I don’t think this topic was worth them making a main channel video on

Their viewers getting scammed by tech they promoted isn't worth a video on their main channel? If they could legally do it I think they should have.

Some very vocal people on Lemmy just love hating on LTT

LTT have made mistakes (edit: and made choices/comments I would disprove of) but the dunking here does seem disproportionate.

I'm definitely noticing a lot of hate warranted or not bjt it's honestly also been hard to defend them after their last "scandal". Once bitten twice shy...

Same reason I don't try to give CD Projekt RED the benefit of the doubt anymore even though I loved Cyberpunk despite the messed up launch, and it seems they've largely redeemed themselves - I now realize where their priorities lie.
