[4989.22 --> 4996.22] Not like actually the stuff from the match, which I think actually helped it be watchable by people that aren't super interested in Dota 2. |
[4996.22 --> 5000.22] I would have not, I would have been able to follow it just fine if there was more footage from the matches. |
[5000.22 --> 5001.22] Right. |
[5001.22 --> 5002.22] Because I understand Dota 2. |
[5002.22 --> 5003.22] But not everyone can. |
[5003.22 --> 5005.22] And being able to show it to my mom, that helps a lot. |
[5005.22 --> 5006.22] Right. |
[5006.22 --> 5009.22] Um, and like having one-on-one interviews with relatives. |
[5009.22 --> 5010.22] Right. |
[5010.22 --> 5013.22] Was really interesting of the players and stuff like that. |
[5013.22 --> 5018.22] Like going heavily into their backstories because it's a really difficult thing to get into. |
[5018.22 --> 5020.22] It's incredibly difficult to get into. |
[5020.22 --> 5023.22] And they bring up the thing where like you're not going to be a pro gamer beyond 29. |
[5023.22 --> 5024.22] Right. |
[5024.22 --> 5027.22] Because your reaction time is going to be too low. |
[5027.22 --> 5032.22] And like the main thing people usually think about that in is stuff like Counter-Strike, but that applies to pretty much everything. |
[5032.22 --> 5035.22] And of course there's exceptions to the rule, but there's not very many. |
[5035.22 --> 5036.22] Right. |
[5036.22 --> 5038.22] Well just like Timo Solani is still playing hockey. |
[5038.22 --> 5039.22] Yeah. |
[5039.22 --> 5040.22] The guy's like 42. |
[5040.22 --> 5041.22] Like there's exceptions. |
[5041.22 --> 5043.22] But like one guy. |
[5043.22 --> 5044.22] Yeah. |
[5044.22 --> 5045.22] Yeah. |
[5045.22 --> 5046.22] That's it. |
[5046.22 --> 5049.22] It's interesting the stuff they bring up and it's, it's honestly, it's a great documentary. |
[5049.22 --> 5053.22] I've got a few people upset that I would tell my son, no you're not going to be a pro gamer. |
[5053.22 --> 5058.22] Um, well I would also tell my son, no you're not going to be a professional football player. |
[5058.22 --> 5062.22] Because in the real world, you're probably not. |
[5062.22 --> 5069.22] If he's willing to fight through the adversity of me telling him he's an idiot for trying, then he stands a chance. |
[5069.22 --> 5072.22] If he's going to be his son, he's going to have to fight through that kind of stuff. |
[5072.22 --> 5073.22] Yeah. |
[5073.22 --> 5074.22] So I don't know. |
[5074.22 --> 5079.22] And honestly, like is that, uh, is that, you know, a correct parenting tactic? |
[5079.22 --> 5080.22] Oh, I don't know. |
[5080.22 --> 5081.22] Probably not. |
[5081.22 --> 5082.22] I don't care. |
[5082.22 --> 5097.22] The reality of it is if you're not willing to, you know, if you're not willing to fight for something that you believe in and you're not passionate about, passionate enough about to get past, you know, your, your, your parents not caring about it, you will not succeed anyway. |
[5097.22 --> 5098.22] I'm sorry. |
[5098.22 --> 5099.22] No, it's true. |
[5099.22 --> 5100.22] Uh, that's very true. |
[5100.22 --> 5101.22] And they cover that in the documentary. |
[5101.22 --> 5104.22] They show how much crap these guys have to go through. |
[5104.22 --> 5108.22] And trust me, even the people that they didn't cover were going through that stuff. |
[5108.22 --> 5112.22] Um, no one's parents are going to go, this is a very good career move. |
[5112.22 --> 5115.22] Don't go to school, play games all day, you'll be successful. |
[5115.22 --> 5117.22] I don't see anyone's parents really doing that. |
[5117.22 --> 5122.22] I can see parents going my mom and dad's route, which was pursue other things. |
[5122.22 --> 5123.22] Yeah. |
[5123.22 --> 5126.22] But if you want to do this as much as you want in your free time, go ahead. |
[5126.22 --> 5128.22] And they'll support me with that. |
[5128.22 --> 5129.22] That was fantastic. |
[5129.22 --> 5131.22] My parents did, in my opinion, a very good job. |
[5131.22 --> 5132.22] Right. |
[5132.22 --> 5133.22] I appreciate that a lot. |
[5133.22 --> 5141.22] Um, but they also were kind of pushing like, make sure, and this is something I really appreciated too, and I still apply, is don't necessarily lock yourself in with one thing. |
[5141.22 --> 5142.22] You need to have an exit strategy. |
[5142.22 --> 5143.22] Always have an exit strategy. |
[5143.22 --> 5144.22] That's incredibly important. |
[5144.22 --> 5145.22] Yeah. |
[5145.22 --> 5149.22] I had someone else ask, um, well, Linus, would you tell your kid not to be a tech YouTuber? |
[5149.22 --> 5150.22] Absolutely. |
[5150.22 --> 5151.22] What are the odds? |
[5151.22 --> 5153.22] Like, what are the odds of success? |
