As someone who started following Linus back in 2012 so I could build my first computer, it really makes me sad that Linus didn’t get the play button. (To the point where I’m posting here which I very rarely do) That being said, I think everyone is taking things a bit too far. Linus pulling the “do you know who I am” is completely understandable in this situation. He wasn’t doing it out of ego but rather to let the dude know that he was the creator of NCIXTechTips. As for the kid and his dad. I think it’s pretty stupid and selfish to keep the play button after talking to Linus. (Even after Linus told them to keep it.) But in the end Linus decided to be the bigger person and we should respect Linus’ decision for that. Trying to tear this kid down to return the button will do nothing. If anything, Linus getting the play button back will just remind him of how his followers broke a kid down just to return it.
