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.
45 minutes of Steve talking isn't an easily digestible package, sorry.
Yeah yeah, and if it was a 30 second tiktok like you wanted, you'd handwave it away as "Well he has no real proof, why should i care"
Incredible how true this is
With that god awful automated dubbing voice, or an ultra pretentious early-20s hipster voice from California. Keel me nao.
and subtitles that go word per word flashing on the screen with thousands of effects
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no.
Compared to sifting though God knows how many hours of LMG content to find this information yourself, it sure is. I was aware of perhaps two of the data accuracy issues Steve presents, prior to the GN video. And I had no idea about the Billet Labs thing, or that an LTX charity auction even happened.
That's what good reporting does. It takes complex issues with disparate data points, then makes connections and filters out the noise to make it digestible to a wide audience. It may be a long video, but having watched the whole thing, I'd say at least 90% of it is necessary to make the points being conveyed.
