Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based discussion.

I do not. I just use them in RSS feed since they aggregate stories from multiple sources which avoids having 10 entries of the same story.
Most English news media for some reason didn’t bother to include the footage of people leaving the plane handcuffed, but it does exist.
Please source that claim. All the news reports I saw reported the opposite.
Yeah, author is confused. Later down the article it says 2021.
Daniel Ball of Florida was detained for an illegal firearm possession charge, a case that predated but emerged from his involvement in the 2021 Capitol insurrection.
It would be plausible if the number was recently changed. But it was old number and there were many conversations on the new number dating back to LTX and LTT channel hack.
Then they also reviewed the video script and included the message from that old number in their video. It would have been caught if it was a mistake.
And what do people do when they make an honest mistake? Oh, apologize. Haven’t seen them doing that. No it was well planned and executed.
Back then it wasn’t known to be scamming its users, only creators.
Absolutely nobody disputes that. But that’s not the criticism of them. It’s their excuse instead.
Which was also Linus reasoning for why they didn’t make a huge deal out of it because if they told the audience „btw, that thing that saves you money costs us money, so would you be so kind as to not use it so we can make more money instead“, they would have been the assholes back then.
That is pure gaslighting. They could have easily said:
We recently learned that one of our sponsors turned out to be stealing affiliate revenue from creators and as a result we are dropping them as a sponsor and making this video to spread the news. That said if you still find it useful, you can keep using it to save money when shopping.
They would have been praised by their audience, consumers and creators.
The irony of Tesla having issues with tariffs can’t be missed.
It’s a minor offense. Carrying a small fine and 6 months in jail.
How does that justify treating them as violent criminals?
I wouldn’t expect if it was random recommendation in one of their videos. But yes, it is their responsibility to notify about it when they got paid thousands of dollars to promote it.
Because they got paid thousands of dollars to promote it. When you accidentally promote a scam on your channel, you then go and apologize on the same channel when you learn about it. It’s basic accountability.
They did that with their other sponsors they dropped for lesser reasons like Private Internet Access. Even the whole scandal with Asus was handled better even if they tuned out to be lairs and went back to working with them.
Ask wannabe dictator Bolsonaro how things turned out to him in Brazil.
Since it’s a non-governmental campaign that is organizing it I don’t think there is enforced rules, but the organizers are supporting four-day, 32-hour working week petition so that is probably the baseline.
<…> but the White House later announced that Colombia had agreed to accept migrants - including those arriving on US military aircraft - “without limitation or delay”.
While Murillo did not directly refer to the White House statement, according to which Colombia had agreed to allow US military flights to take the deportees back, he did not deny it either.
He did agree to military planes based on existing reporting.
More like ethnic cleansing.
Being focused on your business is not an issue on its own. The infuriating part is the way postures himself as defender of that community and social media tech space in general when his actions go against them time and time again. The duplicity is what makes him unserious and untrustworthy.
It wasn’t a secret he saw the video early. https://gamers.nexus/ethics-statements/contact-vs-no-contact
What lack of objectivity do you see? From what I saw for every factual claim he provided sources/receipts and the rest was his opinion.
Class, norms and decorum.
Signed, forever losers Democrats
US doesn’t have rule of law anymore, not sure why he’s acting so surprised…
zips his lips
