Membership Levels
I provide several different membership levels on YouTube and it tends to be a bit confusing, so let’s see what each one of them includes.
Pricing may vary depending on your country.
All paid memberships are managed by YouTube and can be joined from the same page:
Do not purchase a membership from an iPhone. YouTube already takes 30% of the membership, and Apple takes another 30% cut if you purchase through the iPhone app. Use a computer, Android device, or web browser instead.
For more details about livestreams, TTS, Discord, donations, and other channel features, read this page:
Livestream and channel information
The members-only Discord server can be joined here:
Your Discord account must be connected to the same YouTube account that has the active membership.
The Executive Producer and CEO levels are for the Linkarzu Root Access podcast.
These are group podcast livestreams where members can join me and talk about their workflow, computer setup, Linux, macOS, Neovim, Emacs, homelabbing, networking, keyboards, business, YouTube channel, projects, videos they want us to react to. Or anything else the group wants to discuss.
All Linkarzu Root Access episodes are published here:
Watch the Linkarzu Root Access Podcast on YouTube
You can use these episodes to:
- Regularly share progress on a project
- Show changes to your setup or workflow
- Ask for feedback from me and the community
- Discuss your business or YouTube channel
- Bring videos or topics for us to react to
- Spend time with other people in the community
Those episodes are not private one-on-one coaching calls. Other eligible members may join the same episode, and the conversations are normally livestreamed publicly so viewers can watch and participate through chat.
The episodes are scheduled based on my availability and the availability of the members participating. If you cannot attend one of the scheduled episodes, let me know. I will do my best to recover the session during that same month when possible, but recovery sessions are exceptions, not the normal schedule, and cannot be guaranteed.
One guest total can join Root Access per month, even if there is a recovery session. Members take turns choosing who brings that guest: member 1 chooses in the first month, member 2 chooses in the next month, member 3 in the month after that, and then the rotation starts over.
If scheduling becomes difficult for everyone, I may create two groups so members can join the group that better fits their schedule. This does not create an additional guest slot: there is still only one guest total per month across both groups.
The podcast is also distributed to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, and other podcast platforms.

To use Text To Speech during a supported livestream, send your message like this:
!say I have a small pp
Your message will be read out loud by a computer voice so I can hear it even when chat is moving too fast.
TTS may be disabled during interviews or livestreams with guests so the conversation is not interrupted every 14 seconds by someone asking which Linux distribution is the best.

Recording Services Outside YouTube
Can I hire you for a recording outside YouTube?
Yes.
If you need recording and production for content that belongs to you or your business, we can arrange it separately through Ko-Fi:
Rate: $200 per recorded hour.
The rate applies to the total time reserved for your recording session. Pausing the recording for breaks or other interruptions does not pause billable time, so please plan the session length accordingly.
The price is based on recording session time, not the number of hours I spend editing afterward. One recorded hour may still require several additional hours of preparation, audio cleanup, editing, exporting, and delivery.
For example:
- Business interviews
- Tutorials, demonstrations, walkthroughs, or training videos
- Remote presentations with multiple guests
- Screen-sharing sessions with dynamic layout switching
- Professionally produced conversations that do not publish on my channel
We can define what you need before recording, including:
- Who will participate
- Whether screen sharing is required
- What editing and deliverables are included
- Whether you need clips or Shorts
The finished content can be delivered to you for publication on your own platforms.
What type of editing is included?
The standard edit is similar to what you already see on my Podcast YouTube channel
It includes:
- Audio cleanup and leveling
- Removing unnecessary silences
- Basic cuts
- Switching between cameras and screen shares
- 10 edited vertical Shorts that you can share on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, X, or other social media platforms
- 3 edited clips of approximately 5 to 10 minutes from the recording that you can publish on your own platforms
- Exporting the final video
The service does not include:
- Motion graphics
- Custom animations
- Complex visual effects
- Heavy restructuring of the recording
- Multiple revision rounds
- Custom branding packages
- Thumbnail design (unless previously agreed)
- Anything else that significantly increases editing time
The goal is a clean, professional recording, not a full Hollywood production. If your project needs something outside the standard edit, we’ll define it before recording so we both know exactly what’s included.
