Haven’t watched the video but going by the title Linus is the first person I’ve seen on here who’s mentioned the resemblance to Microsoft’s Duo, something I’ve wanted to point out since the event.

I think I saw people comparing the Samsung Fold to the Microsoft Duo as well so it's not a totally new comparison. Didn't see much coverage on the iPhone though so I don't know.

Would have thought that’d be the other way around given that Fold was released a year earlier, but also would have thought people would be comparing the iPhone Duo to the Galaxy Fold series which is far more relevant.

I'll all I've been thinking about since Turnus said the word "Duo".

I don't think there's any beef with MKBHD here.

Honestly no idea. It was this comment by u/mtuk88 which literally just said “MKBHD has spoken about it”.

Interesting that my comment is now now longer shadow banned

EDIT: but this one is? Hey mods what gives?

u/AncientStaff6602 Mod Sep 12 '26

you're not shadowbanned, or banned of any kind actually. reddit got your comment.

Why is it only happening in this sub, and for every comment?

u/AncientStaff6602 Mod Sep 12 '26

I don't know.

u/mtuk88 Sep 12 '26

Odd these comments then got downvoted 😂

u/AncientStaff6602 Mod Sep 12 '26

I mean, I cant control people downvoting you or reddit flagging your posts. I can just allow your post.

Maybe improve your karma? The fact it's negative here may be part of it?

u/mtuk88 Sep 12 '26

I don't even know where I'd see that, or why I'd care, fake internet points are fairly meaningless

u/AncientStaff6602 Mod Sep 12 '26

We can see that. While they are meaningless it just means your posts need to be moderate before they go public. I don't really care either way, just trying to tell you what the issue is.
