The only reason anyone hyper focuses on GN is because Linus had a big narcissistic meltdown over being “betrayed” cause he thought his relationship with steve gave him the inside line to shutdown/have editorial say on stories about him/ltt, and thus went on an enormous goddamn tantrum over GN and its “betrayal” of him, when all it did was report facts.
Thats the only reason anyone hyperfocuses on GN. all GN did is repudiate claims and report news, and they did it with facts and receipts, to disprove all the bullshit that LTT spread in a desperate bid to save his image.
LMG had 3 big controversies that deserved being covered.
One was his “Just trust me bro, y u not trustin me bro” warranty on overpriced backpacks.
the whole controversy around billet labs video card heatsink which linus did so much wrong with that you’d be hard pressed to think it wasnt malicious, between using it on the wrong video card that it didnt fit and calling it shit, to not giving it back when requested, to selling it at auction, to lying about having spoken to billet and that they accepted his apology and made a plan to make amends while also having a big public meltdown making a joke of the whole thing and basically sic’ing his fans on GN for not talking to him privately so he could convince steve to not run the story or edit it in his favor. GN was not the only place reporting on this shit, GN was only the focus because Linus thought he could exert control and like a typical narcissist melted down when he couldnt.
And the latest one was the honey issue, Which he knew about, and silently stopped doing honey spots… while sitting back and watching honey steal from all his co creators.
Any one of which is a valid news thing to report on.
what scandal chasing?
