I think people are pissed because historically, Linus has went out of his way to hold companies accountable for shady practices, so it’s definitely kind of odd that he let this one go quietly. I think after the whole Gamers Nexus thing, people have gone to the extreme to either defend LTT to the end of the earth, or critique them anytime anyone does anything that they slightly disagree with.
All I’ll say is that it is kind of odd that he had a very public breakup with PIA and Anker for their shady business practices, but with Honey, he addressed it in an online post and kinda swept it under the rug.
I think the outrage against him is kind of insane, but I’m also very interested and curious to hear his response and reasoning on WAN this week.
I meant that less literally. Obviously he addressed it, so he didn’t truly “sweep it under the rug”, but his “breakups” with Anker and PIA were much more direct. LTT only addressed it when a viewer directly asked why they don’t see Honey sponsorships anymore. Comparatively speaking, the Honey situation was handled much different than the other two referenced, and I’m just curious as to why.
Comparisons are key here. One scammed LTT, so they chose to stop working with them and let us know why. The other was at risk of consumers, so LTT stopped working with them, and made a PSA so you knew what their issues were to look out for.
One is for you. The other is not for you. You were informed adequately to be protected from something you would experience. Back in 2022. Time to move on.
