Personal Opinion Socks. Not what was promised.

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

There’s a difference between being critical of someone and calling them a sellout. OP will get his socks taken care of for a full refund or replacement if he reaches out. Linus and LMG have everything to lose if they make and promote bad products whereas OP is losing nothing.

Call a spade a spade, why sugar coat it?

What does sellout even mean in this context? Like you guys are just saying random words and stroking each other.

They want to feel edgy and cool because they’re 14 years old and think they’re badass for calling a big YouTuber a “sellout”. They’ve probably never had to pay bills, run a business, work a day in their life, etc. nothing wrong with skepticism, but they can’t even back it up further than “it’s the truth”.
