We've slightly extended the window for ordering Premium Edition copies of Too Long - so presuming they're still on the store when you visit you're all good to place an order
LOL. We believe this not. Any news with a wide reach is funded directly or indirectly by the establishment. All news channels might start independent but will eventually be bought or forced to tow the line. You are no different.
Maybe there a better method to subscribe directly on UA-cam, as you have join buttons on your various channels, but to me, it does not make sense to subscribe to just one. It'll be easier if there was just one channel with all the videos. Or do a pateron.
I understand the need for ads on UA-cam. I just wish there were a way where you could put them so the ad doesn't come on right in the middle of a sentence. Perhaps you could have a little splashscreen saying you'll be right back just like they do for some tv shows.
As they've said it's really difficult to keep this up. The system they exist in is causing such journalism to die out, it's not just personal decisions. Either the system has to fundamentally change or alternatively there at least need to be select news shows - like government funded ones - that can do that without being part of the system.
@@TheLuuuuuc It's because we have a lot of new news sources due to the internet, but the old ones still exist and are only now shrinking. The market is over-saturated. In other words, the market has yet to stabilize, and talking about fundamental change may be premature.
Yep, especially newspaper media. I'm finding it tough to look through the pages these days, unless I hold them up directly to the sun, and even then I can just barely make out some silhouettes. We need transparent media like TLDR. (I watch them via projector on my window)
that's one thing that I noticed missing from this is the patreon, it must have been bundled in the "others" section as it was so little that it's not noteworthy.
@@SkashTheKitsune .... dude you are a pure soul. this video is highly manipulation. they want to get your money. and they wana show how tight everything is. but patreon is where the money is. and that point they skip. believe me they get a shit ton of money. but thats the big laughing point of you tube. a bunch of millionairs beg for money from ordaniary people. and call it support or patreon. and then sell your soul to the advertisment. understand you get news and they get money and the advertisment industry gets your soul :)
5:49 this has got to be your best worst spelling ever. Bless you, oh chaotic bastard, who KNEW you didn't know how to spell 'miscellaneous' and just took a wild swing at it anyway
Very interesting. Bit sad that a news company being open about their finances is unusual. I also like your policy of paying all your staff. Keep it up guys. What you do is important.
Hmmm. It's VERY easy to look up actual annual reports and usually only takes a few seconds. Claiming that (most) other news companies are not open about their finances feels like a very cheap shot.... Fun fact. TL;DR doesn't give a link to their report, nor past reports. While not all companies link their reports, some do link it in easy to find places on their website. Plus, speaking as an accountant. This 'annual report' is actually quite lacking and missing A LOT .... Few examples: 1- No actual link to the report. And no annual report on their official website either. If you claim to be open, then actually BE open ;) 2- The ONLY mention of anything balance sheet related is that they don't have loans. Where is the rest of the balance sheet? 3- They spend 110k pounds for office space. Spending is not the same as costs. So .... do they spend 110k pounds? Or does it cost 110k pounds? That's a very big difference. To put it easy, when you buy a desk for 1.000 pounds, You spend 1k pounds. In terms of a financial report, you will spread those 1k pounds over several years, severely reducing the yearly costs. 4- They gave us the UA-cam ad revenue, but then proceeded to ignore the UA-cam premium revenue. Which slice is YT-premium? And which slice is Patreon? They did mention they got money from it. But how much was this?? All in all, this report is rather vague, really skimming the basics. And using incorrect financial terms.
Pretty sure I remember another youtuber saying that they can tell UA-cam where to run ads in the video, genuinely wouldn't be surprised it that was absolutely intentional on their part.
Thanks so much for explaining this. Very few viewers realise the complexity of earning revenue online. I don’t most people realise how much time, effort and expense goes into making videos. Taking a few one at to watching an ad is a small price to pay for otherwise free content.
honestly, i was starting to resent the channel a bit due to increased ad space, but I now see that it is mostly to provide livable wages to your staff. Thank you so much for being transparent, and letting me be a more informed subscriber.
Nice to see a UA-cam channel being open and honest. I’m sure a good chunk of people just think “loads of subscribers = loads of money” Glad to see you’re sticking to your morals and ethics
Thank you for all your contributions to independant journalism! Wish I could support this project more. The merch sounds like a great idea, would definitely like a tldr tote bag.
For any company which is publicly-traded (offer stocks or shares in them) you will find how they're funded in their filings Similarly, charities have to report their income sources and expenditure yearly too They're not totally unique in this 🤨
I can honestly say that TLDR has changed my life. As a teen I'd always had one eye on politics but never strayed too far in that direction, now, as a 21 year old, I'm getting much more into it. TLDR doesn't only produce good content that got me more interested, it also acted as a catalyst for me to find other political podcasts and news sources, which is vital to exploring a problem-space as large and deviceive as politics. Thank you for all that you do. P.S. Would love to see more TLDR podcasts answering questions, and responding to feedback from the audience.
Do be aware of their biases, if the Tories were still in power they'd have had a video up about the infighting and disarray caused by the two child policy vote.
@@SaintGerbilUK Let's talk about your biases. You've left at least two comments on this video making accusations about biases, so let's see what you have to say for yourself.
@SaintGerbilUK . I like TLDR as they seem unbiased. Let's say they are biased. Do you as someone on the right know of any right leaning channels but to the same extent?
I've been following TLDR News since it was just Jack and a single channel with 10k subscribers. I am happy to have stuck so far, and I trust your journalism more than any other. You guys make some mistakes here and there, but keep improving all the time.
This is just for anyone who's not used to analysing businesses. If the business owner is taking a wage of 50K and the business' profit is 0. It doesn't matter whether the business is profitable because the owner's wages make the business unprofitable. Usually, an owner will adjust their wages every year to maximise tax efficiency so that they pay the least amount of tax possible. Now this isn't me accusing TLDR of doing this but it is a very valid note that if the owner's wages are included there, those are most likely variable right now or will be variable in the future, unlike a normal employee whose wages are fixed year to year.
Huge respect to you for doing this. To be honest should be promoted as a must-watch for anyone interested in the economics of UA-cam, even if not interested in politics.
Just wow, what a great news outlet and channel TLDR is. I normally don't comment on UA-cam, but I had to share my appreciation to your ethics,impartialism and transparency.
I am a premium UA-cam subscriber, and it is the best money I have ever spent. Glad to see creators get a little more than if I was not. I also get You tube music for the subscription, which I use instead of Spotify.
Agreed, not having to watch ads while still being able to support the videos i watch is great and i know in the past premium used to give a little less then ads so knowing it's more now is good to know.
This video has me feeling the same way. I never knew YT Premium was that good for creators It's getting to the point where I use YT more than Nebula, which is crazy cause I actually like the concept of Nebula
Honestly I love you guys. You are my main sources of news and I know that you guys actually care about how you research and tell the new. Tysm for your work!
You guys are absolutely fantastic, I can’t miss a video on any of your channels. This level of transparency and honesty is next level. Thanks for everything, truly incredible organization
Really appreciate this transparency. I'm amazed how you can create such high-quality content despite other news outlets having bigger budgets to work with. Keep up the great work!
5:49 a bit more budget allocation needed for 'misculanious' spellchecking, a frequent thing in your videos! That aside, love your channels, keep up the good work
Huge respect to TLDR for doing this, don’t think I’ve ever seen this kinda of transparency from any news organisation. I think we need to see these kind of values across so many industries going into the future.
This sort of transparency with TLDR and the viewer is why I gain my news information from TLDR, being largely unbiased, transparent and giving the necessary context to understand, i am happy with the adverts and sponsorships TLDR incorporates as it funds a very healthy and integral business, well done guys!

