You are prolly right about some hidden issue here but at least GN does proper journalism and Linus is just does content IMHO

So I favour GN until Steve is properly discredited

Yep.

GN brings the receipts and can back up any claim they make.

Linus just bitches and moans while being called out on his legitimately bad behavior/thievery/etc,.. and hes used to being able to just lean into his cult, that laps up everything he says, and use them to pressure any smaller critic into silence.. Don't work with GN though, lol.

Man, idk about any of that. The only thing I can say is too far is the alleged autism comment, but there's no proof, just his word from 4.5 years ago

The WAN show is news commentary, that sometimes doesn't accurately attribute. That's reason not to watch, but not for claims of plagiarism or stealing.

And I rarely watch anything from LMG, except for specific videos that are exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not a follower of theirs, but just taking GN word as gospel seems just as dumb

Commentary is

"And heres a news article from Gamers Nexus insert brief summary of story, brief back and fort, comments and opinions about it. And if you want more info, follow up with the original article at the link below"

There are literally evidence supported facts, and the fact that you are trying to handwave it away as dumb and as fools taking random empty words as gospel, Kinda really reveals the actual hand you're trying to play here, and says a lot more about you than anything else.

Informing the subject of an investigation and requesting comment to the allegations is considered proper journalism. Otherwise it comes off more as an attack.

[–] jawsua@lemmy.one 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wild to go, "That claim about our journalistic integrity is wrong! We're actually far MORE irresponsible than you thought!" And think it's a gotcha

What para social relationships do to a MF lol
