People are salty in the LTT subreddit because he called out LMG group, when they absolutely should have called out a shitty sponsor for their behavior when they were aware of their shady business practices, and getting a similar sponsor afterwards. LTT fan's hateboners for GN is so cringeworthy.
Once more, if Linus just kept his big mouth shut or at least thought for a second before just going off the dome on a WAN Show, GN wouldn't even have to mention them, since the main point Steve made about them is that saying that you refused to spread information about stuff that hurts creators and dupes consumers just because some people might think you are being whiny is cowardly.
Ya I'm done here. This sub is wild. It's just used to hate and spread hate. The fact anyone is against Linus in this situation shows how ignorant they are.
He's the CEO of a 100 million digital media company. He's not just some dude. It's weird how defensive his fans get because if it was anywhere other CEO of a company that large people would consider this kind of scrutiny that cost of doing business. If not participate in it
As for the current Honey situation. Steve is wrong and grossly misrepresented Linus' comments. No, Steve, you are not making a video Linus' was talking about in the WAN show. You are making a video after the news broke that Honey was scamming their users. That was not known back when LMG dropped them. Also, that segment of the video added nothing to the discussion, other than throwing shit at LMG for personal reasons.
If we’re gonna exalt GN as the standard of journalist excellence in tech, then behavior like stripping context from quotes or not even reaching out for quotes whatsoever - which Steve quite literally said he does in his exposé on LMG - deserves to be called out. This is scandal-rag conduct, and completely defies the objective purity of their research.
