#

these teachers make ALOT

opaque sedge

opaque sedge

honestly a big motivator to become a teacher in the US in a good area is prolly the healthcare benefits

they might make 70k a year but they getting like 30k in benfits

30k in benfits is AMAZING

pliant berry

most of them here make like 400k and up

fresh timber
#

i know how much healthcare is kek

pliant berry
#

very controversial when it comes to budgeting

fresh timber
#

$199,280.00 is how much our super attendant makes

nocturne flicker
#

There are places with teacher shortages. In the garbage parts of the country

fresh timber
#

teachersr salarars are between 60k and 120k

tacit quiver
#

they should pay your super attendant less and your english teacher more

fresh timber
#

i think it depends on their educatiion level and expirence

They pay teachers crap and demonize them

$120 a YEAR FOR A BAD CHROMEBOOK???

#

U CAN BUY IT FOR $80

nocturne flicker
#

Those chromebook fees tend to pay for parts, repairs, replacements, wages and in some cases insurance. Part pricing, especially on things like chromebooks and laptops, can be extremely stupid because of limited sources

fresh timber
#

its cheaper to buy a new one if it braks kek

#

buy one for $80, if it breaks in a few years buy new one kek

nocturne flicker
#

In certain cases, yes. If the mobo dies absolutely, but the parts can be less expensive depending on the model

fresh timber
#

the model it self cost $80

#

oo i see mines is no longer being sold anymore kek

#

but found it on amazon for $74

#

If it isn't being sold by the manufacturer it will not be purchased by a school. They generally do not purchase them from resellers.

BURN THE CHROMEBOOK! dOWN TO THE GROUND

worthy tapir

#

At my high school the fee for the chromebook was really low. You had the choice between paying insurance or being billed per part if something breaks. And we had a program for students to fix the chromebooks as part of a student IT group

fresh timber
#

They never charge me to fix it kek

#

I get special rights

But our school had most of the chromebook program paid for by NY state grants

It's in their TOS that they are logging your inputs

Yes turn it around

fresh timber

its a quick google search showing its PARENT company is chineese owned, NOT TIKTOK

devout forum
#

If an American company made a not-Tiktok and the CIA demands that a backdoor is installed into it to monitor "potential dissidents" living abroad wouldn't you be pissed?

#

"TikTok, whose mainland Chinese and Hong Kong counterpart is Douyin, was a Chinese short-form video hosting service owned by Chinese internet company ByteDance."

#

It was a rename for a CHINESE app intended for internationals

fresh timber
#

no i dont really care if they have my data

devout forum
#

Then you're quite foolish honestly

fresh timber
#

the tiktok company is not chineese

#

the data is not in china

devout forum

It literally is Chinese though

fresh timber

byte dance does not have access to the data

fresh timber

google the tiktok comapony

its incoropreted in the cyaman islands

Just because the data is not physically in China it is still hosted on servers operated by people answering to a company that is legally mandated to hand over collected data to the Chinese government

iinstead of banning the app, make laws protecting users data, and if tiktok doesnt comply you can ban them, it benfits everyone, not just banning tikok

hold all these american social media apps to the same standards of data privacy

But y'know, the CCP would rather blow it up than to hand over the algorithm

thats what this turned into mr mod man

hoary zodiac
#

yes theo please janny

craggy shoal

idk man I'm still gonna think all of this is because TikTok was "super cringe" because of when it was music.ly back in the day, and then it got bought out and then turned into TikTok, which was still kind of a goofy app until people started bullying the "dancers" from music.ly at the time

nobody remembers this though

Listening to Linus feeling attacked reminded me that his way of responding to bad publicity is almost like a kid throwing a tantrum

#

Not that I'm personally any better but it's not very confidence inspiring...

hoary zodiac
#

That's the thing

#

GN can milk him for easy drama

#

Linus needs a PR guy that just tells him to stay quiet in these situation

mortal grail
#

I don't think GN is completely justified either

gleaming rivet
hoary zodiac
#

yeah

#

GN is being very petty here

mortal grail
#

But I think the way Linus snap reacts is childish

hoary zodiac
#

also pretty irresponsible for his brand image

#

it's not just him he has to worry about

mortal grail
#

Don't get me wrong, I think he has a heart of gold

hoary zodiac
#

yeah he just doesn't take drama well

mortal grail
#

But his responses to criticism are awful

#

Yeah

#

It's a natural reaction though

hoary zodiac
#

GN threw a cheap shot

#

if linus stayed quiet this whole thing would've been more in his favour

mortal grail
#

Mmmm...I wouldn't say, cheap?

