People Keep Shouting Into the Void of My YouTube Interview With Linden Lab's CEO from Some 6 Months Ago

I'm not sure how often this happens with interviews of other CEOs of other game companies, but I continue watching in fascination as random Internet people keep showing up on my YouTube page to post Comments directed at Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg or at no one particular in response to my interview with him that was published nearly half a year ago. Here's a recent sample:

As far as I'm concerned, SL has always been in BETA. The improvements I've seen over the last 12 years are absolutely wonderful. It might be slow, but since Ebbe took over, the direction we're going in is exactly what we need. He made a real effort to understand the users. As diverse as we are, he gets it. Yes, there are those who can't deal with change. Some have even left forever. In my humble opinion, they missed out.

I remember when I had a social circle in second life but now my friends don’t remember me

If a AAA developer copys sl and makes ..say 3rd life but with no lag and better 3D models would anyone switch?

I still jump on second life when I want to switch off and play Barbie so to speak, but it’s pretty depressing sometimes. All the places you remember are gone, everything is empty...

I met my RL husband in SL....8 YEARS AGO and still going strong!! Thank you Ebbe!!

 

liza kvk3 - months ago

Have you all forgotten about blocksworld? Please, bring more updates back, it’s been 3 years and nothing has happened, also, my user is ÄVØRŸ888 and I lost all my self made models and cannot publish anything, please fix it

 

... And so on and so forth, with nearly 200 replies so far, many ridiculous, some quite perceptive, others poignant. Maybe someone on Linden Lab's social team will finally notice.

There definitely ARE a lot of questions posted under the interview, also a lot of comments. You are right, many are absurd.(No. Ebbe can not help you find your lost stuff.) Interesting how many questions come from the tech industry OUTSIDE of SL.

Ebbe, certainly seemed comfortable doing the interview. Maybe it is something he should try to do every month, or at least every 90 days or so? He could even wear a different beanie for each interview. It would certainly help build a lot of confidence with residents.

Playing devil's advocate, I doubt Ebbe, or anyone at SL would be interested at LL would be interested in doing this on a regular basis if the first question going to be: "When is BLANK going to be done?" or "Why is there so much sex in SL!" or "How is that lawsuit going?" I would THINK the CEO has more important things to do than answer questions that have been asked and answered a dozen times.

agreeing with Soda, maybe at least a twice yearly update from our linden daddy would be appropriated.

Yes prices are too high, the higher surcharge for buying lindens is stupid considering buying $5 in lindens with charge is $6.50 considering so many in SL are retired,disabled or live in a country with a very low living rate.

Homesteads should cost no more then $75 and full regions no more then $150 and owning a homestead should not require owning a full region!

We all know our linden tax's are not going to upgrading SL but sunk into Sansar. where are our promised mirrors in SL? ...yes several years later still stuck in a JIRA... i digress!

@Sheriff Tayler What an unkind thing to say!

Wagner, why are you surprised? It's on Youtube, people will post comments forever if commenting is allowed. Videos that are *years* old get comments.
I had a comment a couple of days ago on a video I posted NINE years ago!
At least it shows people are interested :)
