Linus Tech Tips (LTT): Members Only Videos are a HUGE Problem on YouTube

Summary

Linus Sebastian calls out YouTube’s members-only videos for cluttering feeds and search results with content most viewers can’t even watch, and complains that creators have zero control over how or where these bonus clips get promoted. He walks through how things went off the rails, why YouTube seems completely unbothered by the mess, and how it’s prompting headaches for both fans and channels.

In the end, Linus shares what Linus Media Group is doing to fight back—redirecting discussions to their forum, tweaking their own upload strategies, and leaning on community feedback—while poking fun at the whole situation and reminding viewers there’s more details (and merch) waiting if you dig deeper.
