I just unsubbed from the $10 Floatplane group too

I was never subbed anyway, but I also made sure to find a LTT vid and click on “don’t recommend channel” on YouTube.

Nuking from orbit is the only way to be sure.

OOTL, what's going on here?

I had to look it up myself. These two links seem to cover the controversy pretty well.
