    you are way off there.   How are you able to say that im not complaining about the quality degrading?   Ive been watching LTT since 2010,  and listening to WAN show for about 3 yrs.  Like most its good filler and keeps me  up to date on things i have missed.  Do you know what a merch message is?   Let me explain it to you.  This is when  the downfall started IMO and every week it just seems like theres more and more "LTTshop" talk.  

    you coment is actually an oxymoronic one, considering  you said, "OP isn't complaining about the quality degrading as I've already stated, they're complaining about the content and how they'd prefer different content in the WAN show. " then "This thread is not about feedback or constructive criticism at all. It's just complaining that WAN show focuses more on LTT Store more now. WAN show has changed, deal with it."  

    so which is it?
     
    anyway you must be too young to get the photos reference and even if you were a spaceball (white knight for linus) you have to admit the photo is pretty fucking awesome.   I am biased for sure, but my god its genius and well done.

    Its getting a bit old,  how do you guys put up with this crap?  listening to LInus whine about how hes not making any money on the Sales, then brags about how many bags and screwdrivers he sold.  $100k+ in sales and the guy has the nerve to tell you buy other stuff so he gets better margins?   Trust me,  Linus is not losing a single dime on 95% of those products.   Maybe a few of the trash products no one wanted but thats always expected from any clothing company.

    It is marketing. Any time they talk about their own products or mention ltt store, that's advertising and therefore marketing.
     
    But is still marketing.
     
    So explain it, you keep gong around in vague circles without saying anything.

    Again, if you think it's valid to shut down complaints by telling someone to just not engage with the thing they're complaining about then you should do the same! Don't engage with this thread. You clearly don't like the criticisms that were raised. Practice what you preach. That's the inherent irony of this line of argument, whenever you tell someone to shut up about something and just move on, you make yourself the target of that same cudgel.
     
    It's clear that you have trouble accepting this cognitive dissonance, which is why you try so desperately to create distinctions where there are none or just feebly resort to personal attacks like me apparently lacking understanding but you doing absolutely nothing to improve on that state. This is the typical defensive posturing of someone who realizes they've argued themselves into a corner and can't just admit that what they said was either incorrect or hypocritical. That's why you also can't answer my simple questions. I'm not here to convince you that your line of reasoning isn't correct. I just gave you a taste of your own medicine. What you do with that is up to you.

    No, this is an awful take. If you enjoyed something or see the potential of what it could be, it's only natural to offer feedback for improvement. This is doubly true if you feel something has degraded in the qualities that mattered to you. Giving feedback is important and every content creator should welcome said feedback. Whatever the creator decides to do is up to them. But to shut it down entirely is nonsensical and everybody who tries to shut down feedback as an unrelated third party does arguably more harm than the critic.
     
    Also, the popularity argument is nonsense. If you aim for the lowest common denominator, quality or vision be damned, you can sack the show entirely and become a content mill that churns out low quality bullshit with clickbait titles and terrible thumbnails. "It isn't for you" is a nice sentiment, but it's rarely true if something was for you but no longer is due to changes that are well worth criticizing. Again, whatever LMG decide to do with that criticism is up to them, they're under no obligation to heed any of it. But the point is that trying to shut down the criticism with trite retorts is just not appropriate. It's borderline offensive.
     
    And you know how I know that your take is awful? You decided to chime in and voice your disapproval. This point always makes itself, because the person saying "don't like it, don't read/listen/watch it" can always be made the direct target of the same retort: Don't like my criticism? Don't read it.

    As someone who just doesn't care about the merch I have to agree, the show is losing its appeal. But I also recognize that it's Linus and Luke talking about whatever they want and the merch stuff is a big part of their daily lives. So it's on me to stop watching I guess.

    Why do people feel the need to state the obvious? 
    - I don't like the latest TV show
    - You don't have to watch it
    - The latest album by band X is disappointing
    - Well, you don't have to listen to it
    - This game is boring
    - You know you don't have to play it right?
     
    Of course they don't have to watch it, it doesn't mean people should never discuss the quality of anything. And it's a discussion forum, FFS, the whole point is for people to discuss things beyond consuming them or not! And you know what? You don't have to read this thread (well, maybe @LogicalDrm actually has to because of his role 😛).
     
    There's a huge difference between you liking it and it not being true - in fact, the discussions you enjoy kind of prove OP's point. Objectively, the WAN Show has grown longer and more merch-centric. Whether each of us like it or not is subjective.
     
     
    Yeah, I think it boils down to them not having enough time to spend in something as unprofitable as the original WAN show. They just could no longer justify it on the basis of them enjoying it alone. It probably got close to being axed at some point (can't remember if they said so themselves), so it mutated into this more bottom-line-oriented format, which kept it alive. To some, that's a good thing; to others, it might as well have ended if this was the cost of keeping it alive.
     
    Personally, I think I could still splice together a 60-minute show from different segments, maybe 90 minutes in a good day, that would more or less work the same way as older WAN shows for me. But until some ML algorithm does it automatically for me, it's getting harder to play it through (even as a VoD, the "good bits" could be anywhere, from news topics to random tangents off audience questions, and same goes for the "filler" - merch promotion, uninteresting merch messages, etc). Even leaving the length aside, I find myself clicking away from it more often, rather than just letting it play in the background.

    I know Jake is ok and playing along with innuendo.  But its quite sad to see a CEO of company who prides themselves on how well he treats his staff. To openly sexually harass staff in his videos im pretty sure breaks any sort of "code of conduct " in their employment contracts..   I know he's quite immature and likes his fart jokes etc.  But I thought linus would have more class than this.. I Know this is going to turn into a flame war,  i mean theres no real defending him.  I mean theres video of it, and again my point is, if this happened in another industry or between a male and female, it would be unacceptable.  He should really lead by example,
