I unsubscribed from all LMG channels after the harmful practises came to light. That's just not on.

These things are always temporary. They'll lose subs for a moment, but then it'll bounce back like nothing

Yep... it surprises me that people still think that the internet has principles or cares. Haven't we seen how weak people are for reddit already?

I unsubbed a while ago after discovering it for myself and binging, because I've noticed the consumer hate from Linus and odd microagression at nearly all times so I noped out. Everything I learn only makes sense to me tbh. It was heavily foreshadowed.

OOTL, what's going on here?

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