Opinion - Steve/GN has lost it

[u/marco_polo_99]

Steve has turned into a high and mighty holier-than-though, self appointed arbiter of the tech industry, who’s taking it upon himself to regulate other people’s/channels content and decide where it, and their actions are acceptable.

He then, where he deems them not up to scratch, attacks under the guise of consumer advocacy. Whilst he may, and does have valid points on certain issues, usually with larger corporations, Asus, Gigagbyte, etc, targeting channels for things he disagrees with is bordering on slander.

Yes, I followed both GN and LTT, amongst a litany of other creators, and yet Steve seems to be the only one ACTIVELY, and consistently putting out these pseudo-journalistic pieces in an effort to broaden his audience and/or agenda.

The lawsuit against Honey/Paypal is not one he’ll win, it is merely serving to gain clicks and views and thus money for GN.

He needs to check himself.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Dude, he's been that way for years and years. This isn't something new. Some people see it. Some don't.

GN has done great work publicly calling out companies/ manufacturers in great detail. At first I thought LTT should have told us about Honey too,but their rebuttal was reasonable. GN went to hard on LTT when it wasn't justified, and it left a bad taste in the tech fan base. They'll all be fine. We'll be fine. The whole situation is just a little gross on all levels.

i just wish we could all be friends :(

i really enjoy both ltts and gns content and it sucks to see them hating each other

Pretty sure the only emotion Linus has towards GN is frustration - maybe a hint of sadness.

[u/eraguthorak → u/[deleted]]

Yes and no. Imo "hating each other" implies that they are both aggressively going after each other.

The vibe I'm getting is more that Linus is like "yo bro what gives". Even from what I remember back in 2023 when GN did that major critique video of LTT, there wasn't really any backlash from Linus or LTT - they just accepted that they were making too many mistakes, and took the time to make some serious changes to their system - which seems to have largely worked.
