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

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.

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

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.

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