    Linus usually likes to rant about it on the WAN show then they usually make a clip for YouTube, but weird he didn’t do that for honey, maybe he didn’t know how far the scam went.

      Especially considering he hasn’t been shy about ranting about a lot of things from (insert latest apple thing) to “fucking eggshell”

      As creator that makes some of their profits from affiliate links, I don’t see how that could be the case for him.

      Seems more likely they had a reason to avoid beef with PayPal.

        non disparagement clause

        Not the level of a non-compete clause but that’s a scummy thing I hope is not legal.

          It’s fairly common. As far as legal, that will depend on the jurisdiction and the mood of the judge.
