Unfortunately corporations will be corporations and these things will always happen, once LMG stopped being Linus media group it became your usually shitty corporation focused purely on profit (while that was the point from the beginning at least then it was for the purpose of getting higher quality content and actually paying Luke)

As a certified LMG hater:

Geez.. Watching this now. I've been skeptical of LTT for a while and noticed the focus had changed a bit when they launched Short Circuit and such. But I don't think I could watch LTT without cringing anymore.
