Kudos to Niccolò for openly speaking about his mistake of incorrectly stating his video was not sponsored. However I think he made a second mistake which is more serve. As a content creator he must pay more attention to what companies he's accepting sponsorship from. Given the track record of malibal, this should have been a red flag in the first place.
That comes from a position of privilege though. Getting to choose which companies sponsor you is only viable if your channel is large or you have multiple options to pick from.
i buy from linux hardware companies and malibal was so bizarre that they're the only ones i haven't yet purchased from and now i know that i never will.
Is this like a shitpost, or one of these Clickbait Videos where someone tries to download linux and they just tripped some captcha system, so now they clickbait that to infinity?

When you let anyone make a “TV channel” even when they don’t have a legal team.

It’s a privilege to not have to worry about making a living.

Its about Malibal, an infamous linux/windows hardware company. The person in the video is a KDE dev (Niccolo).

additionally Brodie Robertson did a video about Malibal banning countries back in October: Youtube, PeerTube
with one post, Malibal turned itself into a joke
