That is legit. A few years ago I was working at a job that was… okay. Big name in my industry, paid the bills, etc. I was occasionally looking at and applying for other jobs on the side, but nothing serious. Then something happened at work that royally pissed me off, which mixed with the amount of pain I was physically in at the time after getting my first COVID shot resulted in a massively-escalated search for a new job, which ultimately landed me in a much better place.
So yeah, anger makes shit happen.
Could be mistaken, but supposedly Linus knew about the part where Honey was screwing over affiliates (like himself), and claims that was public-enough knowledge in the creator community at the time that he didn’t feel compelled to say more, not the part where Honey was screwing over customers, too. Also, didn’t he credit Steve via a pinned comment to that video?
