I genuinely didn't see that. He seemed like a cool dude and wanting to do the best and figuring things out.

So for me, this news is disappointing. Although, it'd be more disappointing if I was still watching. The thumbnails really got to me over time. I know why people do them, but you know, still...

That was the trend for me too. Avoided his videos because of thumbnails. Saw some youtubers I watched on scrapyard wars and liked the series then came to like LTT after giving it a chance. But then over time his thumbnails and shill vibe of do everything possible to monetize got to me and I stopped. That strategy for their videos is so ingrained in their culture that even their apology video is monetized and has affiliate links and sponsor segment jokes. Just a fatiguing channel.
