Linus Torvalds is still a Git
At least he wasn’t caught promoting a browser extension that turned out to be a huge scam that stole money from both regular people and other content creators trying to earn some affiliate revenue.
A lot of creators were tricked into that. The problematic part was that they realized the issue and completely went silent about the issue instead of raising awareness of the scam. Alerting about that fact would have been a great tech tip.
I think they were not aware of the scam that screwed over users at the time, only the one that screwed themselves over
Absolutely, that may be important. LTT were only aware of the extension screwing over the creators, not that the customers were also getting screwed.
They said they found out at around the same time as all the other creators, so breaking it into a video wouldn't have mattered for anyone. The people they assumed were affected at the time already knew and were dropping the sponsorships.
Right, and we don’t know why anyone would choose to remain silent if they’re aware of the issue, unless they were paid to sign an NDA.
He does tend to name things after himself doesn't he?
Well he was about to name it freax or somethin and someone else named it linux iirc
Hey, but he admits it!