nocturne flicker
#

It was a bit snide tbh

mortal grail
#

But I wouldn't say either that he seems to being unbiased

#

Yeah

#

It does seem to feel a little targeted

gleaming rivet
#

Which video are we talking about? I wanna see

hoary zodiac
#

It's unnecessary

#

the honey issue is much bigger than LTT

mortal grail
#

Yes

#

And I think that part is validated

fresh timber
#

oogabooga intrenet internet

mortal grail
#

He didn't need to go after LTT specifically

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

But that said, Linus responds really poorly

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

he just needs to take the Mr Beast approach of just

#

not responding

#

and waiting until the attack dogs make a mistake

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

well

#

at least respond when he's in a clear headspace

mortal grail
#

But to give a real example of what I mean

#

When he was posting his "Response" letter

nocturne flicker
#

I think it'd be better for his CEO to dictate any response derpyBlob

mortal grail
#

The "I won't partake in a sniping contest"

#

Part

hoary zodiac
#

yeah the CEO doesn't have enough power imo

mortal grail
#

Then proceeds to partake by pointing out flaws

#

That part just paints it so well for me how bad Linus is at reacting

hoary zodiac
#

he should have the executive power to veto linus's public statements

#

at least in regards to LMG

mortal grail
#

Idk, I think it's just more revealing on Linus the last couple days

#

It redecorates the picture of a child tantrum to me

#

He can say things better if he wants conflict resolution

#

Not snap back and continue the snipe volley

hoary zodiac
#

yeah

#

ironically he'd have the upper hand on GN

#

if he'd responded better

mortal grail
#

He would yes

#

People respect his character

nocturne flicker
#

And even if he does say bad kneejerk stuff, it'd probably make things go smother if he wasn't as such a big figure in the company. But he is basically the face of it. Which tbf is his right, but still

hoary zodiac
#

If Linus was like "Why did you specifically address me when this issue is much larger than the tech sphere"

mortal grail
mortal grail
#

Perfect way of saying it

#

"Why me when there's 30 others?"

#

If he just, said only that

#

Instead of the wall of text

hoary zodiac
#

or rather

mortal grail
#

This wouldn't be so conflated

hoary zodiac
#

"Why focus on LMG rather than the real issue of paypal?"

#

LMG is literally not a big part in this

mortal grail
#

If you listen to the GN clip anyway Steve barely said anything particularly bad

hoary zodiac
#

at least not as much as GN makes it out to be

nocturne flicker
hoary zodiac
#

it's pretty targeted

fresh timber
#

my girlfriend just made a new instagram account shes never used the platform before and its alrady recommending people from our school shes never had a meta acount ever

mortal grail
nocturne flicker
#

Though tbf, right to response should be something Steve should be doing if he isn't

mortal grail
#

I think he's right to point out what Steve is doing, anything beyond that, petty imo

mortal grail
#

But I can also somewhat see where Steve comes from there

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

He's trying to be a representative journalist

fresh timber
#

who sold meta her snapchat data

mortal grail
#

And he is likely expecting others to uphold a similar standard

fresh timber
#

thats the only social media i can think of that she might have mutruals on

mortal grail
#

But therein is the unorthodox

hoary zodiac
#

Steve has the right to point out the LMG involvement

craggy shoal
#

come to think of it, Instagram would always recommend classmates, rather than my classmates' parents or other relatives

hoary zodiac
#

but this instance is too targeted

mortal grail
#

Do you give other journalists a reminder how to do their job? That they know well?

