Their whole thing is to do this stuff with Linus. It’s a constant friendly back and forth. Linus will make fun of and trash Dbrand in videos they sponsor, while Dbrand makes fun of him. In a vacuum, this looks really weird/bad, but if you are familiar with the back and forth it very much comes across as two really good friends taking the piss and just having fun.
There is basically no piece of content Dbrand isn’t willing to sponsor with LMG because they don’t give a fuck.
I didn’t know this because I generally tune out anything sponsor related either by sponsor block or just shut my brain off to it so that makes I guess a bit more sense with context. I think that in an instance like this not too many people will get that though. It still actually comes across as over the board because of the severe implications with Linus as a company shareholder, but this is Twitter so maybe I’m just over this kind of advertisement exposure.

To me it’s hilarious. Who knew Lemmy would be filled with so many puritans
Being a puritan is different than not liking the “Hey kids, aren’t swear words cool?” schtick
The puritans and the well akshually people, this place will be alright
You’re wrong, but okay
