    As a bystander just here for the popcorn and drama, would someone mind explaining what Floatplane is and how it pertains to LTT and LMG?

      Floatplane is the video hosting service that they created and own. Instead of being ad supported it requires a monthly fee for each content creator on it (in the vein of only fans or patreon). So a loss of subs is a direct loss of monthly income for LTT.

          It is not. It also has a lot of the not political gun youtubers on it, as wrll as various other hobby interests.

            DankPods also has quite a few channels on there and does his drum streams there too. I wonder if people subscribed to non-LMG channels are unsubbing, figured Floatplane’s attachment to LMG might cause collateral damage to creators only related through the service they’re using.
