They have approximately now lost over 5000 subscribers which equates to about $25000 per month or $300000 per year in lost revenue.

    As a bystander just here for the popcorn and drama, would someone mind explaining what Floatplane is and how it pertains to LTT and LMG?

      It’s like a subscription based YouTube replacement. Like nebula or something. But mostly it’s just LTT that has content there.

      Floatplane is the video hosting service that they created and own. Instead of being ad supported it requires a monthly fee for each content creator on it (in the vein of only fans or patreon). So a loss of subs is a direct loss of monthly income for LTT.

      I believe it’s their website/platform, where they post exclusive content that only subscribers can view
