Until 7/31/21, 33% of all profits from sales of GN posters will be split and donated to the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) and to Fight to Repair! Both organizations are focused on repairability of products, reduction of e-waste, and legal protections for consumers to truly own maintain their own devices.
If you prefer, we also support your decision to donate directly (even if it's instead of buying a poster -- do whatever you feel is right! We support these causes and are happy with anything that also supports them). You can find the groups here:
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF): https://www.eff.org/
Fight to Repair: https://www.fighttorepair.org/

Errata/correction: The mining operation in Ukraine was actually for in-game currency items, which is even crazier to believe than the original story!

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
