    That’s usually how these things work. People see others speaking out against someone, and that gives them the courage that they’ll be heard.

    It also helps that the current news only does to back up her claims and increase the perceived validity.

      It’s sad people have to wait for these opportunities to come, if at all. Otherwise people would dismiss them as a liar or disgruntled employee. There are too many sycophants even now that will back Linus no matter what.

        I think the LMG stans are super weird. People who pay for their premium floatplane stuff and pay just to be able to chat with others who pay

        It’s all very weird to me.

        I assume most of those people will stay behind and create an echo chamber of Linus simping for him to view.

          I was a floatplane subscriber for quite a while. All of this stuff over the past week has made me rethink it all and I just can’t support it. Unsubscribed.
