~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

I unsubscribed from all LMG channels after the harmful practises came to light. That's just not on.

I unsubbed a while ago after discovering it for myself and binging, because I've noticed the consumer hate from Linus and odd microagression at nearly all times so I noped out. Everything I learn only makes sense to me tbh. It was heavily foreshadowed.
