FFS... I'm never going to buy anything hyped by LTT before doing more thorough research on it.

Obviously never rely on a single source before buying something, but this isn't news. See the other dude's comment https://lemmy.world/comment/20879776

Literally what LTT itself preaches...

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Paid hype is a red flag imo

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well it’s LTT. They would sell shit in a box for the right price.

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Mostly so they could say they did.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you saying the products they sell are shit?

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Not all. But they are a marketing company more than anything at this point. They would push anything for the right price.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Their reviewers are always so flippant and trying to be cool and casual about it all. I don’t know how anyone can take them seriously.

Yeah. Believe it or not but the sex pest who actively didn't warn his contemporaries about the impact of the honey plugin and who now advertises on kiwi farms might be kind of a piece of shit who will say anything for a buck?

And now for a word from d-brand!

Oh come on this honey thing is so over blown. Honey was known to be bad even then but I guess no one made a YouTube video about it and people can't read anymore.
