ShortCircuit is a major Canadian technology channel produced by Linus Media Group. It serves as a sister channel to the world-renowned Linus Tech Tips and is headquartered in British Columbia. The channel features a rotation of hosts from the LMG team, providing a platform for fast-paced tech coverage and hardware impressions.
The channel gained immediate traction by leveraging the existing massive audience of the Linus Media Group ecosystem. It filled a niche for viewers who wanted to see products immediately after they were unboxed, rather than waiting for long-form reviews. This approach allowed the channel to quickly become a go-to source for early reactions to new consumer electronics.
ShortCircuit specializes in unboxing videos and first-impression reviews of a wide range of gadgets, from laptops and GPUs to unique consumer tech. The content is characterized by its spontaneous and less-scripted nature compared to other LMG productions. The hosts provide honest, real-time reactions to the build quality and initial setup of new hardware.
As part of Linus Media Group, ShortCircuit is integrated into a broader business model that includes the LTTStore merchandise brand. The channel often features sponsorships from major technology and software companies. These partnerships are typically woven into the unboxing process, providing a primary revenue stream for the production team.
There is no reliable public estimate for ShortCircuit's individual net worth, as it operates under the larger Linus Media Group umbrella. Revenue is generated through YouTube ad sense, direct sponsorships, and merchandise sales. The channel's high viewership and niche focus on high-end electronics make it a valuable asset for the production group.
ShortCircuit is recognized for its high-volume output of technology-focused digital content. It is a signature work of the Linus Media Group production house, contributing significantly to the group's total reach in the tech space. The channel's format has influenced how unboxing videos are produced across the YouTube platform.
The primary destination for ShortCircuit's content is their official YouTube channel, where they post regular updates. Some content may also be available through the Floatplane streaming service, which is Linus Media Group's proprietary platform. Viewers can find a vast archive of tech unboxings dating back to the channel's launch.
ShortCircuit has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing about 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube. This achievement solidifies its position as one of the most successful secondary channels in the technology category. It continues to grow as a major hub for consumer electronics enthusiasts worldwide.
ShortCircuit has 2.5M followers in total, which puts this profile in the mega band (1m – 10m followers). The largest single audience is on YouTube with 2.5M followers — about 100% of the total reach.
Combined reach is the sum of followers and subscribers per platform. It is not unique people: audiences overlap, so treat it as a size indicator for shortlisting rather than a guaranteed audience.

ShortCircuit is based in Canada and posts in English. For brands that usually means the core audience follows the same market and language, with a long tail from everywhere else — big accounts rarely stay local.
The content sits in movies & tv and tech & science, so the people watching are self-selected for those interests. That is the useful part of a niche profile: a mid-size account inside the right category often beats a much larger general account, because the audience already cares about the subject.
If you need the same audience profile in another market, the country and language lists on CreatorFanBase let you line up comparable creators side by side instead of guessing.
If you are shortlisting ShortCircuit for a campaign, these are the facts worth carrying into the brief. Everything here is stored data, refreshed on a schedule rather than typed in once.
A practical sequence: check the lead platform matches where your buyers are, check market and language, open the official account to see recent posting frequency, then ask for a media kit and rate card directly.

ShortCircuit's counts come from the platforms themselves via Apify YouTube public channel and are refreshed on a schedule; the most recent check was Oct 14, 2026. When a platform blocks a read, we keep the last verified number and show where it came from instead of filling the gap with an estimate.
Large jumps are treated as suspect: a sudden drop past our safety threshold is held back for review rather than published, which is why the numbers here tend to be lower-drama than screenshots circulating elsewhere.
