Technically you are right.
 
So, as an engineer I have to confirm that "technically correct" is the best form of "correct". ...
 
Fixed it.

Seems like a lot of you guys really put your heart into the LMG-community. That would at least explain this intensity of this discussion.
 
The main discussion seems to be about the question whether Linus lied in that video a year ago. As a big part of LMGs success is the trust we viewers have in their words I understand why this is such a big question/discussion.
There are two (main) ways the term "lying" would fit here:
Linus meant every "LMG"-content, also the stuff they do outside of LTT, CSF, TQ. Like their adds and this exclusive vessel series. Linus knew about the possibility of future extra content, but didn't want to raise a discussion, so he used that wording. To be honest, I don't think that either of those are what happened.
Much more likely:
When Linus said "all LMG content" he was thinking about everything, that the audience at that time knew and the move to Vessel was about: LTT, CSF, TQ. Which is exactly what he explained in his post at page 7 or so.
 
 
So please stop bitching around. Yes, Linus did a mistake. But he wasn't unhonest, just inaccurate with his wording. If you take his sentence back then word by word it was technically incorrect. So what?

Why are you trying so hard to put that term "lying" into this question?
 
LMG has multiple sources of finances to pay for the content they make:
youtube ad revenue forum contributors merch vessel revenue sponsorships patreons (in case of CSF) On the other side there is the content they produce:
LinusTechTips Channel Super Fun (Yes Berkel, I name it at second position  ) TechQuickie  
But they also have content that doesn't have anything to do this any of the above: videos that are totally financed by someone else, like the ad for intel/5G.
They have done those contract works in the past and will probably continue to do so. Which is totally fine in my optinion, as it helps LMG to pay the bills and paychecks.
 
The series "nerd sports" or what they call it falls into this category: contract work for someone else, completely paid by that company. Therefore the provided content is property of said company. 
 
There is however one difference with nerd sports: It's content that most viewers of LMG would love to watch (including me), but they don't get access to it, unless they pay for Vessel.
But that is nothing to blame Linus for.
