~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Linus is a clown. Literally. That is his brand of entertainment, clowning around with tech.
That's where he fucked up with Billet labs - he argued that he was defending consumers because nobody should buy that thing - but that's not the job of a clown, a clown is meant to entertain people.
I'm not saying Linus is a clown as an insult, I mean that's genuinely his brand and how he entertains people - memes, jokes, laughs, that's great stuff most of the time but when you arbitrarily switch lanes it better be for a good reason.
Otherwise, stay in the clown car and make people laugh.
