But crucially, Linus' response today suggested that reimbursement was already done and dusted, which was ostensibly not the case. As such I think a lot of people have lost trust in Linus specifically.
What's nuts is that he recently stepped down as CEO to focus on the video content. This would've been a great opportunity to stfu and let the new CEO handle communication. Instead his statement yesterday he acted like he was the victim
What's also crazy is that he turned down a large acquisition offer. If he took it and the same events happened, people would be at least blaming the acquiring company a bit and now it's all on Linus and Linus alone
Yeah, I thought about this today. I expect that the new CEO is not happy about Linus making a public response to the GN video.
