I'm not a big Linus fan, but I do honestly see him as a victim in this. As I stated above this was some "nobody" who probably drew the short straw for giving tours and those other people who made the video posted it, Linus' group did not post a video calling out HWU & GN, they didn't "approve the message" that was being said, but GN wanted to be a Gigachad and attacked the entire Linus group. Now granted Linus could have simply said "we're sorry for what was said, the guy was not told to say that, and we in no way believe HWU & GN are inferior to us" and I think all would have been fine ... but Linus being Linus had to try and explain away everything and just made himself look more and more sus.That apology video had some good parts but as a whole seemed completely tone deaf. Just wow, how is Linus still playing victim.
Guy's success obviously went way into his head and turned him into a narcissist. Just gtfo with excuses and whining already, own your idiot mistakes and just shut it. It really isn't that hard (that is unless you have an unfettered ego)
So yeah I do think GN went off the rails with their initial video, but Linus' response to it was equally lame, and by the looks of it everyone wants to get in the last word and they just make themselves seem ... yeah.
