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.
The irony is that it is on brand for them to be off brand
Yeah, I'm less interested in buying dbrand products now. I'm still very much displeased with LMG/LTT, but this was unprofessional.
I'd prefer if they just said something like this:
We're cancelling all sponsorships/relationships with LMG until the SA allegations have been resolved, at which point we'll reevaluate.
This kind of nonsense is just childish.
You aren't familiar with their marketing I take.
This is them condoning the behavior and showing their support for the channel in their weird cringey way. Not a condemnation.
How do you feel about Karen's Diner? Their whole shtick is to be rude and unprofessional to customers. Same goes for dbrand. It is their brand to be unprofessional.
thanks for using Leebra!

Wow, I would never think a brand could be so harsh, like geez I'd call that the opposite of brand protection.
