I have to commend Linus for how he handles these things, and I agree with what was said in the video. I also have to add a personal admission/apology to Linus for my own past behavior on the forum. I very harshly criticized LTT for running this video a year and a half ago, a criticism to which Linus responded directly in a very similar drama-response-webcam-address. And while I stand by my negative opinion of the video itself, and from a channel quality standpoint I wish LTT never uploaded it, I jumped to conclusions and roasted Linus with totally conjectory statements - even while respecting Linus enormously for how far he went as a person since I started watching, for how far he's taken LTT with the talent he's brought on along the way, and for the many instances he demonstrated personal integrity that I admire. I was too willing to see LTT as a big machine that had essentially taken on a mind of its own and was no longer a direct extension of Linus's ideal content creation platform. I had no basis for reaching that conclusion except that LTT had grown and its content had changed accordingly. I should have either communicated with Linus directly or have shut up. I was wrong to have said what I said, and I regretted it as soon as Linus read my comment in his video response. As time has gone on I've become more and more careful to moderate my initial reaction to new information before running off with my own (or others') flawed assumptions, to give the benefit of the doubt, and to talk to people directly before making judgments in drama-laden situations like this. It makes life better and easier for everyone.

This is such a filthy money grab. I understand perfectly well how much money it can take to sustain a large business, but wow. The only reasonable explanation is that LMG has vastly overextended and can't sustain its enormous payroll and unjustifiable expenses (how many hundreds of thousands in camera gear?) without selling out its integrity to the highest bidder.

Asus Matrix for sure. Non-reference PCB, best cooling out of all of them, and it's overbuilt as fuck because that's what Asus does. Source: Have one, have had other Asus cards in the past.
