He isn't a bad person, does a lot of good for the IT and repair community.
But with his recent behavior of bringing emotions into the GN v LMG debacle kind of did sour my opinion of him a bit. There were even comments that were removed by him calling him out on some of the shit he was saying.
I just watched the video and in all sincerity I could not see anything wrong with it. Genuinely asking what was bad about it? He just did an 8 min follow up too which seems objectively right.
This is one of the removed comments, which I agree with.
From what I can remember, the LTX thing that Louis brought up was after Linus had apologized for and then they did a colab video where it seemed they buried the hatchet on the main channel in a video where Steve and Louis both called out Linus for not doing in regards to Honey. Louis bringing that up again felt like the cliche arguing with your wife that never fails to forget some little slight you did years ago.
It all seems like jealousy on the part of Steve's behalf especially since Linus was recently on the Tonight Show then Steve changed parts of his website to not claim to be a journalist and Louis buying into it hook line and sinker. Steve is better off staying in the investigative journalist role and Rossmann would do better not getting into youtuber drama.
Were they removed by him, or were they automatically removed? I've seen some extremely egregious auto moderating on YouTube lately.
The ones that are speaking out against him have all been removed, and I doubt YouTube would do that automatically. Found a very in depth comment on my TV but couldn't on 3 other devices.
Ah yeah that's pretty solid evidence. My own experience has been with my own comments getting removed, and it happening far too quickly to be manual moderation. If you actually saw someone else's comment, and then noticed it gone, it's hard to call that anything other than a deliberate silencing of their viewpoint.
