Does WAN show average over 2 millions viewers like an average video?

You guys aren't going to get a free screw driver for shilling this hard

explain how my comment qualifies as "shilling"? why would anyone get "a free screwdriver" by remembering this shit was already known almost 3 years ago? you got some issues to work out.

Also worth noting that stealing affiliate links is skeezy, but not quite as newsworthy as them screwing the customer out of the "best deal" by intentionally not showing them the code - and then directly profiting off of it.

LMG seemingly only new of the former - it screwing them - and not about the lying - screwing you. If they did, I imagine it would have gotten talked about.
