If at first you fail...
Look for bailout...
Summary: Swapnil 'Spamnil' Bhartiya is turning the authoritative site Linux.com into a self-promotional 'spam farm'. His YouTube channel is failing (see above), so now he's just wiping the floor with Linux.com, a domain that hundreds of people poured their lives into for two decades (until the Linux Foundation (LF) suddenly fired everybody in 2019); this is part of a pattern wherein Zemlin et al. help people from the Foundation create their private companies, externally, and then funnel LF funds to them (for peripheral PR services, sometimes for Microsoft) despite it being an immoral practice which jeopardises the LF's IRS status and tarnishes the "Linux" brand.