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

Or do you make it a case of straight to a public execution

fresh timber
#

but instagram knows who they are

hoary zodiac
#

Justified or not it makes GN look petty

mortal grail
#

Yeah

#

I can see how it came to pass

fresh timber
#

internet drama

#

funy

mortal grail
#

I don't think it's all that right either

#

Steve should give his peers a chance

#

Since he did other companies

#

THAT

#

Is what makes it feel targeted

hoary zodiac
#

He showed JayzTwoCents way more courtesy than LTT

mortal grail
#

Exactly

hoary zodiac
#

which just rubs me the wrong way

#

he's willing to sit down with J2C but not LTT

mortal grail
#

So I think Linus is right, but childish and really makes it look dumb in how he did it

hoary zodiac
#

exactly

mortal grail
#

And I think Steve is unusually biased and thus somewhat in the wrong

#

Granted how this played out

hoary zodiac
#

Linus has a point

#

but he phrased it really really poorly

Ye, he's just bad at handling drama

#

Really really bloody bad at it

#

The first instance of it which he kept recalling was the August 23 video

#

He went straight on social media

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say the previous drama wouldn't be blown out of proportion if he didn't respond in the same way either

mortal grail
#

Slandered everyone

#

And he got reeled in by his own peers

#

REALLY bad look that was

mortal grail
#

Well see how this plays out ig

#

Both sides have ammunition

hoary zodiac
#

I think it should just die down

#

this is stupid

#

like

mortal grail
#

Resolution would be the best imo, no point in bickering

storm narwhal
#

It is stupid

hoary zodiac
#

this is just taking resources away from the honey lawsuit

fresh timber
#

wee woo wee woo

#

wee woo wee woo

storm narwhal
#

Honey is their main target

#

Or at least should be

fresh timber
#

honey

hoary zodiac
#

that honey video was very well produced

#

but no

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

now LTT is somehow the main target

mortal grail
#

Megalag also had LTT eyed in on with the original vid

storm narwhal
#

What they did or didnt do isn't really relevant for the lawsuit to come

hoary zodiac
#

exactly

mortal grail
#

Yep

hoary zodiac
#

this is about the entire youtube platform

#

hell

mortal grail
#

If anything it'll just reflect terribly on GN for the lawsuit

storm narwhal
#

Like seriously it's just a strawman argument at that point

mortal grail
#

Which is probably what LMG wants

hoary zodiac
#

this has globe reaching consequences

#

but no

storm narwhal
#

Trying to pin it on specific channels

hoary zodiac
#

it has to be about LTT now

#

🤡

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

I'm fine with LTT's content

mortal grail
#

Supposed to be about the core creators and their affiliation to Honey

hoary zodiac
#

I watch one video like every couple months for entertainment

#

I don't hate either of them but come on

mortal grail
#

Same

hoary zodiac
#

this is so childish

storm narwhal
#

Everyone was involved in "promoting" honey as a platform

mortal grail
#

I think LTT improved tremendously from all the drama tbh

hoary zodiac
#

they did

storm narwhal
#

So if you're gonna blame one blame them all

hoary zodiac
#

there's been a lot less slop

mortal grail
#

They even have LTT labs improving to the point where I am considering them seriously

hoary zodiac
#

but still this time LTT's not to blame here

#

at least not as much as everyone else

mortal grail
#

I'm curious to see how Steve responds

#

If he gives Linus a chance, this will die overnight

#

If he decides to snap back this will be an interesting 2025 start

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

thanks steve

storm narwhal
#

Which he should give him a chance

fresh timber
#

legal eagle

hoary zodiac
#

they should sit down and talk it out

#

apologise to each other

#

stop this crap

#

or even join forces to fight honey

storm narwhal
#

Tech bros should be tech bros

hoary zodiac
#

that'd be the best outcome

#

everyone benefits

nocturne flicker
#

They need to sit down together with someone else to moderate them

storm narwhal
#

Not tech enemies

hoary zodiac
#

like seriously it'd turn this drama around and give each other a PR boost

mortal grail
#

I don't even think Linus' way of handling the honey situation is poor either

#

No one anticipated this degree of crapery

#

Would anyone here watch the way honey snatches an affiliate code?

