Imposter syndrome is real. But being a tech god isn't what made you so well respected, it's your charisma and the ability to make topics that one doesn't understand easily digestible. Coupled that with your apparent thirst for knowledge.

IMO you're going to fly.

I just watched it, and am very excited to see where you go.

Video was great considering you've got so much to learn. And I know you're only going to get better as you learn more.

Looking forward to watching this. You're an inspiration.

One of my favourite parts is where Steve asks linus to add attribution to a segment in the podcast. Linus does so, Steve then says "thank you for your quick reply and action" but actually doesn't communicate that it was unsatisfactory

He then saves this, ready as a weapon to attack Linus

Utter BS

I think you need to educate yourself on ethical journalism.

Maybe, rather than providing me a link to a 3000 word article telling me it's "proof" you give me a direct quote of what you're trying to prove, then I can figure out what your point actually is.
January 24, 2025 at 7:37 AM
Steve did not reach for comment before releasing his exposé. This is a fairly fundamental journalistic ethic that should be followed to prevent misinformation.
January 24, 2025 at 7:32 AM
I asked about right to reply. You answer with the same link three times where no mention of right to reply exists.
January 24, 2025 at 7:28 AM
I think you're trolling because you shared the same link multiple times with zero arguments of substance. Low effort
January 24, 2025 at 6:21 AM
Right back at you
January 24, 2025 at 6:16 AM
It's not there at all. Steve pretends to be a journalist but ignores some fundamental journalistic ethics.

This whole honey saga is brought about because he wholly misreprents what Linus said on the WAN show.

I know the email. Linus acted in good faith to add a citation. If it was not satisfactory, that's fine, Steve could have followed up then to clear it up. But Steve very clearly indicated he was happy with Linus' actions and appears to have left it at that.

No, my opinions are of my own. I watched the original 2023 drama unfold and Steve had some good points. Although he should have reached out of comment.

LTT then spent time to own up and take steps to improve their processes. Steve hasn't got it in him to do that

Drama is great for his subscribers.

Steve's literal words:

"thank you for you quick reply and *action*."
January 23, 2025 at 10:37 AM
He also does not explain why he on multiple occasions misreprents (i.e lies) about the sequence of events in the Billet labs situation.
January 23, 2025 at 10:34 AM
Steve gave no indication this was unsatisfactory, and gave every indication he was happy with the actions Linus has done to resolve the situation. Perhaps there was more to the exchange, but it appears as though he thanked Linus for his actions and left it alone.

Until now.
January 23, 2025 at 10:30 AM
With regards to the response. Yes, some dodgy communications from Linus. But the whole plagiarism thing? Steve said "thanks for the quick reply and action", which indicates it was resolved. And then he appears to leave it until now.

It was petty and he has no integrity to own up to fault.
January 23, 2025 at 10:13 AM
They did not reach out for comment regard the Billet labs issue, and thus missed important key details relevant for the viewers. This has lead to misinformation being spread.

Not an isolated incidident
January 23, 2025 at 10:08 AM
It's absolutely a nothing-burger and totally ignores valid criticisms, choosing for petty greivances, one of which he indicated at the time to Linus were resolved. And chose to weaponise them months or years later.

I did check wayback machine and no changes have been made since Steve published it.
January 23, 2025 at 9:33 AM
I have read it. Maybe I missed it, but could you quote the exact receipt that shows he reached out to Linus to comment on an up and coming exposé?
January 23, 2025 at 8:47 AM
Did Steve show receipts that he reached out to LTT to give them a chance to comment before the exposé?
January 23, 2025 at 8:15 AM
Steve has backed himself into a corner. He does not appear to be the person to admit fault.
