According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

You know what really sucks? Owning their stuff. I got the screwdriver (it’s pretty nice). I’m drinking from one of the water bottles right now (it’s also pretty nice).

How am I supposed to go on using that shit? I can’t do it in front of anyone who knows. “Oh you like that LTT stuff? You know what they did right?”

All that goodwill flushed because of ego. All that cost, sunk. And the worst part is that this discourages me from buying merch from anyone else again, lest I get burned again someday when it comes out they too are the opposite of the image they portray for money.

I guess there truly is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Or.... just don't give a fuck and reply with "Bought it before the shennanigans, bro. Not gonna toss it."

But what will people think? 😱

True answer: They won't give a fuck

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I suppose I’m not going to actually give a shit. Still feels bad, man.

I used a Tek Syndicate mug up until a few months ago from way back when Logan was still cool. It was a sweet mug regardless.

Just pretend that your specific money went into the pocket of one of the employees whose fault this isn't.

I've been eyeing their screwdriver for a while, but I don't want to give Linus my money after seeing this... Wanna sell it to me? I don't care if it has any minor damage from regular use.

Edit: After the whole Madison thing, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth... Nevermind the screwdriver, I'll just buy a megapro or something...

What's so special about their screwdriver? Can I fight off a Dalek invasion with it or something?

[-] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I just want it for the strong magnet and the megapro style bit holder.

Just put a sticker over the logo if you don't want to sand it
