~~⚠️ 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...)~~

I unsubscribed from all LMG channels after the harmful practises came to light. That's just not on.
OOTL, what's going on here?
I had to look it up myself. These two links seem to cover the controversy pretty well.

I unsubbed a while ago after discovering it for myself and binging, because I've noticed the consumer hate from Linus and odd microagression at nearly all times so I noped out. Everything I learn only makes sense to me tbh. It was heavily foreshadowed.
I unsubbed a couple of weeks ago because they released that always live video thing and it gave me the shits seeing the icon
Thanks for the reminder.
