alt Hacker NewsWho is this “theo” person and why are multiple people quoting him? He seems to have little to say that’s substantive at this point.

He’s a streamer who talks about tech. Previously had a sponsorship relationship with Vercel so is theoretically more well connected than average on the topic. He’s also very divisive because he does a lot of ragebait, grievance reporting, and contrarian takes but famously has blind spots for a few companies and technologies that he’s favored in past videos or been sponsored by. I have friends who watch a lot of his videos but I’ve never been able to get into it.
Theo Browne is a reasonably well known YouTuber & YC founder.
He is a paid Vercel shill (literally, he does sponsored content for them on his YouTube channel)
YT tech vlogger
He’s a tech influencer, probably getting quoted here because he has the biggest reach of people covering this so far.