#

Ofc not

#

It's not a common sense thing to notice

#

Like at all

hoary zodiac
#

exactly

nocturne flicker
#

I mean, I personally think they all should have gone out and told the public about the affiliate stealing if they knew

hoary zodiac
#

maybe they were sus

nocturne flicker
#

Just a general PSA

hoary zodiac
#

but didn't want to make a baseless accusation

mortal grail
#

LTT saying he will just distance himself is fine imo because it literally caught everyone out

storm narwhal
#

Everyone who ever promoted honey should make a response

mortal grail
#

I see the same thing from GN with NZXT tbh

storm narwhal
#

Just to let people know

icy ore
#

It’s just a constant battle now

#

Drama

#

Sells

mortal grail
#

He grilled so many creators for the flex program, which is justified, but the bigger problem is many of those didn't know that's what it had become

#

Many signed up when it WASN'T the way it is today

#

He is justified but unjustified there as well

nocturne flicker
mortal grail
#

Steve getting that 80% accuracy again

mortal grail
#

Esp. with the way it blew up

nocturne flicker
#

Oh no, he absolutely isn't obligated, none of them are

mortal grail
#

Literally everyone's been talking about it since it's mr. beast's lovechild

gleaming rivet
#

So I just watched the part where he "jabs" at Linus. I don't think he's wrong. I also don't think he's wrong for calling him out either. Linus should have made that video when his team found out.

mortal grail
#

It wasn't the best way he could have handled it, but I think given the way almost everyone didn't catch it, he's not really guilty of anything

mortal grail
#

He wasn't wrong, but I didn't think he's perfectly right either

gleaming rivet
#

Gamer's Nexus has always been the people to call people out for BS no matter what it is and they did just that. It's no different than any other time he's called people out.

mortal grail
#

Absolutely

fresh timber
#

GN is a goat

mortal grail
#

But he does have a strange track record of not giving Linus a chance

storm narwhal
#

Weirdly targeted behaviour

mortal grail
#

Yeah

#

It's....odd

storm narwhal
#

He certainly gave nzxt a second chance

mortal grail
#

Again, no requirement from anyone to do anything but I sorta see both sides here

#

Just Linus is a toddler

gleaming rivet
#

In this istance though, Linus was the one who knew long before others did and did nothing about it. Why shouldn't GN call him out? Why should he call someone else out when it's literally Linus that sat on his hands.

#

Linus asked for this when he did nothing.

mortal grail
#

That tbf, I don't know when he found out

icy ore
#

We can just agree jayztwopoots is the best techtuber smh

mortal grail
#

But if it was any time after the megalag video I think he wasn't wrong

#

Just not ideal

gleaming rivet
hoary zodiac
#

Jayz has been unusally based recently

fresh timber
storm narwhal
#

But for how long yeah

gleaming rivet
mortal grail
#

If it's before, you're totally right

gleaming rivet
mortal grail
#

Welp guess I'm more in the wrong there then

#

Linus should have called it out

gleaming rivet
#

Yeah he knew years ago.

storm narwhal
#

I didn't watch the megalag video tbh so

#

Yeah then you right

gleaming rivet
#

I'm 100% on board with GN for calling him out.

mortal grail
#

I mean personally I gave up on Honey after 15 minutes lol

mortal grail
icy ore
#

So it’s weird cos it states that LMC wasn’t “happy with the commission” or something, not specifically what they weren’t happy with. The thing is they partnered with another company that does the same thing

storm narwhal
#

After it didn't work like 4 times I gave up on honey

mortal grail
#

Even if it does the same thing

mortal grail
#

Well that's unfortunate then, he should've called it out

#

So GN is even more right to what he did, and right to reply is less deserved in that scenario

mortal grail
storm narwhal
#

Did anyone else know prior?

gleaming rivet
storm narwhal
#

Damn Colin

mortal grail
#

And anyone else that wasn't from LMG?

gleaming rivet
mortal grail
#

No worries

#

I'm just curious if GN was still jabbing for the sake of context or bias or if it's because only ltt was the best example

gleaming rivet
storm narwhal
#

I'm just curious if anyone else knew

gleaming rivet
gleaming rivet
mortal grail
#

So it's not a biased jab

gleaming rivet
#

Nope

mortal grail
#

It's just an obvious example

storm narwhal
#

Hm

mortal grail
#

Welp so Linus is just a crybaby then 😂

#

That's not a good look LOL

storm narwhal
#

Yeah this changes things kekw

#

Didn't realize that until now

mortal grail
#

Right of reply wouldn't do much if it's well known he decided to sit on that information

