LTT vs Google.
I’ll side with LLT on this, but that doesn’t mean I want to support their channel.
Why? What did LTT do?
Out of the loop on this.
Quick summary, probably missing a lot, but...
And just general douche-baggery.
But mostly? It just means to take anything LMG does with a massive grain of salt. They have repeatedly demonstrated that they are not above manipulating their audience and influence to push anti-consumer behavior. So a video where they were "too spicy" for Google for promoting alternatives (some of which LMG themselves operate) is, to quote the children, sus. And yeah, it sounds like the issue has nothing to do with "don't use gmail or youtube" and all to do with "use this random third party app that bypasses all the ads so you can still use youtube".
Thank you for taking the time to type this whole thing out! I thought I knew everything but I clearly only knew the GN takedown piece, wow.
