G+_Mark Swaim Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I sincerely had no idea a troll site like this existed until innocently doing a Google Search for Leo promoting Betterment. After reading the negative rant this troll posted with no identification who they are,I seriously think YouTube comments aren't as bad as this terrible sight. https://boycott-twit.com https://boycott-twit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Akira Yamanita Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 There's at least one other. It's a sad group of maybe five (tops) pathetic people with nothing better to do than to watch every TWiT podcast (and the live feed!) and follow the social media of every host just to find awkward moments to giggle about and to harass sponsors. Seriously, they're on top of every episode and the status of each host. They're basically stalkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have never cared for the phenomenon of "hate watching". I could never get along with anyone who dedicates their life to this disgusting task. I knew back in 2015 TWIT was being harassed by trolls.I thought they had moved on since then.I became aware tonight I was wrong. I'd recommend a cease and desist to the troll sight.But I can't think of a legal reason Google would de-list the sight under freedom of speech.

G+_Steve Adams Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I've seen the Drama one. It's extremely odd & makes one concerned about their mental health & also genuine concern for the safety of the targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Agreed.It brings back bad memories of Leo reading the death threats some of these trolls have sent him. I'd like them to see the light and don't watch if they don't like it.But it's sad they don't care for that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Robert Nugent (DFH) Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm a huge Leo fan, but I must put on my grammar nazi uniform and point out that the word you want is "site" not "sight". dictionary.com - the definition of site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Rud Dog Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Jealousy can prompt people to do things they normally would not. It seems they observe talents Leo possess and struggle with there own inadequacies. My guess is when anyone raises above the crowd and provides entertainment and educates the masses there are a few for some odd reason that are offended.

G+_Harry Maciolek Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I cut back to one show because of Leo's constant political comments. That being said, it's Leo's company, and he can drive away viewers if he wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Harry Maciolek Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 SteveV I said it is was his network and he has the right to say anything he wants. I want programs about tech, not politics. It's really basic business. Don't alienate half your customer, or in this case viewer base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Adams Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Politics is part of life, will come up in discussions of society & technology (how can it not?). I don't think Leo or Twit are particularly political. I don't think anyone other than the most ignorant Trump supporters would be alienated by the politics in TWIT shows.

G+_Harry Maciolek Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Steve Adams Of course you don't, because you agree with his politics. You also seem to think, as Leo seems to, that Trump supporters are ignorant. And in that, you are profoundly in error. God bless President Trump, and God bless America.

G+_David Pick Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I would direct everyone discussing politics to follow Justin Robert Young and try his show Politics,Politics,Politics. While Leo may mention politics on any of his shows,that is not the emphasis or the point of the discussion. http://www.politicspoliticspolitics.com politicspoliticspolitics.com - Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Adams Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Harry Maciolek re: "Of course you don't, because you agree with his politics" Sometimes... I'm a Brit and I'm far more Green/Lefty than Leo :) As I say... only the MOST ignorant Trump supporters would be alienated by the politics in TWIT shows. You can enjoy the shows regardless of the politics... unless you can't... and then you have self identified into that group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Nugent (DFH) Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Harry Maciolek Trump supporters are ignorant (mostly -- some are filthy rich and know what a fraud he is, they just want their tax breaks and freedom to rob the poor). The problem is that they don't know they're ignorant. P.S.: God told me Trump's a fucking idiot and won't be getting his blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Robert Nugent To be clear,I didn't vote for Trump.But I had cousins who did vote for him and continue to support him. Believe it or not,not everyone is a racist troll who voted for Trump.Now I would urge you to give Justin's podcast a try. If politics is not your thing,then try "Unfriend Me" instead.Because your pretty loud in that anyone who voted for Trump is not your friend.

G+_Steven Renz Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Steve Adams yeah right....I’m sure if Leo was a trump supporter all you lefty’s would start a nasty hateful violent boycott and want to burn down his studio.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Adams Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Steven Renz then you haven't grasped any of this at all. What a stupid thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I probably should have known I posted a unknown troll web site for all to see.It most likely would bring about negative comments. I'll request,and everyone has the option to ignore me.But please refrain from further comments on left Vs right politics. The topic of this post was about trolls attacking and bad mouthing the TWIT Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
