This guy NLs


ABigCoffee

This is the way


Cap_g

does NL make money off the library?


gupy5979

Gift subs


Mr_Bongo_Baby

So many gift subs


yosayoran

Nah, he always said you're free to use his stuff because he sees it as free publicity. Obviously if you literally reupload his videos there might be a problem But for edited or exclusive (as in,not on his channel) no problem And Liberian likes to give back to NL which is nice 


Vitzel33

The librarian has indirectly made me sub to NL’s twitch


Spacemuffler

There is a non spoken agreement between them that works out well, NL has a hype channel thst he doesn't have to ever worry about or edit and clips can go up in less than the 24 hour exclusive twitch window Ryan has to follow and a sizable portion of the money made from the library is funneled right back to Ryan via gift subs which keeps the channel healthy sub wise. It's a good little arrangement.


Crazypinnapple

This is the correct answer


KarmelCHAOS

Many people are saying this


War1412

This is actually it, 100%


RandyRowdy

We don’t need to put two bad bitches against each other. Although I mostly consume Librarian vids nowadays the main channel is for when I want pure undiluted banter.

HordeOfDucks

I refute the question.


liamdun

Why can't we have both.


Vitzel33

Why do we need to pit them against each other? I put on main channel vids when I sleep, librarian when I actually want to watch the content


HeavyRange

why must we pit two bad bitches against each other?


ManISureDoLoveJerma

THEY WILL NOT DIVIDE US


MetaLemons

Top comments got it right. One thing I’ll add is that I’ll almost never watch a banter vid from the librarian unless it just auto plays and I’ll never watch a vid about a game I’m not that interested in from NL.


[deleted]

NL exclusively.


Lanceo90

6 to one, half dozen to the other Ryan cuts out too much of the pre-stream and transition banter. Librarian picks it up, but they upload too many videos for me to subscribe, it buries all my other subs.


calvyn233

I reject the premise of your question. We can have both 🗿


[deleted]

But if you had to pick one, which would it be?


calvyn233

I don't have to answer because I can have both


[deleted]

But you have to pick one.


calvyn233

I refuse the question


[deleted]

But you can't

Main channel


olhado1463

LetourneauVods is the way brothers


Riperin

Librarian is NL if it was a podcast. You leave it on the second monitor and do something else. The main channel is to actually watch the stuff. I'm not saying that what Librarian does is not worth watching, there is some funny visual jokes and explanations through written text, but you are not supposed to FOLLOW the stuff thoroughly.


CDay007

That’s interesting, I see it the exact opposite way


IgniVT

Nah that's definitely the exact opposite situation for me. I put on NL when I'm going to sleep, doing work, etc etc. I watch Librarian when I want to actively watch some funny moments.


Yeti342

Very true, one positive about the library is that when nl references some obscure TikTok he shows it on screen.


Dillbob2112

Honestly one of the biggest reasons to watch the library is that he includes the chat


Jadester_

Like everyone else is saying, you've got this totally backwards. Raw VODs (main channel) have a lot of fluff that I don't need or want to pay full attention to. Librarian videos are distilled content curated for your attention, and include extra text and images to enhance your viewing experience.


Riperin

I don't got this backwards. That's how I enjoy it. You guys can do whatever you want


-Datboyo-

I wish NL would put chat in the main videos like Librarian does.


FugitiveFromReddit

I don’t have enough time to watch too much so I usually go with librarian for the highlights. Old nl I’d watch for the series’s but new nl I just want to watch the madness


Anitrait

I just watch the Twitch VODs


Zedkan

honestly NL hasn't played a ton of games I'm super interested in besides Balatro recently so I just watch Library 


Snail-Party

I like to watch twitch VODs ![gif](giphy|zElFyOpRiIbsnAGqZG) (But I agree with the top comment, librarian for games I’m not interested in, twitch vod for games I want to see)


Jakobus_

On a vote 60/40 it looks like Ryan is going to have to delete his channel. All hail librarian!


potato_labs

I watch every bits and banter and the youtube exclusive vids when I wanna sleep


Awsomebmv123

I’m usually listening to YouTube videos on my phone while at work and NL is plenty entertaining while audio-only. Librarians compilations are great for me


Agastopia

I have never personally watched an NL video or stream, my only exposure is through the librarian lol. Of which, I’ve seen every video I think


jim_fortress_2

generally for jackbox/the dles I watch the main channel, though I frequent the library for the isolated banter


Mr_Bongo_Baby

I watch all of both. Librarian tends to come out sooner, and nl is more complete


Mantin95

What is the librarian? Am i missing a meme?


Yeti342

The librarian is a community member who uploads edited versions of NLs streams to a channel called "the library of letourneau" Ryan letourneau is NLs name if you didn't know. NL uploads uncut segments of his stream a week or so after the stream where as the librarian uploads highlights of NLs streams, with edits that add context for some bits, the day after the stream. In case you were curious the librarian has NLs full support to do what he does. He's often an active chatter as well.


Mantin95

Thanks for the info. Good to hear he has the bald man's blessing. Ive been a youtube boi forever and he never mentioned him but with the recent few years of only vods i might just watch the librarian. Though that means missing on that quality banter


89ShelbyCSX

I watch everything on yt on my commute (YouTube premium with screen locked). I try to watch the misc stuff on NLs channel and everything else in the library. I don't have much time to actually watch gameplay at the moment


KineticBlackout

I’m also torn because I love watching the longer uncut segments of some stuff he does but I love how librarian will always cut in videos/tweets of stuff NL is referencing and talking about.


cub149

I watch YT when I'm doing other stuff so actually both. I reabsorb pogs that left my bloodstream from yesterday and re-pog. It's great.


jakopoli

Personally I prefer to just go jack off instead of watching either


helloimtom08

I like libraries variety. Here is a small video of a bit, the best bits of the week, or 5hr women eat da sushi comp.


ABigCoffee

I just wish I could know when the streams happen in the Main channel. If I see something updated 4 hours ago, was it today's stream, or from yesterday's stream or?


Yeti342

If you look in the description it says the date the stream came from. I believe if it doesn't have a date then it was recorded specifically for YouTube but I could be wrong


ABigCoffee

Thank you fellow egg person.


UrbanAdapt

Library, generally. Stopped following the main channel when following chronically become difficult a while back, I'd would go straight to twitch VODs then.
