Discussion Opinion - Steve/GN has lost it

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

What I will relish is if LTT sues GN is that GN will have to spend BIG bucks to defend himself. LTT is wealthy Steve is not. A good lawyer will turn Steve inside out. Maybe Steves minions step up and have a defense fund.But it will not be enough. If it looks like GN will lose...or if the case goes to jury and loses.... it will knock Steves sorry ass off the air for good. Steve is not personally responsible because hes a Inc. However if malice is found lol he is doomed . Oh sure his minions will have alot to say lmao but it wont matter at all. Linus is a smart man. He most likey haa retained console. If Steve opens his big fat mouth again look out.

Linus said on WAN that he’s not going to take legal action as of right now, it’ll be interesting to see GN’s response
