    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.

      Why not name and shame? It’s not like burning that bridge would matter if you’re unwilling to do business with them anymore.

      If you quietly move on, that doesn’t help anyone.

      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
