You are completely right, but I wonder how self aware Linus is. I haven't been watching his channel closely, but I've binged on episodes in the past. I was not aware of his anti-labor views or how he had his employees working on his house - these are things that a non-self aware person does; someone who doesn't understand the optics are bad to the "commoner" who feels they are being taken advantage by business owners. I'll reserve judgement for now but I've found this entire thing very disappointing.

Pretty un-self-aware indeed. He got so distracted/butthurt over internet reactions accusing him of maliciously stealing the prototype... Like obviously not, people are just pissed about the injustice. His ego benefits from the size and influence of his business qua business. But his ego leads him to see himself still as that scrappy YouTuber whose just tryna do what he does, forgetting that he's got greater power now and greater responsibility.

To be fair on the working on his house thing. He's been literally going to his employees houses and installing stuff for them after handing them $5000+ to spend on a processor + whatever they want.
