Linus Tech Tips Update 2014 - Over $5000 of Giveaways and We're Hiring!

Linus Tech Tips kicks off 2014 with a bold update focusing on community growth, new hiring opportunities, and a monumental worldwide giveaway. The video opens by recounting 2013 as a successful year as an independent company and immediately pivots to the year ahead, outlining multiple hiring needs that span scripting, editing, on-camera talent, and camera operation. Linus stresses that positions are paid but cautions that as a small operation, starting wages are modest, and emphasizes the opportunity for either part-time or full-time roles, with emphasis on candidates from the Vancouver region though the team still invites interested applicants to review the full details via the description links. The segment then dives into the giveaway, highlighting a comprehensive prize package that includes a Core i5 based crate computer setup, a GTX 780, a 27 inch monitor, a 500 GB Corsair SSD, and 16 GB of RAM, with entry mechanics that involve subscribing to Techquickie, commenting on a linked video, and encouraging social media sharing to unlock referral entries for additional prizes. Linus also unveils a reward scheme for influencers who share the video, where both the referrer and the influencer can win high-end hardware such as a GTX Titan and a Sony Ultrabook. The third major thread centers on community donations, describing an automated system that channels most contributions directly to Linus Tech Tips, with PayPal taking a small processing cut, and makes clear that all support goes toward sustaining and expanding content creation, while stressing the option to participate is entirely voluntary. The update closes with progress on the Linus Tech Tips conglomerate within Star Citizen, noting rapid growth in membership and activity, inviting both casual and hardcore players to join the discussion on the forum, and calling for continued support to reach top ranks while thanking viewers for ongoing support in 2014.
