Video for those interested: [VIDEO] Actually a pretty good telling of a story all too common for those tasked with handling precious data.

Sebastian and Linus Media Group seem to be pretty frank and open about a lot of this: see for instance [LINK] on putting up gurning thumbnails and navigating the YT algorithm (and that whole playlist, including a revenue breakdown [LINK] ), the Gamers Nexus video on LTT's production process [LINK] and the coverage LTT regularly lavishes on its own production setup and process, from a nearly-12m video about the awkwardness of ingesting video from their new 12K cameras [LINK] to seemingly quite genuine fly-on-the-wall coverage of temporarily losing their data to a RAID failure [VIDEO] . Obviously you always have to take anyone's self-presentation with a grain of salt. But they're certainly not hiding the fact that there's a more grounded reality behind the "on" personas.

I'm not sure if you're referring to [VIDEO] ("All of our data is gone"), but in any case, I've heard references to ZFS in later videos so yeah, the situation's probably not quite that insane now. That video is technically hilarious though, it TL;DRs as "download Ubuntu-based USB image provided random RAID recovery company, boot USB and provide said company headless SSH to broken system"... at one point in the video I remember Linus talks to another recovery company about the process and the guy pretty much went "...O.o..." which IMO sums my own opinion up, lol
