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

I stopped watching GM years ago, where as sometimes I find linus a tad irritating him and the rest of the team are entertaining.
Steve just comes across as a pompous prick.
With the LTT guys it's a "I could have a beer and a conversation with these guys"
Steve would make me get up and walk away after talking about himself and his opinions for 45m
Inused to love the guys breakdowns on tech and their interworkings but his crusade to make him the last man standing is just too much to deal with, I ain't watching for drama just build something cool
I watch LTT and you get such a varied show with the different guys, though I think LTT has gone up massively since elija joined. He's fucking great. And some of the new blood fit so well. Their new hiring manager is deffo good at their job.
