Debating The Linux YouTuber Hit Pieces #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/0ChTMpoIiZ0

I reject the premise of your question. You suggest people calling out a Linux YouTuber are guilty of the same thing. This is 100% not the case. The problem with a lot of the newer "calling out" videos is they're ill-informed and aren't aware of the long history of grifting that some of these chances are guilty of. A lot of us avoid these people and advise against interaction based on well-founded reasoning and facts over many, many years. Don't fall into trap of dismissing that.

It is completely reasonable to avoid people you don't want to associate with, in fact I wish more people did that instead of spending 12 hours a day on Twitter arguing with people they hate. Maybe I didn't word it properly but the only comparison I was making was between the comparable actions, making a video to call someone out, is the same as writing an article to call someone out and in both cases they were ill informed pieces.

@popey Having certain people around will drive some other people away, kicking them out will drive yet other people away. You can not welcome everybody equally, so you need to pick and choose which people you want your project to be associated with.

The problem starts when kicked people raise a stink about you elsewhere on a new channel to a new audience. You can not reach that audience yourself with your normal channels, so you feel the need to answer on that new channel 🙁
