I love how the only historical discussion on the topic he found was a HN discussion from 2019 where at least one person was confidently claiming they don’t steal affiliate commissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21589273

That's not the only one, Linus website had the same discussion an the confirmation that it did happen and lead to an end of their partnership

Yes, true, I should have said the HN thread was “one of the few discussions” not “the only discussion.” HN discussion was much earlier than the LTT one though.
