Linus has become time a big multi-millionaire media tycoon and acting as such. I really hope this takes a big chunk out his company's bottom line (to have a learning effect), he has been getting high on success for far too long.
Now say it with me lads : "You Either Die A Hero Or Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain"
The way that he talked about spending 100, 200, 300, 400, even $500 of staff time on re-testing not being an option, when he rakes in THOUSANDS per video is pretty illustrative of where his head is at.
I was pretty excited when Linus announced that he was stepping aside, but he clearly still has way too much say on the direction of LMG and his motivations are entirely too obvious. Go away, Linus. We've had enough of you.

This screams KPI to me. It’s self imposed bullshit thst leads to cutting corners like this.
