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.

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.

I may just be emotionally distanced enough from the channel to feel this way but I feel like this just isn't that big of a deal. At worst everything seems like negligence and/or incompetence and I don't see his main audience caring unless they already have a few bones to pick with Linus personally like a lot of people in these comments seem to.

Occasional inaccuracies/mistakes are to be expected and are excusable; but a regular and consistent pattern of these mistakes bridges the gap to willful, almost intentional, negligence.

That is not ok. (and is a huge part of why I don't regularly watch LTT anymore.)

LTT has chosen to focus on quantity instead of quality, so much so that the quality has slipped well below what many find useful/helpful. Having lots of content isn't beneficial if none of that content holds any value so far fewer people want to watch it.

I think pretty much any creator can agree 1 banger video with 100m views is far better than producing 100videos each only getting 1m.

Put more effort into quality; then reaching that self-imposed weekly video count won't be so important to the bottom line.
