In fairness, being an entertainer who makes technical knowledge more accessible is a great thing that should be applauded; there is value in being a communicator rather than an expert... Until you mislead people and fail to maintain a certain level of integrity/credibility. I'm not huge on the idea that we should look down on people for not being the very most technical of experts, but I DO feel we need to hold people accountable when they prioritize profit over integrity
Ok fair. But I think he repeatedly shows himself to be incompetent and his response to being called out strikes me as very narcissistic.

I think that's a pretty reasonable perspective to have at this point. Did you see the update gamers nexus did covering linus's response on his forums? Linus implied some things in an offhanded way about the situation with the startup's water block, and when gamers nexus checked with the startup, it made the way Linus framed things seems EXTREMELY explicitly dishonest. Honestly the situation seems to be getting worse, not better.
