Kudos to Niccolò for openly speaking about his mistake of incorrectly stating his video was not sponsored. However I think he made a second mistake which is more serve. As a content creator he must pay more attention to what companies he's accepting sponsorship from. Given the track record of malibal, this should have been a red flag in the first place.

When you let anyone make a “TV channel” even when they don’t have a legal team.

That comes from a position of privilege though. Getting to choose which companies sponsor you is only viable if your channel is large or you have multiple options to pick from.

It’s a privilege to not have to worry about making a living.

So, I cant watch the video right now

Is this like a shitpost, or one of these Clickbait Videos where someone tries to download linux and they just tripped some captcha system, so now they clickbait that to infinity?

Its about Malibal, an infamous linux/windows hardware company. The person in the video is a KDE dev (Niccolo).

additionally Brodie Robertson did a video about Malibal banning countries back in October: Youtube, PeerTube

with one post, Malibal turned itself into a joke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
