Framework received this review from LTT before they were ever affiliated, so what's the issue?

If you buy a McDonald's share you need to update your Google Maps review of the one in your old neighborhood from 10 years ago to disclose that you are part owner?

I hesitate to legitimize your reply with my own, but my take was anything but saying Linus does no wrong and in fact I explicitly stated there are things for which LTT/Linus can be legitimately criticized

Your initial post was a vague enough comment that it could easily be taken to be criticizing LTT for giving a "glowing review" as "someone who invested in the product... yikes" etc etc, not just Framework not putting a disclosure. The latter is something I don't actually disagree with. Had your post had that clarity then I doubt we'd have had a disagreement at all

That said, I think the fact that the review occurred prior to the investment make even that disclosure unnecessary.

If the opinion presented in that video was shared before any business relationship was concieved, I'd hardly consider the opinion invalid.

There are detailed videos from Linus on this topic. No conversation took place about investment until after he did his review video. When we first saw the video (at the same time as everyone else did), we assumed he was joking about wanting to invest.
