You have a bunch of shills there anyway. Some people complaining about how "Steve should've resolved this one callout in private" even though the entire video highlights a deeper problem with Linus' company.
It wasn't just the case of one LTT employee calling out GN and HU, it was the case of Steve noticing that Linus' company was being more and more irresponsible which started to impact consumers, therefore he stepped out and made a stink about it so that something can change for the good.
Linus' channel has over 10 million subscribers, he has massive leverage on the consumers because of that, and Steve's whole deal is that he aims for consumer rights, much like Louis Rossmann.
And of course you have the typical "Steve is just jealous of Linus' success". You know, the typical teenager who thinks the entire world revolves around clout and nothing else.
It really brings me joy that Linus' ego just took a massive hit with that video and he, like a proper narcissist, cannot handle it, and does his best to do damage control to make sure that it's not him at fault, it's everyone else and he's absolutely flawless in the situation.
"Auctioning it off due to miscommunication" is just pure blame shifting. "I'm not responsible for it, it's Billet Labs who's responsible for it because they weren't clear about it!". Which, I must say is immensely ironic given how RIGHT BEFORE THAT STATEMENT he complained about Steve not contacting him before making the video, even though he could've done the same with Billet Labs BEFORE doing the auctioning and he could've avoided all of it. But it's everyone else who has to contact HIM, not the other way around.
Whenever there's a fuckup done by his company, it's always "we" or "them". Never "I". He never admits to being at fault personally, even though he's the chief big dick of his own company. At least, before he placed a new CEO so that, once again, his ego would remain intact, because now, any major fuckup of his company lands on the new CEO, not him.
A lot of the shit he's writing is pure damage control corpospeak. "We're doing the best we can to improve things, it's not easy, you know". It
would be easy if you could actually take some effort into making sure that your company is properly managed. And with all the resources you have it would be possible, but I guess you're too much of a penny pinching twat if 500$ to redo the test was too much for your multi million dollar company.
Also, notice how whatever blame he attempts to actually take up on himself is about misrepresenting their product on their video, but he constantly avoids admitting that it is his fault that they've screwed over Billet with that prototype block. It was Billet's fault because they weren't clear, it was "our" fault because "we" miscommunicated.
No. It was
your fault.
You were the part of the video and
you could've actually read up on everything Billet sent you, but you didn't, because your ego didn't allow you to do so. You are the greatest smartest being alive, you can figure everything out. And not only have you misrepresented their product, you've clearly actively ignored
all communication from Billet. Because if you didn't, the misrepresentation fiasco wouldn't happen in the first place.
Then by the end it's just pure narcissistic "give me asspats". Dealt with issues "head on"? No, Linus, you never did that. You always doubled down whenever you fucked up like a coward. Not once you ever dared to fully, honestly admit to making a mistake. The "Trust Me Bro" T-shirts is a perfect representation of it. You tried to weasel your way out of the issue, and after people got too vocal about it, you've desperately attempted to keep your ego from shattering by giving a fuck-off warranty and releasing shitty T-shirts that were the epitome of "I'm not owned".
Unfortunately people will see what he wrote and will take it as face value, and treat Linus as someone who has dealt with the issue like an adult while making GN look like the infantile bullies, while it's the other way around. Steve has pointed out multiple flaws in how your company is ran with plenty of proof to support it, and instead of doing the same thing and showing equally damning proof that GN was at fault, all you've proven is that once again, you're too much of a coward to fight back whenever people stick needles in your most sensitive spots you don't want anyone to know about.
Linus, you are a narcissist. The only thing that matters to you is your ego. You're being ran into a corner, and the more you try to fight back the more this facade slips.
