This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit...
Bro, the simple fact that Linus failed to recognize that ads are most of the time forced on you, with no paid opt-out alternative, had me cursing at him.
It’s not piracy if I can’t pay to get the product unaltered. PERIOD.
You still get their obnoxious “screwdriver, lttstore, waterbottle” reminders in every single video.
Their 10sec in-video ads aren’t that bad, but other channels have 2min ads within 8min videos.
Which mean’s paying users still get more ads than someone with browser extensions/modified apps.
The whole thing is a race to the bottom. People use adblock because there are just too many Youtube ads.
Creators get less money from Youtube, so they resort to more and more in-video ads, and eventually SponsorBlock gets more appealing.
Is watching this video considered piracy if there are no ads to skip over?

YouTube premium is exactly that though, isn’t it? Not that I agree with either side, just trying to comprehend

Remember when they used an unlicenced version of OCCT commercially?

This comment is where LTT started going down for me.
I listened to an episode of the wan show once and I was out. He showed such disdain for his own audience.
Someone gave like $100 or something insane for a super chat question and he was rude to them.
Should’ve bought a backpack instead. /s
