Linus, if you're reading this, please come and entertain us. Please stop all the seriousness, back-and-forths and all that nonsense - 99.99% of us don't care.

Thousands of us won't watch any network TV but will make a special place in our calendars every Friday evening to spend watching you and Luke make us laugh - that's pretty special really.

You know, I’ve tried to stay neutral on this whole situation since last years expose by GamersNexus; but at this point I think it needs to be said.

At what point did YouTubers and content creators take an oath of responsibility and accountability to always shield and defend the consumer?

Why exactly is it a public personalities responsibility to make sure others are informed, just because they happen to have a platform and a megaphone to say it louder than others?

I get being a decent human, but in what world is it anyone’s responsibility to even potentially inconvenience themselves for another’s benefit?

Altruism and the courage to put yourself in uncomfortable situations are absolutely commendable, but I think we need to understand that these things are a gift when people do them.

Another issue I have is what entitles anyone to judge another on what is or isn’t “doing enough”. What makes them the authority or gives them the right to point fingers?

All this to say, if you dislike the behavior and fundamentally disagree with someone’s lack of action that you otherwise would have taken, then go take the action and put the energy you’d like to see in the world into it, instead of pointing fingers when the bigger fish doesn’t do what you want.

LTT is a semi-educational entertainment channel. They’ve never claimed to be a consumer rights activism platform, or an investigative journalism platform, or any other kind of platform that has a responsibility to their audience.

They’ve taken steps at times to try and do the right thing, attempt to be transparent with their community, and try to provide their consumers with a reasonable and above average level of support and advocacy, but in no world do they owe that to anyone.

People need to stop pointing fingers and just do better themselves if they don’t like it, because at this point it’s just coming off as petty and jealous.

Original Title: BEWARE: Fake "Rock 'Em Socks" websites claims to sell LTT merch including discontinued items like the Luxe backpack and Floatplane shirts. DO NOT VISIT THE SHOP. YOU WILL BE SCAMMED. I only include the name so LTT can deal with the scammers if possible

I just received my Commuter Backpack and Precision Bit Driver and Case! I normally have an IFIXIT kit that I EDC but am now switching to the LTT Precision Driver and case, outside of the driver itself, I find myself using the tweezers very frequently and wanted to carry them too! Here is the design I came up with and printed!

The print was designed to be snug so it is pressed in rather than glue.

Just wish I had some LTT Orange filament!
