From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's fair enough. If you lead with this I wouldn't have commented. I agree his recent videos have been more sensationalist, I just thought this one was pretty good, especially for the non-technical crowd.
I've found his videos pretty on point in the topics that I'm familiar with.
I'd need more evidence of misleading information than 'A popular content creator receives an investment'. That's not proof.
It's not even implied by the evidence presented outside of an implied conspiracy not built on anything other than a press release.
There may be evidence of foul play somewhere, but it was not presented here.
There was no conspiracy theorizing here. Enshittafication driven by money is simply how our world works now.
His waymo video was probably the most egregious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc
Tbf, the recent "rod from god" video was a dumpsterfire. They didn't make smaller scale models or talk to experts ahead of time. They just yolo'd it and burned a bunch of cash while doing so
