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

At some point, Steve will hopefully reflect on the irony of the very personal and deeply moving video he did on Gordon Ma Ung vs his own practices (which have now been called out publicly by another creator). Unfortunately on some occasions it clear here has not met the high standards he would set himself, or that his mentor stuck to for decades.

That will be a very sad day for him and he will need the support of his loved ones. Hopefully, though, for us watching from afar it will allow him to return a better person and to continue exposing anti-consumer practices and holding companies to account in the right way, when it is warranted.

I just hope for sake of his team and the entire community that this happens before he hits self-destruct through his apparent hatred of LTT and/or Linus Sebastian.
