Funny thing is that Steve literally said in the beginning of his video that there would be people like you in the comments. Those who only see this as Internet drama. He goes on to explain why what Linus is doing is not just drama but in fact harmful to the community, other content creators, and potentially any company that submits a product to them for review. In my opinion he's absolutely right and if you can watch 45 minutes of him talking you'll probably walk away agreeing with him.
I'm all caught up, and that's my conclusion. This is a business with a lot of moving parts. What is the implication in all this? That Linus is incompetent, harmful, malicious, greedy? It's all dumb drama, and I'm pretty disappointed in a lot of people all around in the way it was handled.
