Linus is so wrong here.
"I expressed my disappointment that he didn’t go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece. He has my email and number (along with numerous other members of our team) and could have asked me for context that may have proven to be valuable"
It's exactly the opposite, by not giving Linus a preview of the material, and allowing him input on it. Steve has secured the journalistic integrity of the content.
Linus had a chance to address the content publicly and is opting not to do it.
"Most of what I have to say, I’ve already said, and I’ve done so privately."
He clearly thinks we are not worth keeping informed so I'm going to be unsubscribing and no longer consuming any LTT content.
Overall this response sucks. No accountability, plenty of deflection and missing the point. Vague talk of being more accurate in the future, so I'm supposed to just wait and consume inaccurate content in the mean time? No thanks.
Ditto, if I can't even tell what the video will be about from the title OR the thumbnail I'm not watching it.