[5153.22 --> 5162.22] If you're not counting anything, the odds of success being a professional tech YouTuber are probably lower than the odds of being a pro gamer at some level. |
[5162.22 --> 5165.22] Who is actually making a full-time job out of being a tech YouTuber? |
[5165.22 --> 5166.22] There's not very many. |
[5166.22 --> 5177.22] Like, I can count them on one hand, probably. Like, who is actually full-time? Logan? Me? Marcus? Austin? Elric? |
[5177.22 --> 5179.22] You're not counting the team component, though. |
[5179.22 --> 5195.22] I'm not counting? Okay, I'm not counting the team component. Okay, okay, so fine. I could probably count like the lead guys that are like running tech YouTuber companies. Maybe on both hands. Because there's Detroit Borg. I don't know if he does it full-time. And there's like some other guys. But... |
[5195.22 --> 5208.22] Lou from Unbox Therapy is another one. So even looking at like a collab that he's planning, a lot of the guys participating are like still students and stuff. Like they're not actually trying to turn this into a viable business yet even. I mean, even Marcus is still a student. |
[5208.22 --> 5217.22] Yeah. And like he's making enough money that he could go full-time if he felt like it. But he's not even... He's one of the most successful ones out there. But he's doing... |
[5217.22 --> 5223.22] And he's not even banking on it. And he's doing the backup strategy thing. The answer strategy thing. That's right. Where if it fails, there's an option. That's right. I think that's a really good point. |
[5223.22 --> 5238.22] And I mean, people would ask me this all the time before I went... Before I went independent. And people would say, oh, I want to be a tech YouTuber just like you. And I'd say, I'm not a tech YouTuber. I have a real job. I'm a product manager. That's an actual job. |
[5238.22 --> 5264.22] I do this tech YouTube thing because it's like super fun and it's exciting and I really enjoy it and I'm passionate about it. And that is my point. My parents don't have a bloody idea what I do. They have no idea. They have never once bought a video game or a piece of... Okay, no. No. They did. T... |
[5264.22 --> 5269.72] They've never actually bought me a piece of computer hardware. I want to be real clear about that. |
[5269.74 --> 5270.88] My parents have. My parents did. |
[5271.42 --> 5284.84] The closest I got was my uncle upgraded his computer and I built his new computer for him. And he gave me his old computer as like an attaboy. And this was a Pentium 1 166 megahertz when Pentium 4s were on the market. |
[5285.64 --> 5286.66] To be clear. |
[5286.66 --> 5299.84] When I pieced out my first computer, I paid for it all. But when I pieced it out, my dad and I went to go pick it up and the sales guy was like, do you have a monitor? And I was just like, uh, no. |
[5300.08 --> 5312.66] Chrome Monkey is bringing up some people who are not entirely YouTubers. Ryan Shrout is not a YouTuber. Like he does YouTube videos. And you can tell him I said that. Quote Linus. Out of context. Ryan Shrout is not a YouTuber. |
[5312.66 --> 5323.30] But he runs PCPer. PCPer.com is his bread and butter. That's like a website. That's web journalism as opposed to, dad, I want to be a tech YouTuber. |
[5323.54 --> 5326.66] It's more than two hands. But he's using a... |
[5327.34 --> 5328.20] What? |
[5328.50 --> 5329.80] There's more than two hands. |
[5329.86 --> 5335.96] Okay, yeah. Okay, fine. There's more than however many hands worth. But the ones doing it strictly on YouTube? I don't know. |
[5335.96 --> 5340.12] Well, if you include, like, are you talking about just PC hardware? |
[5341.20 --> 5342.44] Because tech YouTubers are slim. |
[5342.44 --> 5344.28] Okay, tech YouTubers, yeah, there's probably tons of them. |
[5344.46 --> 5344.62] Yeah. |
[5344.94 --> 5351.56] Even then, the odds are slim and I wouldn't be a big fan of it if he was like, yeah, that's my master plan. I'm going to be like a tech YouTuber. |
[5351.78 --> 5352.62] I'd be like, ugh. |
[5353.66 --> 5355.32] You've got to have a real plan first. |
[5355.32 --> 5370.40] Like, have a plan for a 9 to 5 and then if you, like, make it. It's kind of like professional athletes. You know what? The vast majority of them go to school and participate in school athletics and then make it. |
[5370.48 --> 5374.16] That's something, too. It's like, I've... My brother does StarCraft casting locally, right? |
[5374.20 --> 5374.30] Yeah. |
[5374.30 --> 5383.70] So I've talked to some of the guys locally that are really good. One of them, who's, like, an awesome dude, Fire Zerg. I follow him around a little bit. He's actually really good. |
[5383.84 --> 5383.98] Yeah. |
[5384.40 --> 5388.62] And, like, a few of the other guys that they hang out with and stuff, they go to this UBC StarCraft club. |
