Well maybe they shouldn't.

So maybe this is old stuff.

But anyway. Still funny.

But in general people in Linux on e.g. YouTube try to silence the 
critics, try to keep the dirty laundry from getting out, saying that 
keeping quiet and filing bugs is a better way to improve stuff than 
"hanging stuff by the big clock".

But this censorship style is nothing to be proud of.

So there is not really a great deal of critical (or even non-critical) 
Linux-content on Youtube.

Being allowed to voice concern is the pinnacle of democracy, and 
evolution even.

So any attempt to silence people is going to be met by at least me with 
contempt.
