I find the LTT stupid ideas like watercooling his server room funny but without Sponsorblock it’s a pain.

Also their merch … this is so overpriced. A screwdriver for 70 dollar, when nearly the same product costs 20.

But there are enough people that buy that stuff.

As far as I'm aware it's a similar price to screwdrivers of similar quality. Much cheaper options exist but I wouldn't call them "nearly the same".

LTT themselves said they worked with Megapro to make a slightly modified version of their screwdriver. The original is $33.

They licensed the required patents from Megapro, but the internals of the screwdriver are bespoke and higher quality than the Megapro equivalent.
