Prior to the trump era I voted libertarian federal, dem/left for state govt for this reason. The problem with parties at the moment is there's not just economic policy tied up into them but cultural and societal aspects that have to be weighed.

Agreed but the problem with this is that it requires people to be ok with the idea that they are building something that they likely won't see. It's a difficult concept for most people to grapple with.
While I mostly agree with you, I do think there are problematic things in this article that make Linus come off as disingenuous at best, especially seeing that he played the "I have 0 idea what I did wrong, I want to sue you but i wont" card.
As for the reciepts for lack of citations, while I think it's obvious that Steve is asking for citations and he shouldn't have to ask, it's always best to make your request explicit. It breeds animosity to have expectations and not state or ask them clearly. I could absolutely see someone being naive in these exchanges and thinking that Steve was reaching out not to get a citation but to fix future mistakes.
The worst thing about this bullshit though is the lmg clips video title. It's a serious allegation that Linus allegedly wants to resolve, but they cover it in cringe memery. And I say this as someone who watches LTT and not GN.
I think if Linus had just called out Steve's beef and publicly requested some forum to speak privately or publicly and sort out differences, that'd be one thing. But with the lmg clip title and the "want to sue, but I won't" bs, it all just seems kinda gross. I know that Linus may not be personally responsible for that, but the company uses his name, and he started it.
Americorps and the peace corp are a thing, but I'll admit, I'm not sure how much of a thing?
Likewise, I think 2 years of public service or military should be compulsory. The truth is we do need a defense force given the world, but it'd also be nice to have americorps or something expanded to fit the service option. Make military service more enticing than the other, I don't care, but provide room and board, and a spending allowance at the very least for both.
That movie was successful in making my eyes leak in the theater. It's on prime video now.
God damn vic was just so damn good. Like everyone killed it and the episode was a great way to kick off the aeason.
