[843.50 --> 850.90] And there's a – even, like, someone, like, just arrived from China and bring his luggage
[850.90 --> 853.18] and his mom to the event.
[853.92 --> 855.26] Like, two big luggage.
[855.38 --> 855.54] I didn't see that guy.
[855.62 --> 855.88] Really?
[855.88 --> 858.50] Yeah, I have to help them to, like, store the luggage.
[858.92 --> 862.04] So, I even think, like, we might need a locker for them next year.
[862.46 --> 862.90] Wow.
[864.16 --> 865.62] That's crazy.
[865.94 --> 867.86] Like, 10, 12 hours flight.
[868.06 --> 868.88] Anyway, yes.
[868.88 --> 873.28] No, we do not plan to offer refunds because we consider the event a success now.
[873.36 --> 873.88] I think it was fun.
[873.98 --> 876.30] We actually got a ton of really positive user feedback.
[876.78 --> 883.76] In fact, Marques tweeted about how he really wasn't happy with a Verge article
[883.76 --> 888.68] that was about another YouTuber convention that was poorly organized and a disaster.
[888.84 --> 892.44] And he kind of goes, yo, where's the positive headline for LTX?
[892.46 --> 893.88] I've heard nothing but positive things.
[894.22 --> 898.04] And that's cool because a lot of the time people will say something positive to your face.
[898.04 --> 902.08] Like, if I walk up to someone, I'm like, hey, how are you enjoying LTX?
[902.40 --> 904.20] It's like when the waiter comes to your table.
[904.30 --> 906.90] Like, if your food sucks, do you ever say, yeah, this food is trash?
[907.34 --> 908.40] You're not getting a tip today?
[909.02 --> 909.38] Like...
[909.38 --> 912.98] Uh, I just...
[912.98 --> 913.00] I just...
[913.00 --> 913.44] I just...
[913.44 --> 913.84] Depends.
[914.04 --> 916.42] What if it's just, like, on the low side of mediocre?
[917.54 --> 918.52] If they come along...
[918.52 --> 919.82] How's everything going with your meal?
[920.48 --> 921.16] It's okay.
[921.84 --> 922.02] Yeah.
[922.02 --> 922.54] It's okay.
[922.72 --> 922.98] So, there.
[923.06 --> 924.02] That's not useful.
[924.02 --> 928.02] So, if I walk up to someone, I'm like, hey, how's the...
[928.02 --> 929.04] How's LTX?
[929.10 --> 930.34] And people are like, oh, yeah, it's good.
[930.90 --> 934.88] I have no way if they're just, like, shy and they think it's good.
[935.18 --> 939.76] Or if they're, like, kind of unhappy and they're like, yeah, it's good.
[941.02 --> 941.76] Because I don't know.
[941.82 --> 943.36] I'm meeting all these people for the first time.
[943.44 --> 944.00] I can't really...
[944.00 --> 944.90] I can't really read them.
[945.04 --> 948.46] So, it's way more important to us to hear what other people say.
[948.52 --> 951.48] Now, I actually haven't done it yet.
[951.48 --> 953.58] I need to set aside an hour for myself.
[954.36 --> 955.54] And Jay made a video.
[956.40 --> 957.40] Barnacles made a video.
[957.98 --> 959.50] And Steve from Gamers Nexus.
[959.86 --> 960.32] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[960.32 --> 961.90] He did a really unusual video.
[961.98 --> 962.54] Did you check it out?
[962.56 --> 963.48] I haven't seen any of those videos.
[963.48 --> 965.66] So, I only skimmed a little bit of it so far.
[965.74 --> 968.10] So, I haven't taken away all of my thoughts from it yet.
[968.62 --> 975.46] But Steve used the opportunity of coming up here for LTX to enjoy my city, my hometown.
[976.06 --> 980.20] He went up to the bike trails up on Whistler and he did some downhill biking.
[980.38 --> 980.86] Oh, I saw that.
[980.86 --> 984.64] And recorded his thoughts on LTX while just like cruising down the trails.
[985.14 --> 986.44] I thought that was really cool.
[986.46 --> 989.10] And that's a really unusual thing for him to do.
[989.16 --> 995.04] And he even said he apologizes for making the video right in the description.
[995.82 --> 996.06] Really?
[996.20 --> 999.34] Yeah, because he just wasn't sure people were going to like it.
[1000.74 --> 1001.86] I saw that, but...
[1002.38 --> 1003.34] Here, let's check this out.
[1003.60 --> 1007.62] Reviewing Linus Tech Tips' LTX while downhill biking at Whistler.
[1007.62 --> 1010.24] Here, what's he say?
[1011.60 --> 1015.16] We'll be posting more serious content from the event later, including an interview.
[1015.62 --> 1017.00] Oh, no.
[1017.14 --> 1018.58] I think he took down the apology.
[1018.80 --> 1019.00] Oh, no.
[1019.04 --> 1019.38] There it is.
[1019.42 --> 1020.04] No, it was a comment.
[1020.18 --> 1021.46] He pinned his own comment.
[1021.96 --> 1022.38] Hey, y'all.
[1022.38 --> 1024.56] Obviously not normal content for us.
[1024.62 --> 1026.48] We've had nonstop travel for a few months.
[1026.66 --> 1030.72] We hope you'll excuse this one-off different content piece for now.
[1030.72 --> 1040.96] So, I thought it was really cool to see people come up here, experience something different, engage with the community, and do something different.
[1040.96 --> 1042.82] Not just make normal convention content.
[1042.94 --> 1046.46] Because we're not trying to be Computex or CES.
[1047.14 --> 1048.60] It's supposed to be...
[1048.60 --> 1050.12] It's supposed to fill a gap.
[1050.52 --> 1054.98] And honestly, this year, even though our attendance only went from about 800 to about 1,200.
[1054.98 --> 1057.66] So, it's like a 50% uptake, which is a success.
[1057.92 --> 1058.00] Yeah.
[1058.44 --> 1059.90] But it's still not huge.
[1060.00 --> 1061.80] It's not like we're packs all of a sudden.
[1062.96 --> 1078.68] I think the difference in creator attendance is what is the difference between LTX 2017 being like a Linus Tech Tips fan meetup and LTX 2018 being a more impactful industry event.
[1078.68 --> 1088.18] The fact that you've got guys like Jay and Steve and Louis Rossman was there for a little while and Barnacles showing up and having a good time.
[1088.68 --> 1093.68] Barnacles emailed me after the fact and said that he had a really hard time making a vlog there.
[1094.12 --> 1094.30] Yeah.
[1094.44 --> 1098.70] And the reason was that he was spending so much of his time interacting with fans.
[1098.72 --> 1099.30] I know, yeah.
[1099.30 --> 1116.00] And all three, Steve, I haven't actually talked to Louis yet, but Steve, Barnacles, and Jay all talked to me and said they were surprised at how many people there were fans of their channels because they kind of came into it.
[1116.08 --> 1117.90] Like, they came into it to support us.
[1118.00 --> 1119.68] Like, we asked them really nicely to come.
