What a bunch of pricks.

I hesitate to blame them all. In GN’s video, some of the clips show LMG people seeming (to me? Somehow I don’t see anyone else pointing this out???) anxious to terrified of Linus. In one of the WAN Show clips there’s this meek, near-mumbled kind of “Uhm… Linus sir maybe if you’d, um… just tested it properly that could’ve been maybe better I guess? <.< v.v;” sort of thing, and the person who grabbed the wrong card barely squeaked out a response at all, but Linus just never seems to give a damn about anything except making the quickest possible bucks.

I don’t know what’s keeping everyone else there but I think at least some of those people are just trying to get by without incurring some kind of wrath as Linus himself repeatedly makes (or causes) a mess then arrogantly doubles, triples, quadruples down on it (or has someone else do so, or maybe other arrogant pricks are involved?) up to a point of “Okay, I messed up and I’ll own that now everyone forget about it” after which business-as-usual resumes until the next mess. It seems like no one else has time to learn from any mistakes (or “mistakes”) and those who do (presumably a hierarchy-related privilege) are unwilling or incapable.

Now, they may in fact be a bunch of pricks. I just feel like some of those people (such as the one suggesting that testing the water block correctly might made sense (before potentially killing a startup unfairly)) try to help but have no power to inhibit Linus’s pompous profit-driven pissheadery.
