Linus
创立并主持著名YouTube频道《林纳斯技术提示》，在技术领域具有重大影响。
Topics
Linus认为自己对刚果的现状负有个人责任，因为他的科技建议促进了消费主义，而消费主义对刚果的儿童造成了伤害。他承认自己制作的科技内容可能促进了消费主义，并对环境和社会造成了负面影响，包括碳足迹、资源消耗和电子垃圾等问题。但他并不否认自己对刚果现状负有责任，并强调自己也致力于推动产品可持续性和维修权。他认为现代生活离不开科技产品，并强调其公司致力于推广高质量、耐用且可持续的产品。他反问批评者，如果要避免科技产品带来的负面影响，该如何提供科技建议或选择科技产品。他强调其公司制作的视频内容，例如《Scraped Wars》，旨在推广科技产品的重复利用和可持续消费。他总结了其公司一直以来的价值观，即关注性价比和可持续消费。他承认其视频内容中可能存在促进消费主义的方面，即使其最终目的是劝退消费者购买不必要的产品。他认为批评其内容促进消费主义的观点站不住脚，因为存在其他更明显地鼓吹消费主义的科技博主。他认为其公司在推广科技产品时，会强调性价比和实际需求，避免盲目消费。他以Taylor Swift为例，指出将消费主义的负面影响完全归咎于个人是不公平的，因为消费者的选择也起到了关键作用。
