Maybe it was more "I haven't watched it in forever anyways, they seem to have crashed in quality anyways, might as well finally pull the plug from my sub"? Sounds like that to me, anyways.

Personally the last time I really watched LTT was when he started doing the idiot-face algorith-optimization, as in a lot of ways it heralded the shift towards a "proper" business over the more smallscale tech videos I enjoyed. It just felt too clean, too business, for me. I have the same problem with GN, obviously.

You summed it up pretty nicely why I unsubbed. The part "can't believe what Linus has become" is mostly about how they handled Billet Labs.
