    I didn't say it was acceptable.

    I meant that it makes me tend to believe her.

    Every time Linus talks about this now, he's basically justifying his own growing incompetence.
     
    And it gets funnier and funnier (or worse and worse) because the excuses he keeps giving from his unrepentant high stool are exactly the problems he needs to address. 
     
    Linus strikes me as someone who hasn't had to deal with high levels of responsibility before. His constant desire to simply get it over with doesn't help, and is helping him dig a deeper and deeper hole, and he clearly doesn't realize that.
     
    Well. What a way to learn. Hopefully he at least matures through trough this, realizing that his callous ignorance does have consequences, even if it might not seem fair (well, but it's fair to the victims of his?).

    This was something I experienced back in college.
     
    Our neighbor, a good friend of my mom, said that her computer was so slow. I did some troubleshooting and it was indeed loading to a crawl. It was running on WIndows 7 Home. When you clicked on the start button, there would be like a delay of 7-8 seconds before it showed the start menu. I had a bootable rescue CD at the time and the first thing I did was scan the hard drive for viruses. Lo and behold it had a crapton of viruses/malware. Managed to clean it but after booting back to Windows, I started getting BSODs. Thankfully I got into Safe Mode and did a system restore from there. I was able to get back into windows normally and checked folders and installed apps. Removed spam/spyware programs and the like. Then I noticed an oddly named folder that was in the program files folder. Clicked into the folder and I found hundreds of images and videos of "pr0n". Someone was clearly a bad boy. Now my neighbor didn't have any sons, she had 2 young daughters in elementary school so I assumed that this might have been downloaded by her husband. Lol.

    Didn't tell her I found the "pr0n" but I deleted them all and just told her I managed to clean her PC from viruses and the like and told her to invest in a good anti-virus.

    there was a response, and boy was it stupid. i cancelled an order i made on lttstore, which was supposed to be a birthday gift for my girlfriend. i'd rather show up empty handed than knowing im supporting someone who reacts to valid criticism like _this_. really, if i didnt know better, id say he is on coke the way he is behaving here.

    Since Linus only cares about money, the obvious thing to do is to cancel your Floatplane subscription. Also don't buy their merch. Who in their right mind is going to pay $250 USD or $70 USD for a backpack and screwdriver respectively?

    Honestly, as long time viewer (closing on 10 years), I would say Linus's "response" is more damning to him personally and the company than all the issues Steve mentioned in his video combined. I would like him to have a serious and long talk with the new CEO and other higher ups before writing any posts, off the hip style like this. I guess I would also like to give him the same advice Noctua gave him: If you want a superb product, you don't require superb employees, but you are required to give them the time and the resources.

    I think people who are focused on whether Steve gave Linus a chance to respond are treating this like some sort of fan-boy parasocial media relationship fantasy.
     
    You're not friends with these people.

    Their personalities and intrigues don't matter.
     
    Your fan fictions about whether you like them don't matter.
     
    It matters to LMG's employees if they're being pushed to make videos too fast and low quality.  
     
    It matters to LGM's future if people can trust that their videos will be accurate or not.  And it matters if companies can trust LMG not to just trash their businesses because Linus isn't getting enough sleep.

    Don't get fooled people, Gamer's Nexus claimed that there was no talk about compensation until minutes before Linus posted that comment. (Time stamp 3:59)
    Billet Labs said LMG ghosted them when they asked for reimbursement, and they only saw the email from Linus only after GN released that video...

    This was not a hit job, it did not lack journalistic integrity. You are crazy.
     
    Steve is one of very few people with the credibility and platform to make a video like this criticizing LMG. He did so on a factual, secular level, and did so to protect consumers and viewers.

    now we are here with EposVox saying on Twitter that he  isn't involved in this but he is IMO as he got himself involved with his comment under their newest video of the Fifine mic since the comment he made added enough to the whole debate

    This shenanigans is taking a whole new level. Is LTT the new NVIDIA? Perhaps they should adopt the Googles lost 'don't be evil' mantra.

    Exactly. This is business, not personal. Linus tried to keep it personal, where I would imagine he would have swept it under the rug and we would have been none the wiser.

    TBH whilst I have my grievances with GN (and I do, I am not a hypocrite, they took $100k for a fan testing machine from their viewers and have never used it) it took a lot of guts for Steve to do this. As it could have very easily gone one of two ways. 1. You ruin yourself and your life for speaking out or 2., as it would seem it is going, people appreciate you for it.
     
    TBH? what I am most impressed about with Steve was his basically turning off the monetisation for the video. He could have very easily made bank from this but did not. And let's face it, people love a "beef" and a bit of drama nowadays.
