Is using adblock the same as piracy?

Does anyone even buy the merch he sells? The CPU pillow was kind of cool (one side being the heatspreader and the other being the pads/pins) but other than that I don't know who would buy it.

It makes up 15% of his company’s revenue:

According to this autist, LTT made almost $10 million in revenue that year, and around $1.5 million of that was merchandise. The source of the pie chart is Linus himself.

These numbers make him look even more pathetic for pirating software that costs less than $1000 per year.

Edit: I'm a dumbass and forgot that the OP has the 2021 version of this chart which shows merch to be 32% of revenue.

Can this clip of LTT's All White PC Build be included in the lolcow thread

Not really much bipoc representation, I'm disappointed. Is Linus a closet racist who refuses to hire African Americans? I think it might be the case!

Finding one that knows what they're doing when it comes to PC's in BC? Come on now. Only people worth hiring there are the Asians.

Linus has a three part video on making an 18k gold Xbox Series X controller and invested $200k into Framework Laptops

Youtube videos arent paid content (except members only shit) so therefor adblock isnt piracy

So Linus got bullied by a Twitch thot over another take on advertising:

Linus’ take is actually correct, but he’s a total cuck for deleting his tweet and groveling before her:

And she accepted his apology:

Every time Linus entertains the fallout of his shit takes, he just looks more and more butthurt. Now he's trying to accommodate to thots so he's throwing away any chance at "winning" his way back to good graces.

Edit: holy shit posting first thing in the morning has its own consequences.

Yes, and there's literally nothing wrong with piracy

stopping certain elements of a webpage is considered piracy?
