He has mentioned a few times now that he struggles with developing ideas and script writing, and is essentially bottlenecking his pipeline. I'd imagine a well picked writing team that doesn't lose sight of what makes his content great would be welcome, but also I don't doubt over the years he's explored this at length already
He already has a sizable production team including several researchers (which he recently publicly mentioned). I think the fact that Tom Scott is simultaneously a presenter and writer for his channel made it difficult to outsource the writing process. He is extremely good at delivering his own script at natural voice, but that's not guaranteed if anything changes.
Fair enough. Although surely he could afford a writing team if he wanted to have one. I know this obviously isn’t a fair apples to apples comparison, but Linus gets like double the views and is able to employ 80+ people to work on the videos.
It would be interesting to hear Tom talk about his business, the way e.g. CGP Grey often does on his podcasts.
