Kinda shows the problem. They even said they weren't gonna sponsor it, but they still let us know who wanted to!
Yeah that added the cherry to an already horribly cringe worth "apology" video.
You know what that sounded to me? “See, we’re in this mess but people still want to pay us!”
I remember linus said he will monetize his death (or funeral?) if he can during a wan show. But I cannot find the footage.
He said if something catastrophic happened on camera to keep the cameras rolling and monetize it because its great content
That was a joke. Linus not really liking dbrand but not being able to turn down the sponsorship money is basically an LTT meme at this point. Yvonne was really poking fun at Linus since they basically use every sponsorship opportunity to mess with him.
along those lines, i really struggle to understand dbrands marketing tactics
