Top Comments of this video!! :3
What LTT did to Billet Labs is out of this world crazy stupid. And then to have a come back of something like "I didn't sell it, I auctioned it" really made me question the authority we've given him as a collective whole through subscriptions and everything else.
Then there's this gem:
LTT's response after Steve's video: "While we haven't sent payment yet, we have already agreed to compensate Billet Labs for the cost of their prototype"
So then Gamers Nexus to Billet Labs seeing the above as part of LTT's response to Steve's video: "[Linus' comment] doesn't expressly say it, but it seems to imply that this agreement was made previously"
Billet Labs to Gamers Nexus: "No. Absolutely not. No, no, no. The only mention of any money to do with the prototype was our response to them [after they said] they'd auctioned it, and we basically said, you know, that was a [redacted dollar amount] prototype."... ... "I said do you plan to reimburse us for this? And we heard nothing. We didn't get a response until your video."

Linus really blew it, not only with the shoddy reporting, which Steve called him out for, but the terribly unprofessional way they treated the cooler company. LTT could be and perhaps should be sued for this. If that wasn't enough, Linus doubling down as if he is the victim makes him look like a whiney b*tch, not sorry for what he did, but for getting called out for it. Steve absolutely DID NOT owe Linus a call. If anything, that would have made GN complicit in the misrepresentation by LTT. It will take Linus a long time to restore his credibility and unless he owns this, he will never be credible.

RIP Linus, he lived long enough to be surrounded by yes-men and drank his own medicine
