There are some fantastic gems of videos that still get released, but they're really hard to find amongst the YouTube crap videos.

Linus LOVES corporate buzzwords. He certainly never fails to remind critics that he's just running a business.

He's said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don't like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.

And not even as a genericized term. (Google and Xerox HATE that they're used as verbs.)

"Tweet" is only ever used to describe posting to Twitter. It's a very unique position that's about as ideal as it gets for a company brand.
