linus tech tip

I used to watch them, for me the content has gotten a bit boring, but they still occasionally upload some interesting stuff. Also I used to listen to their podcast every week and it's still one of my favorites, I just don't get to listen to podcasts as much.
As for their controversies I think they've handled them well, but we don't have to agree on that.
I miss the beard. I feel like I watch less since he shaved, but that just might be a coincidence as my ADHD makes me binge different content in spurts.

Delivering wholesome content, yet still somehow managing to fuck it up in some greedy way.

His crew has claimed many abuses (supposedly he has been absolved, I don't have knowledge of or an opinion on whether that's justified).
He stole a prototype of a product then sold it for profit ("What Happened Between Linus Tech Tips And Billet Labs?" on this page).
Also on that page are other allegations of which I was unaware, most of which (at a glance) seem to be about improperly testing and/or representing products. I particularly like the one about claiming a mouse was poor quality after he failed to remove a cover from the sensor.
edit: I've been informed that my understanding of the situation with the prototype may have been incorrect. Reading the thread below may clarify matters.
He was “absolved” by a company that he hired to investigate.
The situations mostly come down to he said/she said, so nothing for the company to find…
The result of the investigation was that there wasn’t any evidence, not disproving or proving the allegations

Linus Torvalds is super well known for creating Linux. Linux is heavily used in "tech". Linus is not a common name globally.
Personally, I had expected that "Linux Tech Tips" was Linux Torvalds giving Linux tech tips. Clearly, I have no bothered to read any of them.

Ok well that's kind of your own fault I mean while Linus Torvalds is well known in the Linux and super techy (super super techy) community he is not well known to most people I know about Linus tech tips before Torvalds. That might be because I'm 19 right now and had access to YouTube at a younger age but I personally never found it confusing as it's just the guy's name and he does tech videos.
