I guess they aren't even trying to hide the illuminati anymore.

@LinusTech

 

Any reason why your framework affiliation wasn’t mentioned in the video? Section felt very shoehorned in.

Why did it feel shoehorned in? It's a story that was prevalent on tech news sites and reddit etc. 

FYI, if Linus isn't hosting a Techlinked, he has no input on story choice, that's all the writer (me or Jon)

Linus personally invested in Framework. Also, the news about Framework is literally "they are offering an updated SKU, looks like they might be able to actually do something to the current market in the future". Not "Framework is the best laptop company ever, and you should buy one right now". I fully expect TechLinked to make videos based on interesting products and product releases, whether that be DELL, Apple, or Framework.

Just seems like a conflict of interest and wasn’t picked up by any major news outlets
