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

and he did as such

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

>not buying who.is protection

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

Makes ok content

He knows who's he's targeting

12 year old gaymers?

/r/pcmasterrace?

>ok content

People who don't sniff their own farts because they know how to play grownup legos?

>ok content

It is ok lol

Its not

Lol
