And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.

    First of all, Lemmy has a lot of users for whom English is a second language. So maybe don’t be a jackass about correcting grammar.

    Secondly, in case you happen to be in that group of people ‘largest media company’ in this context applies to their reach, and not to their actual size. They are ‘large’ because they have a large audience, generate a lot of revenue, and are worth a lot of money. LMG also comprises 10 different YouTube channels with maybe 10 billion views between them.

      Look I’m not correcting grammar, I’m not native English speaker myself + I’m very dyslexic.

      But when someone says the biggest tech media companies, you put them in same category as Disney, Apple and so on, which makes them very small.

        Sometimes people exaggerate and if you point out what they said is inaccurate then they get mad you’re not addressing their main point.

          People are going mad anyways, doesn’t really matter especially here on lemmy ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

          People are putting the blame on creators, instead of PayPal/honey, when creators are the victims too. We don’t know the full story from LLT from their side if “deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it

          If I’m questioning it, I’m going to get negative feedback because the narrative is they are to blame because they are “big”.
