I'm skeptical on some of the alleged office drama but the contract stuff if true, doesn't speak well for LTT.
Very underrated movie.
LMG only responded to billet after the GN video went public. But they pretend that was already a done deal. It only makes them look worse. It would all blow over if he only accepted responsibility, but he refuses to even admit any fault at all. This is a bud light level implosion event from Linus, and they deserve every bit of it.Not the only possible reason, would have wanted for example to be clearer that the selling auction was a charity one from a miscommunication that they agreed with step to reimburse the custom prototyping (which GN would have been free to include or not, with the response from the startup to let the audience judge by themselve).
Chris Titus with some concerns
"..and how do you justify positively reviewing products you're partial owner in? You know, I mean this very sincerely when I say that Linus should just do everyone a favor and go to sleep and never wake up."

Remember GN's video would've never been made if LTT didn't attack them first in their lab tour video, calling their reviews bad for re-using data and not testing everything again. So was that not self serving by LTT in the first place? It is bad sportmanship to call out your competition instead of showing what you are good in.Never seen this channel pop up into my feed before. Pretty decent take to me on it. Maybe I missed something did Billetlabs contact GN first about the whole prototype being auctioned off issue or did GN take it upon themselves to do this and nuke LMG? A lot of this just feels so Self Serving for GN.
Steve contacted Billet after Linus claimed that they already agreed to reimburse them. Which turns out was a lie. They only responded to the reimbursement request after GN's video was published. This for me shows the true colors of Linus, and there is no redemption arc from here.Steve contacted Billetlabs after Linus said he auctioned off the block instead of selling it (I think).
I don't follow LTT that closely and I don't follow GN basically at all so I didn't see that happen but that's a bad look again on LTT then. Guess GN took it really hard and they spent months trying to get back at LTT. Either way, neither GN nor LTT came out of this well in my eyes.Remember GN's video would've never been made if LTT didn't attack them first in their lab tour video, calling their reviews bad for re-using data and not testing everything again.

You mean, they put their brand on it. He used to work at NCIX and would review hardware etc. - and then branched off. He became more about money later on with promoting whatever (i.e. creating commercials) and having the same dorky type of videos. I've read that he's overly obsessed with money - and the 'boasting videos' which I've never watched seems to suggest that's probably accurate.They also develop and sell their own products; t-shirts, backpacks, screwdrivers, etc.
I watched the video and how he put emphasis on the "$500 dollars," as if it's some large chunk of money was cringe worthy. I guess if you're the average LTT viewer, there's a solid chance that $500 is a lot, so, I guess to them that would make it okay... I guess? Me personally I think $500 to QA a video that's probably going to make you $10's of thousands of dollars is chump change, especially when it's your main source of revenue.Saying that LTT's problem is GN's video, is so wrong that it boils my mind. LTT's problem is clearly shoddy practices, non-existent QA, and refusing to accept any responsibility for it. Or even act apologetic. Linus saying that he doesn't want to spend an extra 200-500 on a video to make sure it is accurate, is a statement that frankly should make all viewers immediately stop consuming his content.
Also where are you quoting from? That line is not in this video from what I can see.
The trick is to use youtube's chapters feature to skip to the parts that look interesting ^_^I watched the video and how he put emphasis on the "$500 dollars," as if it's some large chunk of money was cringe worthy.

I've barely started warming up to Gamers Nexus, but I think a lot of my gripes with Steve and GN is how freaking long their videos are, and how in-depth they go when I'm just looking for a simple answer to a question--no, I don't need to know what color the screws are in that case, or exactly how much contact is being made between the thermal plate and the backside of a GPU, just get to the performance and thermals and then talk about the rest! There's a time and place where I could sit down and consume an entire video, but sometimes... it's just too much fluff to take in.

Not entirely by accident, contains much less Linus ^_^
I'm honestly impressed that they're going to put videos on hold for a week. Okay second attempt at a restart after that false one.
Until you realize they are deleting comments referencing the Madison situation.Much better reaction:
The fact he begins at $100 is even more baffling, moreover since they're Canadian bucksI watched the video and how he put emphasis on the "$500 dollars," as if it's some large chunk of money was cringe worthy.

Edit: naturally, the worst part is Linus finding excuses for that watercooler situation.
Heh, I "pirated" the video, so I didn't get those ^_^... I got 2 ads at the start which I assume means the video is monetized, too.

I'm skeptical on the whole thing. She made a LONG list of very different kinds of workplace issues, including some "go to" stories for people trying to get attention for ulterior motives. Would be hard to believe that ALL of that hasn't come out before. But maybe LTT was just lucky. However her whole story comes apart when she says she cut her leg open to go to the ER so that she would have an excuse to take time off. If that's true, that is a sign of mental illness in direct relation to this situation she was supposedly in, which calls into question the legitimacy of all her other complaints. Any somewhat rational person would have pursued one of multiple other paths, including possibly quitting or contacting a lawyer. Especially in Canada where labor rights are at least a little stronger than the US.Former employee speaks out on the twitters:

Don't ever forget how LTT became "POPULAR."
I remember before I would ever watch LTT, that I would see their video thumbnails CONSTANTLY on nearly every video I would watch on Youtube, no matter if it was tech related or not.
LTT was forcing themselves into everyone's view, probably with some Youtube corpo corruption, or just raw money-for-views, and his rise to fame was never organic. Never forget all those stupid, clickbaity thumbnails. He knew what he was doing, and at no point did he ever stop. He wanted fame and money and anyone who dares speak of him now only encourages it.
He really clawed his way to the top using whatever means existed. That is the nature of how to survive, thrive, and engage in evolution.
There are no limits, and every ethic is subjective, and therefore absolutely false. He did what he did, and the results are what they are. He is rich and famous and powerful, and the rest of us are his prey.
The fact that this topic, a topic on mere HUMANS, has become seven pages, as if drama about journalists was the same as "Cool Technology Discussion," is of course a blight that I notice, but everyone else seems to have forgotten that "All Publicity is Good Publicity."
It’s kind of interesting in bits and pieces but every time he does one of those videos I have a feeling he’s trying to write off his house off as a business expense.
I hate both tbh lmao.Whether I like Linus or not - when it comes to stuff like this - don't hate the playa, hate the game - he'd be dumb if he could and didn't try - besides, it's not my tax dollars

Being able to skim and get to relevant points is one of the great benefits of text.too many people have short attention spans and only skip to the Conclusions part of a written or YouTube review...so in the end I think video reviews are better in that it probably keeps the ADD tech crowd a bit more engaged
After watching that I immediately side with Linus.
Sites like Twitter are full of such people.Look at her Twitter. She is a mental health case.
Yeah, people that publish their opinions without running them through the front of their brains dominate social media.Sites like Twitter are full of such people.
Exactly this. This is the reason I dont have facebook, Twitter (whatever the fuck it is today) or any social media accounts. Too many fucking idiots on the internet.Yeah, people that publish their opinions without running them through the front of their brains dominate social media.
