Its not debated. Its bullshit.
flat earthers existing doesnt put the earth's sensual curves up for debate either.
It's one of Lienus's L takes. People are giving it the benefit of a doubt because he has a huge following.
I started parroting "using a VPN to bypass region block is privateering" in response. LMG taking any VPN sponsorships after that L take is hypocrisy in my book.
Yeah it's even more ridiculous when you apply this logic to sponsored segments.
It's an ad, I skip it by seeking in the video, therefore it is piracy?
Also, people get arrested and fined for piracy where I live (because it is, well, illegal), so people blocking ads should go to prison?
When the face of LMG talks about things like this in a main channel video they should look into the consequences of the opinion they present.
Excuse the language, but what the actual fuck was Linus thinking?
Like what is the actual end goal here?
Linus says people should be punished for blocking ads, and the best way he thinks it should be executed is by law enforcement? Last time I checked that is how illegal actions are usually handled.
