As scathing as the video was, I feel it was very important. It was not an attack, and should not be taken as one. However the blindsiding of such a video can feel like one, It should be taken as a valid criticism (to which Linus appears to be somewhat doing), and then fair/reasonable action be taken upon that criticism. I believe Steve spoke for what many of us have been thinking for a while. I do also believe that Steve should have reached out for comment prior to publishing, and to not have done so is in poor taste. He's reached out for comments from many vendors/manufacturers/etc on videos of this nature in the past. However it's important to remember that the lack of LMGs comments within the video do not negate the findings and general public opinions of these findings. Comments will also not undo the existing errors and issues in the video creation workflow. Only given a confirmation that LMG was aware of these issues creeping in.
 
Viewers should put down pitch-forks and think clearly. Take a level headed approach. We never want to drive away competition in any space. Both GN and LMG have stated time and time again that competition drives innovation, and betters the outcome for the consumers. Competitors in the industry should hold each other accountable, especially when accuracy is the point in question.
 
Linus has made it clear that he intends this to not become a PR headed social media jabbing contest, and stated that this is being worked on with better content on the near horizon. With that in mind, I hope and believe that there will be positive outcomes from this. Hopefully this is what LMG needed to refocus and double down on what matters most. Quality over quantity. Always. "One home run is much better than two doubles".
