I quit Linus Tech Tips.

Yesterday was my last day at Linus Media Group. It's the end of one chapter in my life, and the start of another.

Thanks for all the memories, Taran. It'll never be the same here without you, but I'm so excited to see what the next chapter holds for you :') - LS

For a man that likes his privacy, this was one hell of an honest story. Thank you Taran for everything. I wish you and your significant other the best.

This probably won’t get seen much, but Taran helped me out with a dissertation last year. I asked the man a few questions about editing and he sent basically an entire essay’s worth of answers back - and in part thanks to him, I passed with first class honours. Thank you Taran.

Bruh the workculture is open and the leaving employee talks about his future plans, and that’s something I can truly admire

[Jakobe_Beef]

If leaving employees are able to open up about their next steps in front of everyone, it's really clear how good a working culture they built at LTT. Wishing you best of luck!

[TaranVH]

Thanks for your comments, everyone. :')

[DawidDoesTechStuff]

Wow! You have been such a huge part of LTT for what seems like forever now. Good luck with your future endeavours and congratulations on your engagement. :D

[Nethezbet]

I never know what to expect with "I quit" videos, but I am really glad I watched this one. Awesome story.

[EposVox]

What a way to go! Looking forward to your future videos. Good luck with the move and the wedding!

[kaitoraichu]

It really makes me so sad every time someone from the original LTT staff leaves, but I'm also very happy for them, going out and doing new things, and I wish them all the best. Best of luck Taran! You got this!

[KrGmer]

it takes courage to share a story like that, but it takes even more to not to give up on the most trying times. good luck on your journey and congratulations for everything.

[matthazle]

It is incredibly strong for someone to admit their past struggles and poverty in front of their coworkers/peers. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to succeed in life.

What was supposed to look like the crappiest gift ever turned out to be the most meaningful gift you could have ever given. Cheers, Taran

[AntVenom]

Thanks for being a driving force in how much I enjoy being a macro/ tech nerd. I’ve always enjoyed what you’ve brought to LMG, and I’m super excited to see what’s next for you!

[ChrisTitusTech]

Good luck man. The toilet paper story really hit home. I moved far away from my home when I was younger and instead of stealing toilet paper, I'd just "clean out" the fridge at my work because I couldn't afford food.
I actually look back at those times and am thankful for them because it makes me appreciate life that much more today. Can't wait to see what you do with your channel over here, even though I'm a final cut pro editor hehe.

[thim]

you can tell Linus is a lovely and caring guy. It makes me appreciate the channel even more.

[SolaireFlair]

This is the end of a fucking Era, holy shit. Taran was one of the employees I thought would be there at least until Linus retired. Good luck in your future endeavors, Taran. The LTT family and all us fans will be watching your successes.

[RebakaChan]

Congratulations Taran! What an incredible story. I look forward to seeing you thrive here on YouTube! May the Future be bright!

[DonnyStanley]

I never thought I'd be this emotional over a toilet paper story.

Congratulations and best of luck Taran. You're definitely a big part of why LTT has been so successful. I've no doubt you will be missed.

BTW Taran, we don't know each other but my first year at CES I had the pleasure of being at a party the LTT staff were attending and I will never forget how you dance like no one is watching. Truly a free spirit.

Just donated 20$ to my local foodbank. Thank you for using this as a way to get a message out to help others.
