~~⚠️ 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...)~~

MODERATORS
It's not, but reddit is wild on this and brings up excuses like "he should have made a video showing they're best friends" or whatever.
Linus did actually tweeted and talked a couple of minutes in a WAN show pleading his fanbase to leave this kid alone, but for reddit it was not enough.
Yeah Reddit (and the rest of the internet) do get wild sometimes
Probably could have done some more to help, but that's the moral dilemma of looking back and seeing you always could've done more
While I don't think it's Linus' fault that other people act like that, I do think he bears some responsibility in who and how he names people in his videos. A bit more consideration is necessary. It hasn't come up a lot; Maybe the pool install company that screwed him over.
