Interesting, I saw him on a Jimmy Kimmel thumbnail recently so I thought the controversy was over.
Comment on Linus T..... (choose wisely)
Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days agoI don’t know the details but it seems like GN and Linux Sebastion are throwing punches again, with Louis Rossman having published a video siding with the former today

my take was that GN Steve is the one throwing punches and Linus said on the WAN Show that he didn’t want any part of it

Linus is scummy, definitely only cares about $$ and image. kept pushing honey after he knew it was a scam and left his fans in the dark to continue getting tracked and scammed. immoral shit bag.

I feel like a lot of this is wrong. He only knew about the creator link hijacking, not the anti consumer practice of not using the best Coupons.
Additionally he did drop honey? He didn’t keep pushing it.
If he didn’t know about the fake coupon comparison how is he leaving the fanbase to get scammed?

so if you took money from a company, then found out they’re shady as shit and stealing money from the users that you probably helped start using their service, would you just stop using them, or would you feel obligated to say something to the millions of people you convinced to use it? I’ve never used honey, it was pretty clear to me they would have to have your history and data to do what they offer.
do you think it’s enough to just stop using them and not help those that you lead down the wrong path, for fear it would damage your “image”? he’s scummy man, no better way to put it, especially since money was involved.

He still keeps saying something along the lines of honey still gets people the best deals, even though the coupon codes are part of the scam. (Honey coupon 10% off, but you can find 20% and 30% off on other coupon websites, honey does not get the best deal almost never.

Yeah so I really like Louis Rossman but he’s kinda inconsistent. His recent video brings up his narcissistic behaviour but a couple months ago there was this: youtu.be/qHwP6S_jf7g
And this video was posted wayyy after Linus’ narcissistic behaviour was on full display. Not to mention in terms of harmful youtube channels out there I feel like ltt is really not that horrible comparatively. ltt is a proponent for right to repair and consumer protection. Not to say we shouldn’t continue to criticize Linus but I don’t know about completely discounting ltt

Louis definitely has some ass hole characteristics too, but he has some solid points. $65k for a sponsor? ltt only cares about $, it shows big time.
also, all YouTube personalities are narcissistic lol
