  • Linus’ employees were the ones trying to use the GN name to up their own reputation, GN called them on that and it ripped the company apart. They had to put in the new CEO, they last floatplane subs. In that whole back and forth, GN made like 2 vids and Linus was permanently affected.

    During the honey thing, like dozens of creators called out Linus for not blowing the whistle publically on honey when he knew exactly that they were doing months before the news broke. LINUS hyper focused on GN talking about it because GN had already hurt them so badly.

    It’s a feedback loop where Linus knows which knife cuts him the deepest, so he’s focused on blunting that edge. It’s transparent at best.


  • I genuinely can’t imagine feeling that way. GN produces a crazy amount of hardware related content. They delivered a near fatal blow to Linus’ ego because of how silly the comparison of the Linus slophouse compared to GN was when it happened. But like the number of times GN has covered Linus compared to the damage they did is incredible. Count the coverage on one hand for GN vs the evisceration LTT experienced.

    You know GN doesn’t give a shit when they didn’t even cover the jet, or several of the highest profile on camera employees leaving. Which is free money. I think I see people who see GN as solely anti-Linus as approaching from poor faith. Which maybe some other people do as well.










  • You can see it now very clearly. The meta is massive blocks of text with a dozen citations that must take an incredible amount of time to create, or are being assisted by an LLM. If you don’t reply to doubt or trolling with 10,000 words, you ain’t really communist.

    They’ve created a Facebook Christian type prosetylization communication style that is both super comfy to members and even more isolating to outsiders. Your knowledge must be doctoral level.

    It looks like when bones of the moon would post the sovereign citizen shit. Then if you even slightly call it out you get modded off. So these posts are just paragraphs and paragraphs of replies full of citations replying to deleted comments. It’s crazy to see how the echo chamber has progressed over time.
