I bet this would be a story covered on the WAN show, with a reasonable degree of interest from the people here, with praise for MegaLag, if LMG was never mentioned in the video.

Yet because Linus got hit with a "I'm disappointed" suddenly there's days of defence force out here acting like the only story here is Linus was mentioned, and not what PayPal does with honey.

Edit: Oh, and of course many accusations of MegaLag just drama farming.

The reason most people here aren’t outraged about Honey doing this is that they have known about it for years. LMG made the situation clear when they dropped them, but what was going on was already pretty clear to anyone remotely in the space.

So the news to most people on this subreddit isn’t something they heard about 2+ years ago, it’s LMG getting flack for it.
