I've got no clue what point you're trying to make. Are you pro-bumper sticker or something? "Sorry I shoulda boycotted." Very helpful.

This is the only time I'd accept someone calling something virtue signaling.

Stepping down as CEO is probably the right call, but this move to "CVO" seems a little too lateral. I think Linus needs to pull back out of the spotlight, for the health of his company. But I really think he thinks his personality is the brand.

If ownership hasn't changed, and he's still essentially the CEO's boss since he selects them, it's rearranging deck chairs. He hired someone to do administrative tasks.

What back assward theory of value is this using.

Holy hell.
