What a stupid thing to say. Unsubbing is a mature response.

Waiting for both sides to tell their story is the mature response.

It's a sub. Why are you acting like unsubbing is such a terrible, immature response?

Exactly. OP can easily resub once each side has said their piece and OP feels comfortable that any issues were resolved.

It's also not like YouTube won't recommend you channels that you unsub from. I had to into a 3rd party channel blocker because it kept recommending me AvE even though I very much don't want to see that channel anymore.

Sure, but I can also ignore most of that by just going to my subscriptions page. I don't mind seeing irrelevant videos, I'm just not going to click on them.

We already have their response though? They continue deleting comments that even bring it up. That alone should tell you everything.

Stop licking their boots; there are better tech channels.

Yup. Some favorites:

  • Gamer's Nexus - recently called out LTT for consistent technical mistakes in reviews; very high quality testing on PC hardware
  • Optimum Tech - focuses largely on SFFPCs and gaming peripherals like mice and keyboards (GN has almost no coverage on any of them)
  • The Phawx - lately lots of handhelds like AYANEO and Steam Deck, but also does lots of game performance testing and some hardware testing
  • Louis Rossmann - Right to Repair fanatic, and discussion about some tech news, usually pointing out repair-related issues
  • SomeOrdinaryGamers - a weird hodge-podge of software config (e.g. went through installing Arch, setting up PCIe passthrough for Windows gaming VMs, emulation), tech news, old school mods, and lately aliens (from a skeptic perspective)

I've also liked Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, and JayzTwoCents (dropped this hard since it became ridiculous imo), but I haven't watched anything from them in a couple years so I can't really recommend them.

I watch LTT a handful of times per year, and usually it's not really my thing (more hype than content imo).

Can confirm that Gamer's Nexus and Optimum Tech are absolutely superb. You can tell those guys are doing it for the love of the game. LTT is vacuous in comparison.

Another I didn't mention is Level1Techs, though they tend to focus more on server hardware and less on weird gaming tech (though they do gaming reviews as well).

But we wont hear llts response to this.. lol

If she had several tweets of bullshit about the company, it might not have been like this 100%.. but ill bet that this is just one out of several people who felt screwed working there
