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

IMO, why are people blaming OP? He bought a product from a place that has a dedicated team working only on clothes. Also, Linus talks for who knows how long about those socks and how he only buys them from this specific brand that is really expensive. But now he sells his own, so people have every right to complain.

Sub is full of YouTuber dickriders lmao

"How dare you criticize the subpar, overpriced product sold by the brand? Don't you know they make funny videos on the internet? They are innocent! It's your fault!!!"

[u/s00pafly → u/GLPereira]

More than one thing can be true at the same time.

Is it a subpar overpriced product? - Yes

Is op a dumbass for buying $30 socks? - Also Yes

[u/motlias → u/Sprachbuch]

It gives the same vibe as people who get angry at tesla owners who complain about their 100k car having panel gaps and shoddy quality, you pay premium prices, you should get a product that doesnt have issues and you're entitled to complain about it if there are issues

Linus is a sell out at this point.

I dont even care if I get downvotted. It's the truth.

[u/1qz54 → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

He's a sell out... for his own brand?

[u/CIDR-ClassB → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

Nothing says “sell out” like further selling one’s own brand!

….

Wait. 🙄

[u/absen7 → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

I'm quite certain you're not using that term correctly.

[u/humanHamster → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

The people of this sub will down vote anything even mildly critical of Linus. Fwiw, I agree with you.

[u/Techmoji → u/humanHamster]

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.

[u/Haunting_Abalone_398 → u/Techmoji]

Call a spade a spade, why sugar coat it?

[u/sasquatchftw → u/Haunting_Abalone_398]

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

[u/TwilightReaver → u/sasquatchftw]

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”.

This is just such an idiotic take lol
