Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership
_cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 3 weeks agoFunny you should bring up touching people in that context, because sexual harassment is the reason LTT stopped producing videos for awhile.

Of course, that article also covers the Gamers Nexus investigation into LTT taking money to give biased reviews.
I would keep going, but we both know you aren't going to read or watch those videos, so this comment is more for the other people who might be curious about it. And honestly I think your behavior makes the argumens against LTT look better, for no other reason than assholes tend to be followed by smaller, less famous assholes.

ah, yes, the good old "we paid somebody to listen to our side of the story and they naturally found nothing wrong".
as I said, I didn't post that link to convince you, because you're not interested in considering it. the link is for everyone else. you can keep on believing whatever it is you want, but since you can't edit my comment you don't have any way to stop anyone else from considering the facts.

it's not independent if the guilty party pays for it. that's called a "conflict of interest".
