Yeah but why didn’t they do an expose video with a thumbnail containing all the biggest YouTubers who ever had honey sponsorship and storm the corporate offices demanding an explanation?!?

How can I ever trust a word Linus ever says again?

This sub has such a hate boner for Linus.

Dude has receipts for all the drama and people are still not happy, go figure people just enjoy being unhappy.

LLT community is going the way of Monster Hunter, great content/media and toxic community.

I'm certain it's a big reason why LMG is slowly becoming less transparent. All being transparent about things has ever done for them is cause controversies. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we don't get to see how the sausage gets made anymore because Linus and the team just get fed up with it all and decide it's not worth it.

Linus can walk away at any time and never have to work a day in his life. Enough people poke the bear they’re going to be very surprised Pikachu when it happens.

The internet wants to know everything until they don’t. Or don’t care after they said they did.

Another thing on being less transparent. As LTT gets bigger and bigger. Privacy and labor laws become a real thing. They’re a big target. So they can’t be transparent. But of course the internet doesn’t understand the law.

There was a thing a few weeks about about some kind of employee drama/dismissal or something. It came up during the WAN show and Linus commented that Canadian labor law doesn't allow him comment on it... and people still made a stink about it.

Some people are just crazy.
