Create your build at buildredux.com Running a tech YouTube channel is no easy task, especially when you have to cover things like AMD CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, Computer Cases, Hard Drives, oh yeah, and making custom merch, like screwdrivers and backpacks and running a streaming website, oh yeah, and then I need people to clean the building because I don't have time... and who will help me move? Or build my house? Or find sponsors for me to tell you about? Oh, man... this is getting out of hand.

The video Why do I have 80 Staff? presents a playful, behind-the-scenes tour of Linus Tech Tips’ expanding team by introducing a wide range of staff roles and departments. It frames growing payroll and personnel as both a logistical challenge and a humorous institution, showing how production demands ripple through every corner of the operation. We see writers coordinating across multiple channels, production and logistics teams managing equipment and space, and editors and camera crews keeping content moving. The hosts engage in light banter about probation periods, blurred faces, and the sheer scale of the staff, while highlighting how each role contributes to output quality and reliability. The piece blends documentary-style glimpses with on-camera humor, illustrating that the illusion of a single cohesive channel rests on a sprawling, well-oiled machine. The overarching takeaway is that behind every polished video there is a complex network of people, processes, and procurement that makes the content possible.
