As all this unfolds, I am more drawn towards the opinion that I don't care that much about the GN call out, because those things can be fixed. I just don't care that much about tech entertainment being dry as bones to ensure accuracy, but am a lot more concerned about the posts from ex-employee Madison about how she was treated.

This just confirmed my opinion of Linus as an utter twat and probable sociopath.
His reactions to things like Project Farm's review of his overpriced screwdriver, and the constant, blatant submarining of Linux and opensource tells you what kind of person he is. None of the behaviour I've seen in this latest installment is surprising. Everything is done to get view numbers up, even monetizing the apology FFS.
But the fanbois gonna fan regardless, and he'll come away with more money after this than before because of it.
