Linus has always been upfront about this investment and I believe some of his content was from before the investment took place. He's explained his reasoning for investing at length and has included a disclaimer in places where necessary.
So this is a very uncharitable take. There's plenty of things to cringe or criticize LTT for- but this just isn't it
- agloe_dreams 4y ago…I’m not criticizing LTT but hey still got the typical “Linus does no wrong” take. My critique was on Framework not disclosing themselves that their quote is from someone with a stake in their product now.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoFramework received this review from LTT before they were ever affiliated, so what's the issue? If you buy a McDonald's share you need to update your Google Maps review of the one in your old neighborhood from 10 years ago to disclose that you are part owner?
- kup0 4y agoI hesitate to legitimize your reply with my own, but my take was anything but saying Linus does no wrong and in fact I explicitly stated there are things for which LTT/Linus can be legitimately criticized Your initial post was a vague enough comment that it could easily be taken to be criticizing LTT for giving a "glowing review" as "someone who invested in the product... yikes" etc etc, not just Framework not putting a disclosure. The latter is something I don't actually disagree with. Had your post had that clarity then I doubt we'd have had a disagreement at all That said, I think the fact that the review occurred prior to the investment make even that disclosure unnecessary.
