Because this thread is just so fucking busy and the LTT topic is totally distracting from other hot bits of discussion right?

Shut the fuck up.

I don’t think that at all I just think it’s dumber than twitch drama.

But, did I miss what really, specifically, made Steve target them? There's 100,000 different tech channels that do as bad or worse than LTT. Is it because LTT is so large and has such reach Steve feels the need to defend consumers from the bad actions of LMG? Power supplies blowing up and other consumer advocacy things that GN has been involved in seemed a bit more egregious and seriously related to consumer safety or straight up theft.

It just seems like there's a whole layer behind the scenes that we aren't seeing and Steve is trying to handle it as diplomatically as possible and in the way Tech Jesus knows how to do it.

Crazy videos though.

After the backpack warranty thing, GN clarified their position on LMG. They don't view them as fellow youtubers anymore and see them as just another company. When they fuck up and it's relevant to what GN does, they will cover it.

The whole "apology" thing felt so fake. And then it's just a bunch of "But..." rather than leaning into "We'll be better".

Classic example of what happens when you go full corpo.

They messed up in the apology and showed how much Billet Labs estimated the prototype cost which they didn't want public. They later stealth edited the video to blur that part out.

Well they pinned that they edited it. I did read there’s still a frame you can see the price but i don’t care enough to look. They also demonitized it after enough people gave them shit lol

Linus hates be corrected and told he is wrong about things. This clip here is a good example how he instantly gets defensive when someone tries to correct him even though he is wrong and sounds like an idiot. He must be a horrible boss to work for.

You sure took a lot away from a very benign video lol.

looks like Linus is fucked. People are leaving and beginning to talk. Now the real shit starts to surface. That bitch ass should have taken the 100 mill and just fucked off. I bet in a few months the brand new CEO quietly leaves and Linus will spin it that he has to take change again to turn things around.

Taking anything that lady says after saying "mental health" as legit is just being dumb.

Its been so long since I watched a Linus video. I just assumed he was still a guy making videos in his basement on a shitty camera. Not some mega corp company.
