Yup, 6374 140kv 10mm D-type, which is my shaft preference.
That has to be bait for Brian, I refuse to believe 10mm D shaft is your go-to

Iâd avoid honey. Whenever you click an affiliate link to support a YouTuber or anything, it sneakily replaces it with their affiliate link. I believe it doesnât visibly change the url, so theyâre being sneaky about it
Also the data harvesting.
I personally donât support shitty business practices like this, and honestly honey has never saved me more than like a dollar on AliExpress. I donât think honey has given me any significant savings, and Iâve sure as hell made them lots of money.

i donât think thatâs possible unless the website does not show which discount code u r using, pretty sure it doesnât work like that in amazon either.
iâve just saved 9usd on aliexpress for my 105usd order, sure thatâs not much, but it actually made the entire order free shipping
if data harvesting is ur concern, u can toggle the honey extension to never check price until u click on the icon

Hopefully we get some good deals this year 
websites like amazon donât have affiliate codes, rather the affiliate info is stored in the URL. It just replaces theirs with honey
i donât think honey can change url address, nor the data packet sent / receive. unless there is a clever trick to mask the honey affiliate url with the one u click on
Isnât every website and app these days?
I remember seeing a video essay about Honeyâs business model and this was in the video

i will have a dig, but i also would be concerned if honey is shady and LTT is still recommending it to people
Yeah Linus also advertises a couple of VPNs, and almost all of them are at best snake oil (privacy is a real issue, but spying from ISPs is not the biggest concern that 99% of people should be worried about and VPNs are just rent-seeking middlemen that want a recurring revenue stream) or at worst actively stealing and selling data themselves.
LTT makes a lot of noise about editorial ethics but also have mountains of sponsored spots where they repeat manufacturer talking points with a couple of ânow I have to say this part isnât the most amazing in the worldâ thrown in

i guess we canât really trust anything these days 
I might be wrong, but seems like the addon has permission to do anything.
Honey claims they get their revenue from the sites sharing a profit from the purchase. Why would a site voluntarily share their money with a 3rd party? Well, ideally just because it would increase sales by convincing more people to checkout, if they have a discount code. However, I suspect that the real reason is because Honey might purposefully not apply an even better coupon code it managed to find. Which would put store owners between a rock and a hard place â either share part of the revenue, or donât share, but let Honey save users even more money. Just a conspiracy theory I came up with, no idea if itâs true 
After McAffee bought Tunnelbear they werenât comfortable continuing their relationship with them, since McAffee is a US company. (The government could secretly demand data logs, see Warrant canary - Wikipedia if youâve never heard about such things).
The VPN service they promote/advertise currently is Private Internet Access (PIA), which has been proven in court of law to not hold any logs. Many privacy advocates consider them the trustworthy VPN service people should use.
Just wanted to defend LTT, since they definitely do end sponsorhips when users complain / have a bad experience / sponsor cannot be trusted.
Btw this needs to be moved to derail jail, sorry everyone
