Preface: Since we're in high drama mode I wanted start by saying this isn't an attack or attempt at comparison to any other YTer. Sharing because it's heartwarming and feel we could use more positivity.

Alec at Technology Connections posted on his Patreon yesterday...

So it’s time to announce a new policy. I’ve gone through my housing, business, transportation, energy, and general life expenses (like health insurance, what fun). After adding those up, making room for my regular retirement investments and a monthly stipend for food and whatnot, your support on Patreon currently represents a monthly surplus of approximately $4,500. I will be donating those surplus funds to social services organizations in my local area which provide housing, food, job training, and legal counseling to those in need. Shortly I will be setting up recurring donations totaling that amount and I will provide receipts for you. I will also be re-evaluating income and expenses on a quarterly basis and adjusting amounts as needed.

With the revenue shared from YouTube, this feels like the right thing to do. Unless things turn sour extremely quickly, I still have quite a rainy day fund. To myself, I’ve been rationalizing my “fun” purchases as coming from that chunk of the business and now I’ll make that explicit: your support here covers my expenses and the surplus beyond that will benefit my community.

I have been donating to two local organizations that I trust (in no small part because I volunteered for them in the past) since 2020 and they will both see an increase in support. Those are the People's Resource Center in Wheaton and the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry. I would like to support more organizations, though - so please feel free to make suggestions for Chicago-area orgs you trust. I would like to keep my impact local but would also like to help those living in the City proper.

There is one thing i don't get about the gn and especially louis rossman video. And that is that they only focus on ltt being the bad guy for not making a post or video. A ton of youtubers have promoted honey, and i mean a TON. Many of them stopped around the same time as ltt did so they surely knew something was up. Why isn't mrbeast getting flack with 100x the audience? Or mark rober? It surely isn't the first time a sponsor has fucked up and been dropped quietly.

He absolutly didn't see it as personal slight agsinst him pr let it influence his behaviour. (Tried GrayJay. Lots of issues, YT on it not working [for me] for months. Neat Idea, poor delivery. Toxic community).

Right now to me it seems that out of the three, Linus is the only mature one who is trying to end all this drama but Steve and Louis just don't seem to be doing the same. Normally I love Louis' Right to Repair stuff but this video he was just pulling out his personal beef with Linus and bringing up stuff from 5 years ago which makes no sense at all.

I didn't even understand how we went from Honey to the iMac repair in the first place....? As someone who promoted right to repair and consumer's rights, I expected better from Louis. Instead of fighting against Linus he should be fighting against Honey. Ranting about Linus won't do anything about Honey now.

I mean unless he actually intended for everything to snowball like it did. But I don't think he really intended for things to blow up like they did.

Yes, I know. Another rossmann post/roast but I m genuinely curious and stunned by his narcissism.

At 39:28 he starts talking how he did not get a plus 1 ticket and how that conference was beneficial to Linus only?

How rossmann is such a nice guy that he’d waste a weekend and time away from his gf to “make linus money”?? How he was dropping everything FOR linus? How delusional can one person even be?

I was willing to listen to Rossmans complaints until the barely hanging on bottom completely fell out when Louis referred to Linus as "This motherfucker". No credibility in acting like an angry teenager. I wasn't too familiar with Rossman before this, but he always seemed to carry himself with some dignity. Maybe I'm wrong there, but he didn't strike me as someone so juvenile. He and Steve both had this very professional attitude in my mind but now they have this major hate-on for Linus, and Linus handles it gracefully, whereas those two let their emotions lower their IQs. It's two pups nipping at the big dogs heels.

I don't even know if it's worth my time to post my shitty take on this whole thing.

It is not the job of a company that had vibrator races in their backyard and had a dancing/rapping stormtrooper, to educate anyone on the security, privacy, and financial risks of browser session/cookie hijacking.

Cookie stuffing to illegitimately earn affiliate money has been an issue since affiliate codes and cookies existed. It has been reported on at least as early as 2004.

It isn't LMGs job to warn you that they were unintentionally advertising an affiliate hijacker. The fact that they cancelled the sponsorship and made a post is adequate.

Is it the job of a porn site tell you that "No, hot singles AREN'T actually 5 miles away."?

Does the billboard that said "Visit Times Square" need to tell you that 3 Card Monte is a scam?

Does Shaquille O'Neal need to explain to you that the cartoon general in his car is in fact, not a real general and that he may not actually have the best rates?

We don't expect celebrities to come out and make videos slamming companies they were spokespeople for when it turns out the product was garbage. We expect them to stop endorsing the product.

We shouldn't expect the company who got tricked by an affiliate hijacking company to make a video about how they were fooled.

After delving into all the drama, I came out thinking the same thing everyone else has been thinking.... He has the biggest ego when it comes to Final Fantasy 6. Luke is trying his best Linus. You're not a FF6 god

I can't explain how it felt watching a full grown man just sit there and curse and repeat same points over and over again in an hour long video. I mean he has one valid point that linus could've just told everybody about why they stopped working with honey on main channel but except for that he was just "quoting" and cursing and it was disgusting to watch. Now, I don't know if all of you will have the same opinion and my thinking could be influenced because I have been a fan and watching ltt for a long time, but all I could see was him criticizing linus over something he did not even do. I could not find any video on his channel about honey which is THE scam. Even if he talked about it why is there no dedicated video when he makes himself "the good guy" who cares for consumers and his viewers.

I'll just stop here cuz I might start cussing at him and I don't want to stoop down to his level.
