It's Business Insider, it's the TMZ or Uproxx of "business news". Every once in a while they'll have original content (i.e. sourced from their editorial team), but for the most part it's a content mill of copy-pasted content with a few rushed sentences from an overworked copy writer.

That's funny, cause I was about to post starting with "Is it just me..."
No only the things you said, but it's written like it's targeted at a middle-schooler. I could barely make myself skim the 2nd half of it. I did, cause, you know, Linus.

It's a quick, crappy, cut-and-paste, article based on a recent interview with him. It's a complete trash article - standard for internet news now.

I too had the same impression. It's a complete equivocation of the problem. Even if you're not fan of Torvalds, and think he's rude, his rudeness is different from the problems of social media.
Just seems weird that they give his opinion, and then we get someone else's opinion on HIM. That doesn't seem very unbiased. Maybe I am overthinking it.
