    Why am I entirely not surprised that LMG knew what the fuck was going on, and didnt say a fuckin thing about it.

    Made more public comments over legitimate criticism about his “just trust me, bro” warranty, than about honey being a out and out scam.

      Never watched the channel, but I would guess that being tech-themed makes it a worse look that they promoted it for so long before catching the issue, so they were worried it would cast doubt on all other endorsements and tank the value of advertising with them.

        I think coming out and pointing out what honey did would probably be the least damaging thing they’ve done in the past few years.

        because holy fuck have they had some whoppers.

      They might not be able to say anything. Advertising contract might have a clause saying they can’t speak of the details of their deal, or speak negatively about the sponsor.
