Damn they tried to plug LTT store too. GN made a long serious video with stats, data, no jokes, no sponsors or plugs.
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.
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
