According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

Money and fame went to linus' head, didn't think it would happen considering they preach to be transparent but here it is.

If only that bald guy at LTT would have kept his mouth shut about how their testing was better than GN/Hardware Unboxed, all this drama wouldn't have blown up on ltt's face LMFAO

I straight up had the shocked Pikachu face when he said that. Being someone with a background in chemistry, I love the level of care GN puts into their testing. To have an LTT employeee be so fucking brazen with how they shit on someone WHO DOES IT RIGHT made me unsub right then and there. Linus' reaction only made me feel even more secure in my choice.

Don’t put it on the employee when the Owner is the problem.

Do you happen to have a link to that video? I unsubbed from these clowns a long time ago, so I have no clue where I would even find it. I'm curious to see that clip now.

It was someone else's video, where they took a tour of Linus's studio

GN's first video shows that bald guy, so just watch the first video.

I know that it's true and the guy did say that but this is never a good thing to say. Primary sources are best. I can't find the origional video myself but it looks like some sort of labs tour

~~It might be on their new channel that they have for the labs, which is why you may not have been able to find it.~~

But what was put in the GN video is literally the same video segment, so you don't need to go look for that other one.

Why in the hell would a one sentence comment that's just stating a fact get down voted three times?

Just honestly curious about this one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe someone was not happy that you did not provide the requested link. Whatever, you're good.

[–] CosmicCleric 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it's the major video that everyone here is talking about.

At this point I figured that everyone's already seen the video, or else why would they be here commenting about it.

My bad I guess. /shrug

Oh, ya I did watch the first video. Well, technically I listened to it in the background. That's why I didn't get the reference to "the bald guy".

[–] CosmicCleric 0 points 1 year ago

Well, technically I listened to it in the background.

Appreciate the honesty, but you probably shouldn't comment on a video that you've only just listened to as background noise.

Do you have a link to that ltt video? I would love to watch that as well. Thanks.
