Social media influencers were a mistake. Now zoomie zoom-zooms think that if someone calls out Linus is mad because they're poor or irrelevant, because that's the only reason you'd diss someone.

I'm sure you can find more gems like this if you keep digging through the comments.

It's amazing how many dick riders these content creaters get that will defend fucking everything they do. Textbook NPC behavior.

What are the chances Linus fires Tim the engineer because he "opened the floodgates" so to speak, ignoring how everyone else on his staff contributed to straw breaking the camel's back? It only makes leaf sense to fire the guy with skills as opposed to being some fat, bearded freak who thinks he's the wittiest writer ever.

If Tranthony starts showing up in more things, you know Linus is feeling the heat and is using the tranny shield to defend him and his company.

And now for something, completely different.

A rather heartfelt comment and Steve's response, where he felt honored that he reminded someone of John Bain, someone Steve looked up to and actually talked to back when he was the only person running GN.

That would be a terrible choice. Linuse defended him on Wan show, he took ownership of the comment.

Also, if there was nothing to criticise, the comment would not have opened anything.

Tbh to me it seems the "engineers" are bad at their job. Their role is not just about having knowledge, but also making sure that what they push out is accurate and communicated correctly, both internally and externally. They also often miss the point of the numbers. Does it matter if it is 50 or 52? In some cases it might, in others it won't. (Also those visualisations are bad. If one is a max and another is the average, you should not put them in different colors in the same chart; it looks like they are testing 4 coolers. Red/Green/Yellow are not "random" colors, and they shouldn't be used for normal categories. I could continue sperging on how bad the charts are, but it is far too autistic... okay, one stupid last thing: why does the x-axis go to 100? It is not a % where you may want to show the full range)

This is a pile up of mistakes which will be extremely difficult to fix. Too many employees in non-necessary roles, too few employees in key roles, a posting schedule that outpaces the release of new products and leaves them out of ideas/good content, people with know-how leaving, a multi-million project that is not giving results and instead harming the company, etc... I am now waiting for the CEO to not even start.

I am not a tech person, but I feel it would have been more cost effective to leverage their large pool of employees to push more "real life" testing. They did those in the past and people like those videos - can you actually tell if this is different/better?

The Billet Labs shit is so genuinely awful and scummy that it has actually, unironically, made me for bad for those Brits.
I didn't even think that was possible.

This part keeps getting worse. Like Steve suggested, what if a big competitor bought the prototype at the auction? Not only that startup got fucked by the LTT video but their idea could be stolen too.

Just auctioning off the cooler from that UK startup is fucking evil, while they told him they needed it back asap. Fucking up the test on it and bashing the shit out of it is bad too, and pretty gay, but just selling the fucking cooler on your gay ass convention floor is evil.

I can't help but thinking that one of his corporate shills told him to fuck them over.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he and his crew are just so negligent they just grabbed a bunch of items and put that shit up for auction.

Alternatively, wouldn't put it past him to go, "well fuck this guy, what's the worst that can happen?"

Just got to the part in the GN video where Linus said he couldn't justify spending $100-$500 of his employees time to test a product properly. Doing shit properly is the entire reason you buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gear and a multi-million dollar workspace. You wanted to go legitimate, and when you go legitimate, you're supposed to do shit "the right way." Then you go and auctioned the device off after telling the original creator you'd send it back

I know you exist up there in Maple Land and shit's weird; but suck start a shotgun Linus.
