I'm confused about your comment. Why assume it's childish to act in a way that distances you of any drama?

Why that us vs. them attitude of name calling someone as childish? How is that any different of the childish behaviour that is being hoisted upon in the first place?

Perhaps that's an indication that a side is already being chosen?

Anyway, don't take my comment in a wrong way. I really have no dog in this fight. I barely know who this Linus guy is. I just dislike seeing people being rude to each other, unneedingly escalating discussions by being unkind.

Exactly. I stopped watching LTT when I felt they produced childish content a few years ago (first it was the clickbait titles, then stupid thumbnails, then annoying ads). So I unsubbed for much less than a sexual harassment case.

Watch other channels, there's plenty of good content out there depending on what you're interested in. I mostly watch Gamer's Nexus and Optimum Tech these days for tech stuff, but there are a few others I watch with some regularity.
