The board must be getting tired of this by now. He's showing that he doesn't know how to handle their user base.

It literally wasn't. He paid way more than what the stock was worth. (Hence why he desperately tried to get out of it, and why the board desperately tried to make sure he had to go through with it.)

Just a reminder that things rarely actually get deleted in the software world. Instead a flag is flipped to is_deleted=true

He's said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don't like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.

"Hell yes we're going to take your guns" is not the best slogan when running for governor of Texas.

Linus LOVES corporate buzzwords. He certainly never fails to remind critics that he's just running a business.

And then they could release another new console down the line and call it the “New DS”

I thought he only rode crackers? Putin on the Ritz

The northeast has a lot of people who fall into that camp.

we need a WorkReform sub in here.

Just please for the love of god actually call it "WorkReform", not "Anti-Work"

It also appeared right when Reddit started cracking down on ultra-right-wing stuff. I'm sure that didn't help.
