    There is a YouTube video that literaly said they were scamming from 2020.

    Linus tech tips figure it out a year back and stop shilling it once they figured it out but for some reason didn’t make a video about it?

      I don’t know why LTT are somehow the bad guys in this, they weren’t the only ones to realise that the extension messed with their affiliate links and it’s not like it’s a thing to publicly shout about every dropped sponsor.

      I bet LTT has dropped plenty of sponsors without making a big public deal about it.

        I don’t think anyone is saying they’re the bad guy. At least I didn’t read it that way.

          There’s a few threads over on Reddit and the LTT forum about how Linus has apparently handled this all wrong, they should have made a video years ago, Linus being dismissive of if on WAN show is him being detached from reality, you know, the usual bullshit

          In fairness to me (and maybe you) Sync didn’t load the comment initially so only after I kept reading I found it
