~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~

~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Just unsubbed. I know there are great individuals working for this company, but I can't support LTT after how they treated Madison. I can't believe I bought their merch because I felt guilty about using an ad-blocker.

Shame on you Linus, your indifference to the cruelty of your management makes you just as guilty. 👎

Lol you bought merch from an infomercial

First things first: I've unsubscribed from all their channels and canceled my floatplane so when you read what I'm about to type don't try and call me a shill.

I have bought many items from LTT and every single one is either equal to or actually the best version of that item I own.

It may be an infomercial but at least it's one that sells genuinely good products.

I'm actually kind of bummed to stop supporting the company because I was looking forward to some of the products in the pipeline but at the end of the day fuck linus.

Even if the products were the best in the world I still won't be buying anymore and supporting his idiocy.

To be fair.. unless LTT is the only youtube you watch, your guilty conscience over an add blocker is still reasonable. Thats how all the channels make money.
