At least, some of the recent controversies.

    Try just watching the video. Linus is to my eye being extremely genuine.

    I don’t get the absurd crusade to crucify someone one barely knows for a situation one barely understands in the name of what… Some self indulgent moral superiority?

    It happens every time. “Big publicly recognized figure/company/whatever makes a mistake” and everyone wants their life ruined, speculates to infinity and beyond, and writes off their humanity, etc. And it’s happening over increasingly trivial things.

    It’s an internet mob out on a witch hunt and it’s disgusting. This dude and his wife built a company from nothing that has been good to many many people from everything I’ve taken in over the years. They didn’t kill anyone, they screwed up some data in a YouTube video, an employee sold something they shouldn’t have (which Linus then tried to rectify), and some allegations have been made without proof by one former employee with no information from the LTT side (and no proof Linus or his team knew anything about the situation or its severity). Meanwhile, y’all are out here screaming for the demise of the whole damn thing, and to screw any second chances. It’s a completely disproportionate and unjustified response.

    I absolutely hate to see people treat other people in this way.

      There is tons of info in this thread about what happened. None of that was a mistake.

      Apparently you are just misinformed and seem to have no will to take in the relevant information, which renders your opinion on the matter meaningless.

        Maybe you should offer him an actual coutner-argument, instead of just saying “You’re wrong and uninformed”. You’re not even presenting an opinion on the story at all, which is even more meaningless than his actually relevant comments.

          The onus is not on me to inform him when he can scroll up and find the original gamers Nexus video, the LTT response, etc.

          His arguments have absolutely no basis. There is no point engaging with someone who refuses to inform themselves on all the very public information that is available. Especially when it can be gleaned by nearly zero effort
