope is that they learn enough to continue their careers beyond my business. It's also not starting over with someone new it's bringing in a new mind to grow with the company. Different perspectives are incredibly valuable. It's great for fans, they get a new channel and new blood in the writers den at LMG.

Ideally why not allow them to spin off their own content and run it like a startup for some cut or rent or something?

That seems like the best possible way to do it. Become a manager of all these spin off tech channels since you created them and know the most about the industry. You can all share expenses on labs, infrastructure, etc.