#

Rip LTT (again)

hoary zodiac
#

💀

#

man and I thought there's more nuance to this

mortal grail
#

So it's probably more likely Steve decided not to waste his time and try and put it in a gentle tone

storm narwhal
#

Which is valid

mortal grail
#

Yeah

storm narwhal
#

They knew really early on but didn't do anything with it

mortal grail
#

Why write to someone about something that is clearly bad and you know the answer to

#

It gets worse when you remember Linus decided to focus on GN as well

#

This is just such a meme of a bicker

#

💀

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if GN can just sit this one out

#

just let the commentary slop tubers take care of it

nocturne flicker
#

Actually there was a video by a small creator that came out in 2020 about honey being a scam

mortal grail
nocturne flicker
gleaming rivet
#

rip

mortal grail
#

Steve needs to handle this in a way that makes his approach more justified, since there's a lot of he said/she said bs involved

gleaming rivet
#

Vid will start where Linus is

hoary zodiac
#

it rubs me the wrong way

mortal grail
#

It can definitely look targeted but I think that's just the unfortunate part lmao

hoary zodiac
#

like the GN video is very put together

gleaming rivet
hoary zodiac
#

I agree

storm narwhal
#

It certainly looked targeted before full context

#

But yeah it actually is just normal this time

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how other commentary channels with use this against him tho

#

without the full context

#

Because a lot of those sloptubers will just be like

#

"targeted attack????"

#

It makes sense to us but those people will take it differently

#

since GN is focused in the tech space and has more of an interest on techtubers

mortal grail
#

That'll just turn into good publicity for GN I think

#

Since sensationalism is built on drama

hoary zodiac
#

hopefully he uses it as a boost to the honey lawsuit

#

iirc doesn't he use the same lawyer that rossmann had?

#

I really need to rewatch that honey video

#

Seems that I didn't pay enough attention

gleaming rivet
hoary zodiac
#

thanks

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how this honey suit would go

#

Would be amazing to see LegalEagle and GN join forces

mortal grail
#

Ok you know what

#

From here I think GN is a lot more justified than I originally thought

#

LTT already had a chance to right to reply with megalag

hoary zodiac
#

so really

#

Linus's response was basically

#

"waa why you bully me"

#

when he's also being petty

#

pretty hypocritical

hoary zodiac
#

watching through the GN video again

somber skiff
#

I think Steve's just had a chip on his shoulder ever since Linus announced the lab ™️

elfin mural
#

ig

#

Steve had a reason to be personal about LTT

#

I was ready to throw hands when I watched that vid

mortal grail
#

The megalag video said a lot more than Steve did

#

Much much more

hoary zodiac
#

I'm rewatching the GN video rn

#

8 minutes in but

#

from scrolling through the timeline it seems like GN is more focused on the lawsuit itself

#

than LTT

This is like keeping up with the Kardashians but for computer nerds

Idk, to me that "can" seems very, very probable. The only thing known at the time was Honey's affiliate stealing issues, which was well spread on social media when Linus first knew but just not in video form. I'd imagine just about every tech bro, Steve included, saw it and yet basically no one made a video (speculation here tho). Everyone is in the wrong in terms of this "not making a video" business. Singling out Linus, and only Linus, for not wanting to make a seemingly bad business decision to spread news ("please stop trying to save money so we can make more money" is likely the message most people would take away from the video regardless of how it was done, as remember people didnt care as much about YTer income back then) that is seemingly already well known ("seemingly" being the key word here) looks rather immature on Steve's part. This context wasnt well explained when Linus got mentioned, just like the various other times Steve talked about Linus. After so many times of accidently leaving out context which can really twist narratives (this is going back through all GN/LTT dramas), it becomes harder to believe it was accidental

here is the section timestamped

north crescent
mortal grail
#

That said;

#

It should have been probably elaborated on

#

And I can still kinda see no one is perfectly innocent here

hoary zodiac
#

I'd say GN didn't want to turn it into another LTT drama situation

#

which... is exactly what it turned into

mortal grail
#

Cos linus is bad with drama

#

Always is lol

hoary zodiac
#

Thing is

#

GN wouldn't even be able to pull that clip if Linus had responded properly

#

He always rushes his responses

mortal grail
#

In fact going off of Megalag's LTT response I think it's even more justified he didn't really need to seek a response. LTT had made an essentially public statement