So much respect for this channel. This is how news should be, as independent as possible. But I can see the future algorythms and platforms being more and more censoring, as control start becoming their priority. Big tech
One of the most informative and transparent vids I've seen on UA-cam, certainly an insight to social media workings, and why some channels behave the way they do. Money is tight but considering a Too Long subscription on the base of this vid. Thanks for the refreshing view.
This is why I love TLDR so so much. For one they aren’t steaming about how much they’re point of view is right and are actually unbiased but also seem like genuinely good people who are focused on what they make rather than money. I’m willing to put up with any ads and sponsors so I can get this bangin unbiased informative content. I may still be a lil lad and can’t afford shit but thank you TLDR for doing all that you do
950K a year? Wow. I genuinely expected a lot more for such a prominent set of channels. Anyhow. Kudos and keep going. Wishing growth and further success. Kind regards, another Premium subscriber. 😊
Really appreciate your daily content, recaps, etc. you all are a fantastic, neutral, and observant group which goes into detail on topics not discussed in our media here in America
And like that my long held suspicions of the channel becoming my faourite news source has manifested to be true. I must commend the integrity on display and offer my congratulations on breaking even!
Thank you for this excellent video. It is so rare for anyone to be so up front about costs and revenue, and it says much about the ethos of TLDR (Still not sure what the intials refer to). I always appreciate the very clearly narrated, punchy to the point, well scripted delivery and well turned out and presentable presenters, it helps when staring at a vid for 10 mins at a time. I continue to recommend your channel widely. If I want to know something topical I know where to go. Well done all.
Bought a physical subscription to Too Long yesterday ... I just don't care much for newspapers or traditional news outlets nowadays, and I tend to watch something from TLDR each lunch time. So figure I may as well give the magazine a go.
Absolutely incredible. The level of transparency here is wonderful. I'm so glad I found this channel years ago. TLDR, your content and ethics have made you my video news media of choice for "Too Long" (lol). Keep up the great work. I wish your organization nothing but the best into the future!

This is great - real transparency. Well done. I've watched TLDR probably since it began on UA-cam. If It's where I come for impartial-as-possible facts when I'm tired of the mainstream narrative and the silly dramatisation of events. I feel like this is basic (but very important) resource is something the BBC should be doing. But they're not, and I'm so glad somebody is. Thank you.

I started watching TLDR a few months ago, and I gotta say, I really love it.
This is great - real transparency. Well done. I've watched TLDR probably since it began on UA-cam. If It's where I come for impartial-as-possible facts when I'm tired of the mainstream narrative and the silly dramatisation of events. I feel like this is basic (but very important) resource is something the BBC should be doing. But they're not, and I'm so glad somebody is. Thank you.
I genuinely hope you guys keep growing, within 5 years I do think you’ll be HUGEEE
I appreciate the openness and transparency.
Just bought my copy! Thanks so much guys for all your hard work
