At this point, anything these goons "influencers" try to sell me on is a scam, and I'll avoid it at all costs. People do insane things for money. Just watched a coffeezilla video on the CSGO gambling scam and holy shit, people are straight up heartless and have no humanity in them.

I respect coffee but he said nice things about MrBeast who is known to hire pedophiles and sexual pests

Why do I feel like mentioning the LTT was very personal?πŸ˜‚

They're one of the largest tech media companies and deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it. Then they took sponsorships from Karma, which is a competitor to Honey that does the exact same thing.

No, they are not one of largest tech media companies They have less than what 100 employees. Maybe you used the wrong term?

When did they learn about it? Where your proof?

  • It's the holidays and a lot of content of made awhile, I don't expect them to make dedicated statement.

Here. Here's a link to the exact moment that entire chapter starts.

I watched it, but I'll reserve my judgment until the next wan show because I don't know if it has been mentioned before on an earlier show or how the problem has been interpret by staff.

I haven't trusted LTT for about 5 years now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Agreed. I remember enjoying their workshop videos a long time ago, but they can't even be trusted for PC building info, much less anything else.

If something advertises on youtube it’s a scam. Simple to remember really.
