My biggest complaint is how Linus is still saying he's not sorry about what he did, at least it doesn't seem genuine, instead he is still apologizing that he didn't realize what the community wanted.
He shouldn't care what the community wants. He should always strive for accurate data, ethical partnerships, and correcting mistakes when they still make it through because they always will.
Linus is doubling down on his opinions, hiding mistakes, doing the bare minimum to fix them, and needs public outcry and the heavy hand of the other executives in LTT to see any course change.
As all this unfolds, I am more drawn towards the opinion that I don't care that much about the GN call out, because those things can be fixed. I just don't care that much about tech entertainment being dry as bones to ensure accuracy, but am a lot more concerned about the posts from ex-employee Madison about how she was treated.
Sounds like they have made themselves a bit of a mini Blizzard culture. Crunch and sexism abound.
I have a feeling of "I told you so" because I had mentioned how LTT always just felt like shills and something about Linus just didn't sit right with me years ago when I first started hearing about the channel and decided to check it out. I couldn't prove anything, you know. I just had this gut feeling about how things were presented, the way he talked, etc that things weren't what they seemed and he's probably a fucked up guy behind the scenes.
Turns out I was right.
He came a long way from the depressed linus meme of years ago
