Yo, why does the website play boss music in the background?

Like most internet beefs I'm guessing the truth lands somewhere in the middle.

Though as someone only sorta paying attention and I don't really care what happens I will say that Linus appears to be more upfront about his mistakes and continuing to own up to them as they come up. Not like he can own up for things that either never happened or he doesn't remember happening. He is still a human.

GN comes across more like the jealous angry kid that lashes out over text messages because they didnt get what they wanted. I can't shake the feeling that the "sudden" turn of GN against Linus has something to do with something else entirely that none of us even know about... Yet.

All that being said I have always liked Luke the most and I stopped watching LTT stuff quite a bit when Luke left. I still watch WAN because I find the information and entertainment combination the perfect background audio while I'm tinkering or whatever. I think both the GN and LTT videos generally both suck these days. GN just stands there with some paper in his hands and word vomits at the camera. Linus reminds me of the annoying orange at times.

I was similar but stopped watching the wan show when every episode became a product showcase for their merch. Real shame, I feel Luke's a weight keeping Linus somewhat grounded.

Luke is a relatively sane normal person. Linus is like the tasmanian devil. If Luke and Linuses wife weren't around who knows how canceled he would already have been lol.

Man, these people need to sit down and have a proper talk. It's embarassing that they've been fighting in public for so long. A lot of that sounds like simple communication breakdowns, even.

Every goddamn time there's a new step in these conflicts, my opinion of everyone involved tumbles.
