A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I felt the same and was wary to even watch this. Seems like something to discuss privately first. But it’s full of solid points, and I think the amount of public mistakes from LMG makes it a little easier to accept.
The last time something like this happened it was made clear GN was going to cover LMG as the corporation it is, not as an individual where you might hash things out privately first.
What frustrates me is that if you're going in under the guise of journalistic integrity, why not ask for comment from LMG?
Steve made a lot of solid points, but if you never give them a chance to explain themselves, then it just looks like drama click bait. It's turning me off to techtubers as a whole, both LMG and GN. The backbiting from GN is frustrating, and the maddening pace of faulty LMG videos is sad.
It's true that would be the ideal way to go about this. However, I'm also weighing that vs Linus saying this should've been handled privately (which implies off the record).
Based, even if it makes high school me sad
