I would be super scared that the surface I'm walking in could potentially be lava. Cool AF too watch though.
What they meant to say was "We didn't have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we'll create the problem..."
My guess is this. Tong probably said "Linus, shut the fuk up and disappear for a little bit".
Jay-Z 2 cents has a pod called RTFM if you like his content. Not necessarily the same but still in the tech world.
I'm not in the crowd of should be, and I'm all for second chances. But, I could see why someone wouldn't want Linus, and a company under his name, to not be successful because of who he is and what's happening. Liking a product but not the person behind it is ok. Making a choice not to support either is also ok.
Keep in mind, some of the "talented" people contributed to these issues. Some of them are to blame as well.
Won't matter. As soon as those alternatives get big enough, they'll either sell out or look for more ways to maximize profits. The Internet is wholely infected by corporations now. Just need better ways to beat them back somehow.
