CONCLUSION: I will stop watching them since all of these alligations and "false?" hardware testing makes me not wanna support them. Even if most of them aren't true, i don't want to risk it

ive heard some mixed things about ltt so i want to know if theyre actually bad or not

and im not watching them for linux help, i just like the content, but i also dont want to support a bad person

He hate unions. Doesn't pay his workers fairly. Drives a porsche. Has a private jet. Knew that honey was scamming him with the last click affiliate links switcheroo and instead of exposing them he quietly ended there sponsorship with them.

Also the 2 - 3 sponsor breaks plus the "at ltt store dot com" self promotion every 5 minutes really makes the videos unbearable to watch even with sponsor block.

Let alone all the non compete shit with his workers as well as the working atmosphere that was reported by some of the workers.

LTT was not the only ones ditching honey at the time, long before the 2024 honey scandal.

The only real news was that honey was/is only showing/setting their own worse coupons, even if another coupon would provide a better deal.

For unions he has said he is pro union, just that he would count it as a personal failing if his team felt they needed to unionize.

For your last point there are over 100 people working there. You will inevitably meet oddballs who are not happy with anything. Also non compete is (unfortunately) standard legalise these days.

He's not. He cannot be, it doesn't matter what he said. If you understand the meaning of "collective bargaining" you cannot believe that an employer can even remotely like unions. Of course he was pretending.

Revanced autoskips all of those sponsor/ad segments.

With all that skipping those videos must be unwatchable.

Technically sponsor block dies this. It's on more projects than just revanced.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
