~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~

~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

I watch the WAN show, as it seems to be the last LTT property approaching genuine (if you skip the merch messages). But Linus use of the "for the people" really rubs me the wrong way. He can't be a big boy and take a position or make a decision without outsourcing it to "the people", seems to prove he is completely out of touch.

No hate to Luke or Dan, I like them. Luke deserves a fucking metal for the "hard R" save.

Can you give examples? I don't know what you mean.

Like when they stopped production for a week he needed to do a poll to see if he should run the WAN show that week.

Like wise when he was thinking about investing in framework he had to ask the people if that was a good idea.

Well, the people are ultimately who decide if he continues to be employed

You're upset someone who makes content for a community asks that community what they think?
