According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

Money and fame went to linus' head, didn't think it would happen considering they preach to be transparent but here it is.

If only that bald guy at LTT would have kept his mouth shut about how their testing was better than GN/Hardware Unboxed, all this drama wouldn't have blown up on ltt's face LMFAO

Do you happen to have a link to that video? I unsubbed from these clowns a long time ago, so I have no clue where I would even find it. I'm curious to see that clip now.

GN's first video shows that bald guy, so just watch the first video.

Why in the hell would a one sentence comment that's just stating a fact get down voted three times?

Just honestly curious about this one.

Maybe someone was not happy that you did not provide the requested link. Whatever, you're good.

I may just be emotionally distanced enough from the channel to feel this way but I feel like this just isn't that big of a deal. At worst everything seems like negligence and/or incompetence and I don't see his main audience caring unless they already have a few bones to pick with Linus personally like a lot of people in these comments seem to.

The cover up is worse than the crime. Being wrong like that is bad, but it’s fixable and understandable the way the company is growing. Selling the prototype is a huge deal, both ethically and for future collaborations. But his statement after the fact stopped me from re-subbing to Floatplane. The response pissed me off.

GN absolutely destroys Linus in this video. I mean Linus gave him all the ammo by repeatedly lying and not owning up his mistakes, but still. He's calling like it is, without any sugarcoating.

I did change my sub from LTT to GN.

Nah.

GN didnt destroy Linus.

GN just assembled everything into a easily digestable package.

It was Linus's Ego that destroyed Linus.
