@suuuoppp: To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items...…

TLDR:

Over work

Mentally draining/abusive workplace

harassment

(maybe intentionally) bad management practices

lack of any signs of improvement

    I wouldn’t call the merch shitty at all.
    Overpriced compared to other companies in the same quality category? Maybe. But it’s actually not bad quality and all my family members complimented me on the quality.

      Eh I was being a bit moody and flippant when I wrote that.

      That said, I don’t think I have ever, nor wound I ever buy merch from anything. It’s just not my scene, but I’m sure I waste my money on things others wouldn’t enjoy so each to their own I guess.

      May I ask why you buy merch? Is it to support the (already rich) creators, is it because you genuinely like the products, you just want cool merch, or something else?

        I usually only buy stuff I like/enjoy design wise.
        I’m usually not someone that would buy a band shirt and would most likely gravitate to buying the CD instead.

        In regards to LTT: I enjoy their designs and feel. So far I bought a CPU/HDD/multi nep t-shirt, a waffle shirt and 2 flannel shirts.
        That I support them is just a side product.
        I believe that Linus genuinly meant it when he says “I don’t want to produce garbage” and for that alone I would spend the 5€ more.

        For now I will not buy anything anymore and watch their next steps.
