I have a feeling of "I told you so" because I had mentioned how LTT always just felt like shills and something about Linus just didn't sit right with me years ago when I first started hearing about the channel and decided to check it out. I couldn't prove anything, you know. I just had this gut feeling about how things were presented, the way he talked, etc that things weren't what they seemed and he's probably a fucked up guy behind the scenes.
Turns out I was right.
That has nothing to do with being a shill. As far as I know, lmg still fiercely preserves is journalistic integrity, often cutting ties with brands that try to pressure them.