#

If you consider this then it speaks more to the reverse

hoary zodiac
#

GN saw a way to sneak in a cheap shot and he took it

#

It's a cheap shot but Linus walked into it

mortal grail
#

Linus was hurt by all this and decided GN needed to be accountable for saying absolutely anything at all

north crescent
#

Context which IMO made for a fairly proper response

north crescent
hoary zodiac
#

even within context I'd still raise at least half an eyebrow

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

Linus is well

#

again

#

he always rushes his responses

#

and then this happens

#

If he had phrased things differently

mortal grail
#

If either party worded things better it wouldn't be at this impasse

hoary zodiac
#

maybe got into more in depth information

mortal grail
#

But I still think Linus reacts like a child to some things

hoary zodiac
#

Cheap shot or not, Linus always walks into these things

mortal grail
#

"I want no drama" "I won't be a part of this sniping match" "Oh but you also have some problems Steve"

#

Linus' attitude really bakes this

proud jackal
#

I just

mortal grail
#

And again, I don't hate the guy at all

hoary zodiac
#

this is minecraft youtuber levels of response

proud jackal
#

Want them to be on the same side when they trash talk the 5080

hoary zodiac
#

still waiting for LTT labs

#

so we could have another reference for benchmark data

north crescent
#

Steve has a history of failing to provide context and Linus has a history of rushing responses, but tbh Im more willing to take Linus' side with what I currently know (not by much tho lol), cuz it feels like Linus wants to make things right while Steve doesnt (Linus will usually eventually note his wrongs, Steve wont)

north crescent
mortal grail
#

Linus' snap back attitude really is his biggest fault

nocturne flicker
#

How does one try to make things right by slinging as much mud as possible and tying it up in a bow with I'm just not going to pursue legal action derpyBlob

mortal grail
#

I don't disagree Steve doesn't fully clarify, but the whole "Right to reply" thing isn't required when Megalag already reached out

#

He could elaborate better but I think Steve could've really said a LOT more in that situation

#

Especially when remembering LTT didn't disclose the honey issues knowing prior to megalag's vid

#

I would've turned a blind eye had it been after, not before

#

Fueling the fire is fueling clicks, I'm a bit less kind if it's before the reveal

north crescent
mortal grail
#

He doesn't, I think Steve is extremely hard headed in that scenario

#

It paints him as an ass in that sense

#

But had either party been better in their clarity this situation I still definitely think would be entirely different

nocturne flicker
#

I'm talking Linus. His letter and his WAN response was basically I'm gonna throw as much mud as possible, try and extend an olive branch at the same exact time and wrap it up with I won't sue at this time

north crescent
#

Eh, to me that was mostly just trying to give context of the gravity on how bad defamation can be, to us, the viewers. And that with Steve's history of poor contextualization and lack of desire in fixing those issues, it doesnt feel like an accident to him

mortal grail
#

He's the 3rd biggest party to the honey scam table. Sitting on that info for 2 years with no retraction and claiming innocence is counterintuitive

#

If it was well known or broken at the time LMG broke partnership I'd be inclined to think Linus is more in the right but not when he's trying to refute his involvement to the whole situation

#

Especially since Megalag already gave LMG a chance for clear clarification

#

They took a really meditated decision to not break the news

hoary zodiac
mortal grail
#

Yes

#

It absolutely will be

hoary zodiac
#

Less the "sitting on the information part" and more the poorly thought out response part

nocturne flicker
#

There is also the fact that a small channel had already broken the news that Honey was scamming both customers and creators

mortal grail
#

GN should be a little more clear

#

But he wasn't wrong

#

At all

#

He's not completely right, but his comments were not wrong

nocturne flicker
#

If somebody, anybody big had spoken out about the affiliate stuff somebody would've had to eventually notice what that other guy had said and it'd've been all well known and put to bed years ago now

mortal grail
#

I can see how LMG would feel attacked by defamation but I think GN is the least of his concerns in that department

hoary zodiac

This time they'll literally have the whole of the commentary sloppers come after them

We'd not have this perpetual drama situation and instead GN just looks bad

Which would be validated
