GN did have their merch on display in the video. They didn't ANNOUNCE it or make any direction to it. But they still had merch ON DISPLAY. Not trying to dampen the shit that is going on with LMG, but I feel it's an important thing to make clear.

It is a good point to consider. Too bad it was made by someone who represents themselves as a 12 year old on the internet. Did you come from Reddit too?
That's because it's part of the set.
And saying "lttstore.com" is a part of every video.
Not even close to the same. One is something you'd have to put in extra work to remove, the other is something you have to put in extra work to add.
It's the same as Luke saying BYE at the end if every WAN show, it's just something they do.
I don't understand why you're focusing on completely irrelevant things like this when there's much worse shit going on, f.e. with Madison
They literally used the green screen set with custom backgrounds instead of one of their dozen physical sets around the LMG studio. They could have easily cut out that part as well if they wanted to.
Cool linus, cool
That your comment is stupid? I agree
yeah and they still had merch on display, exactly
There's a pretty big difference in having something on display as part of a set in a video about issues at another outlet, and calling out a link to a product to be purchased in what is supposed to be an apology video by said outlet. LMG also originally had this video monetised and had links to their store and products in the description before finally removing those. GN did none of this because they understood the seriousness of what they were doing - they even called out that the video wouldn't be monetised at the start of it.
I get the point you're trying to make, but it's a bad one.
Yeah I actually agree it's a bad one. I completely misread that person's comment lol. I made so many people pissed off accidently judging by the downvotes. My bad
