I don't
but I mean
I do have nearly 9000 posts on the fuckers forum
The forum ain't bad tbh
>i dont care about it
>i have 9000 posts there
what does he mean by that <:thenk:329322130804047872>
I don't care about the dude himself
but the forum I nolifed at one point
helped me find out that human stupidity is still in the genepool to a large extent
Why do people care about that channel? He shilled himself on /g/ until he became a forced meme
Not particularly.
He mostly appealed to the 'normies getting into tech' audience
as well as "i'm fucking retarded and no idea how to build PC" audience
He's definitely milquetoast, but there's nothing really detestible about him.
inb4 the buttmad that arose from him telling someone pirating and reposting his videos to fuck off
I'm close with the dude who ran the VesselRips discord and was a mod on the sub
essentially the entire situation boiled down to some dude hosting his videos on a domain
and the domain had.... his name on the whois
so
linus tracked him down fairly easily
told him to stop
for a while
then just blocked the country of Canada on Cloudflare and took the site back up
>trying to geoblock someone who shills tunnelbear regularly
<:shiggy:232792354610872320>
Yep
He realised real quick
emailed him again
and he took it down for real after being threatened with a lawsuit
Linus fan base everyone

Meh. I hope Floatplane or w/e is successful, if only because Google shouldn't have so much of a stranglehold on the livelihoods of video content creators
If you get floatplane you get a forum badge
I've seen a lot of people with em
I...don't care? I haven't posted on an actual forum since like, 2009
the future is now, old man
I'm fairly sure it's actually pretty successful
I feel bad for Cody's Lab, too
getting bullied by youtube for his genuinely informative videos, meanwhile there's gorillians of WE ARE NUMBER ONE BUT FIRE UP THOSE FRIERS EVERY TIME HE SAYS "WE ARE NUMBER ONE"
I don't mind Linus
