LTT is the worst channel for privacy. I do like the channel for new tech and all but not for digital privacy.

I don’t know a lot about Linus. What makes him a creep?

His workplace has been accused of being a toxic workplace, including sexual harassment.

That, and he steals from companies that send him devices to review after he completely fucks up testing by doing it against all specs. Must be the one Canadian asshole that exists.

I am very confused. Wasn’t Linus the one that said that if you watch YouTube videos from creators using adblockers is like pirating their content? I didn’t watch the video because I can’t stand LTT but I am genuinely confused. Did he change his mind?

his reasoning is that anyone who cares enough to use an adblocker already is, and if it’s impossible to prevent it it should at least be done properly

I think if was him he changes that a long time ago, they also have a video about pi-hole.

Edit: Is him yes, he says that in the video around the 14 minute mark.
