I'm guessing it's going to be a nothing burger like this whole situation , but I will come back to this comment after I watch itOkay im 20mins in and first of all way Louis is being way to emotional.So far all he has said about Linus is pretty valid, but for some reason he's treating Steve like some small 16 year old that just started his tech channel so we shouldn't be so harsh.

"nothingburger" literally outs you as a linus troll, try not all literally saying the same phrase while pretending to have independent thought (-19)

I've watched both the WAN segment clip and parts of the show itself, I at this time no longer remember its original content. So I went to rewatch it quickly + threw it into a transcript generator.Not at any point did Linus apologise or address his own fricking statement. He literally began with a script of the clip Steve played on his channel, yet didn't think to address its "context" and "intention". It was a 22 minute holier-than-thou dress down at Steve.Though it should be pointed out Steve's own management of the situation hasn't been terribly great, adding much ammunition to the people defending Linus, and the root cause of the drama: Linus SHOULD have addressed the Honey thing publicly when they found out.

What statement does linus need to apologise for? Yeah this is the point. Steve made snide comments about linus OUT OF FRICKING CONTEXT in the honey video. But here, let me ELI5 it for you. Here's the full timeline of events regarding LTT and honey with full context.1) Linus releases a video about adblock being similar to privacy and how it hurts creators to use it since it blocks their ad revenue. This part is crucial to the story because the community was PISSED at this.2) 2 months later LTT drop Honey as a sponsor and make a post about it on their forum. Keep in mind LTT were not the only ones doing this amd there were already articles outlining what honey was doing at the time. It was not a secret LTT discovered.3) steve drops his 2023 expose about linus with no right to reply being followed which resulted in numerous mistakes but he did have fair criticisms of LTT and linus responded by taking action to fix those mistakes. He has NEVER said the criticisms were wrong btw.4) Megala... (8)

sorry mate, no leftists say "nothingburger" we have brains and culture (-4)

Yeah I don't usually comment on things but this was just such a... Profoundly stupid statement. It's not about left or right. This is exactly the thing that's the problem with the world today, everything has to be political. You can't just have different opinions and experiences than other people. Heck, 90% of the time I've heard nothingburger was in the context of someone saying the trump felony charges were nothing burgers. That doesn't make me associate it with the right. This is a childish argument to begin with. Just move on (3)

I mean, all I did was see people who said they weren't gonna watch it and figured maybe a summary would help people form an opinion that wasn't completely based on assuming what the video said. You can spin that however you want.If you really don't care about this situation, why are you here again? Like you could've just not come into the thread. (3)

Because we live in a hellscape of algorithm driven content and despite not being subbed to either LTT or GN subreddits this ridiculous clout sharking content from GN has infested reddit 'recommended posts' for weeks now.I also mentioned I love seeing people effort post to justify a preference as a 'fact' as well to be fair.There's something fundamentally frustrating seeing, otherwise tech literate communities, rewrite history to pretend Honey wasn't widely known to be a scam years ago. Heck, just rewatching Dan Olsen's video "The Nostalgia Critic and The Wall" from 2021 there's a casual reference to 'data harvesting scam, Honey' from four years ago, but I'm supposed to believe it was only LTT who had this secret information that were solely responsible for blowing the lid off Paypal Honey? Even I, figured it out myself when 'Honey gold' started popping up at carts when I had the extension installed.While criticism of LTT that has been paired with this Honey drama is often valid, the...
