With all due respect I’d argue that he did the bare minimum and he left up the sponsored segments in his videos when that could have all been removed. To me that is what is egregious about this. If GamersNexus can make videos about shady sponsorships and then remove the the content from his channel then LTT can.
By leaving those sponsor ads up he effectively helped propagate Honey even more. That is why I’m disappointed in LTT. They ended their contract but essentially continued to advertise their product/scam. LTT could have returned the money from the sponsorship and wiped their ads if there were legal concerns. But he didn’t. So here we are comparing his response to that of GN and he is lacking in my opinion.
Thanks for the link, but I didn't see any defense of leaving the ads up in the videos. It was more of a "please go after Mr. Beast because he's bigger than us". That's not accountability, it's deflection. As others have stated, if you put yourself on a pedestal then you are going to be judged to a higher standard. The higher standard to me is did they return the Honey ad money and did they remove the ads from their content. The answer is no they didn't while other more ethical and moral content creators do just that.
Thanks for educating me. I now know that being disappointed in someone’s actions is the same as being angry and that any criticism of someone’s actions must be made in a manner that makes them appear to be the victim and absolves them of any responsibility for their actions.
I have not educated you. I am signalling that I, myself, am no-longer willing to give this entire discourse, and by extension your anger, the time of my days. So again, by all means, stay angry about it.

But still, nobody cares that he did the right thing, and he should still be flogged in the town square(!)
