I've seen that LTT made a video about degoogling our lives, that's a great point that a big youtuber like him would make videos like this!

LTT has made some severe anti-FOSS videos in the past. I don't really trust them. It looks like they're doing things just for views

I don't care for LTT anymore after the whole Gamer's Nexus thing. I wasn't invested in either channel, I occasionally watched LTT, but it was exceedingly obvious that Linus fucked up management of his company to the point where it actually unjustly damaged a small company.

yeah, I'm not a fan of theirs, but in this one case I'll take a fairly informative video that covers the basics, regardless of the motivation. they've got a huge reach so many people will be made aware of alternatives to Google, which is nice. they cover some choices there that I'm not a fan of, but I still like that the topic is making its way to mainstream more.

Unfortunately they didn't mention GrapheneOS
