Same here, just unsubscribed. Issues like this speak to a larger cultural issue within an organization, and Linus leading such an organization says a lot about him.

I was an avid fan since 2015, fortunately I adopted their perspective about shitty companies and what to do about them. I don't preorder, I don't tolerate shitty ethics, I don't purchase half-finished videos/products, which means I certainly don't consume LTT content.

Madison is a hero for stepping up like this.

Honest question, what were you a fan of? Their videos never quite landed with me.
