It is not well maintained. It blocks a ton of progressive related websites as well.

It's a good term, but idiots like to using it incorrectly are making it become irrelevant quickly.

This is not a correct usage of that term.

Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it's very clear what they mean.

She was a sort of side/mainish character in The Last Jedi.

I wholeheartedly agree. The worst enemy of Star wars is Star wars fans.

Remember Rose? All of that backlash was pure racism.

You're about 30 years off, but nice try.

You absolutely were talking about that. Maybe not as your main point, but it was part of your statement.

There it is, the dumbest thing I'll read all day.

Fun fact, the Foo fighters own all of their music. They're one of the few if only bands that actually do. The main reason is the fact that after Nirvana Dave grohl had fuck you money. This is one of the reasons why that band is so special. For them it is all about the music. It didn't start out as a struggle. All of their catalog is a passion project, and that's pretty cool.

That said, I doubt a lawsuit would really go anywhere.

"oh, geez, that's terrible."

 
 

How the fuck we haven't kicked these companies out of California yet completely baffles me.

 

You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

Gamers Nexus - HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response

 

My personal thoughts

At first it came off a bit whiney, but I watched the entire thing and I'm glad I did. It shows a pattern of carelessness and in some cases complete douchebaggery of LMG.

What they did to Billet Labs is absolutely un-fucking excusable. LMG and Linus, in particular, needs to be mercilessly shamed for that until Billet Labs gets a clear and unequivocal apology and paid restitution for damages. Fucking shameful. What a bunch of pricks.

Video Description

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.
