Ironically enough, this whole debacle with Billet Labs probably is better advertising than a proper review ever would have been. (sh.itjust.works)

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

Like I said, I'm not invested enough in rich people who buy dumb shit to defend them online. I just don't care, and I don't care if all content online doesn't cater to them, as you seem to suggest. You seem to suggest some kind of violence even, in not catering to idiots with too much money and time. Sorry man, but no, that's no the "hot take" you think it is. LTT and Billet labs can be dumb simultaneously.

It’s not for you to decide on if someone else should buy it.

wtf does this even mean. this sounds like the kinda shit someone who buys a gold plated ratchet would say

Yeah? Where? You're fucking delusional.

Does every single item in your house serve a practical purpose and you have nothing that serves aesthetically? And also, you have never paid more for one item over another because it provides better aesthetics? Do you not have hobbies? I guarantee I could take one look through your house and point out much dumber shit you have bought in a matter of two minutes. You're a moron, with dumb takes.

Also, the tools I've bought over the years have saved me literal thousands of dollars and have given me skills and experience that you can't buy... so paying another $20 for a gold plated ratchet is a problem to you? Spoken like someone with no life skills, and no money.
