Rewatching Linus and Gamers Nexus after The Drama hits different
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2023
- After the recent events that happened between Linus Tech Tips and Gamers Nexus, from the criticism that started it all from the Linus Tech Tips Media Group Lab to the Video that Gamers Nexus has posted, I decided to make a video that includes old clips of Gamers Nexus and Linus Tech Tips having fun together, we will miss those guys working together because they are one of the best creators on the platform.

The saddest part while I edited this was when Gamers Nexus said
“Yet we co-exist peacefully and in a friendly fashion, because we do different types of content doesn’t mean we actually have to be enemies…”
I mean they probably aren't enemies, still, gn mentioned earlier that he had to hold lmg to high standards as a corpo, hence he had to distance himself
GN Steve was among the first to warn Linus about the channel hack, I don't think there's any burnt bridges there
You are really milking these...why???
@@lagpi you can never really know. Linus is a hot bag of air...it all depends if he thinks Steve is still his friend. SERIOUSLY Linus getting salty about HUB's tactless tweeter rant when his is way way way more tactless than them...
That's until Linus buy an PSU tester machine just after GN bought theirs... That was the beginnings of the end and people didn't see it. YoutueJesus wasn't happy with that... LOL
The golden days are over
I dream of a world where we hold politicians to the same accountability as youtubers.
stolen comment
well and the problem that linus has caused is he followed the cardinal rule of business which is dont hire your friends because friends become “yes men” instead of thinking whats best for the business. i called my company out recently for an entire part of the org being consisted of mostly “bros” meaning friends, and they couldnt keep anyone for 6 months because nobody was telling them what they needed to hear, they just told them what they wanted to hear
That would be terrible... most youtubers just comeback after awhile like nothing happened...
@@TheAccursedEntityyea and politicians act like nothing ever happened and stay forever
That would be an epic world, do politicians still hold some credit though? My take is , its all a facade.
I feel bad for Luke. That guy knows what's going to happen next whenever Linus speaks
Why? You don't think Luke enabled the overwork culture?
Luke is so screwed
@@lordy1952how so? I don't follow ltt lore closely
Its the "N-word" moment all over again
Wdym? Luke catchphrase is literally
"I DON'T KNOW"
He of course . . Doesn't know anything
The fact there are big numbers of people think GN is responding "childishly" or "unprofessional" is mind boggling. What is wrong with the world today?
everything has its fanboy even diablo4.
they will defend it even tho it is shit.
Just toxic fanboys who can't handle genuine criticism
Fanboys tie blindfolds over their eyes. That's why they can't distinguish between LMG and GN's actions
the world has always been like that. Remember, queens and kings still exist to this day
It's a popularity contest... LTT has more subs and a bigger fanbase and community also Linus is more charismatic so...... facts be damn they like him better and will ignore and attack anyone who says anything bad about him... ... That's just the way it works it 's like High school all over again..
Imagine investing your time, money, hard work and passion just for linus to misrepresent your prototype, trash it, and then auction it off to a potential competitor
And says your product is shit even though you knew that you didn't use the product right in the first place. Linus is a grifter and is no better than a CEO who has to line their own pockets, if it means that a family won't have food to put on the table.
Because....FUCKEM, thats why 😁👍
I can forgive him on the few errors here and there but this thing. No sorry. He fucked up so bad.
@@CoolSs and he sits there getting emotional over it.. like he didn't just not pay them and not give them money at all.. If you're having MAJOR logistical document errors like that where prototype technology and $1000 GPUs that aren't yours just go missing.. You need a SERIOUS internal review and inventory check
@@Gaetano.94 Did you not see who is accountable for the mistake. Clearly you don`t know how large companies work. Sometimes the staff do things that the boss can`t control. They mentioned what the reason was for the mistake. I`m sorry but the small amount of info that people have about the full story and then just judging people on that is stupid.
Linus: "You guys deserve the best damn content"
Also Linus: "... unless the test costs $200-500. In which case you guys don't deserve it. Also my company is worth $100m"
Tbqh top billed GPU costs 100 million dollars these days.
And spends over $100K on Red Cinema Camera which is unnecessary for RUclips.
His company isn't worth 100m anymore lol. Not after this fiasco. At best, evaluators would consider his company worth maybe 2 million now.
@@carterduchalard3019 nah not rlly, if he wants the best quality, let him have it, especially when this channel makes so much, maybe on youtube you cant rlly see the quality, but you definitely can in the original videos, which he all saves
What is it that Linus has said oh so very often? That such an amount might as well be a rounding error? 🤔🤔
Take me back to 2018 where everybody was a friend and GPUs were affordable to the middle class
I remember buying my $240 Sapphire Nitro++ RX 590 LE. That thing was a monster of a GPU! I could run any game I wanted on max settings @ 1080p60fps. These days, my RTX 3080 10GB can't get a consistent framerate on many modern titles!
Vote for Trump and we might have affordable prices again.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408I'M GONNA VOOOOOOOTE
@@RGInquisitor an RX 590? now that's a rare card!
@@marcox4358 I wouldn't be surprised. Tech RUclipsrs used to talk shit about it, claiming it was a refresh of the 580, which was a refresh of the 480 so "it wasn't worth it". I upgraded to it from a R9 380, and the jump was massive!
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
this is such a cringe line oh my god
And yet so true and real 😮
I cri evrytiem
Should've taken the 100mil offer
LTT will be fine regardless of what the bandwagoned sheep are saying, specially since Yvonne and the rest of the higher ups have intervene and clearly will push to curve his impulses and opinions.
I think it's a disservice to call it drama. Steve was just doing his job
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq lol
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq how much did you invest in LMG ?
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq you hear what you want to hear, i guess. talk about the sheer amount of copium you must've been inhaling to believe saying this garbage will somehow make Linus' words any more truthful.
@@DrSmugfacelmg is not a public company, sooooo, zero ?
This is the internet we are talking about, it will dramatize everything.
never trust someone who provides a commentary on their emotions instead of an apology
I mean i heard him say "im sorry" and "i owe you better"
Exactly
@@abd_cheese7353not to selling that prototype tho
He's Canadian and yet still cant say he's "sorry".
@@magnanimus96922:34
LTT employee: "The difference between us and someone like Gamer's Nexus and Hardware Unboxed is that we test new components, new tests, every time".
Linus: "This little sentence is gonna cost us 51 years!"
More like LTT ex-employee.
"our competitors are gay and they suck watch us instead !"
Yeah, we never learned who was that person who started this whole fiasco
Yea he’s part of the lab
yeah propably the same person doing the tests errors for the graphs lol.
Nobody is immune to criticism. Everybody has flaws. Linus should have taken the criticism professionally.
A good friend is someone who point out your flaws and tell you about those flaws in helping you make a better person.
I am not saying just go point every damn flaw in every other person. I am saying that if someone did something wrong and it is hurting someone else or him/her self then point out that mistake and help him by saying, Hey, you did this wrong and by doing that you make yourself better.
Totally agree, it's called constructive criticism.
And Linus knows this. It's advice he gave himself to others who were criticised and didn't respond in the best way. And still when he gets criticised, he feels personally attacked and gets overly defensive.
To be fair we don't know how much Steve and Linus have discussed these thing offline, but that begin said it didn't appear that there was a reach out to give or receive a comment from LMG just straight to trashing. Linus is arrogant and I think Steve is butt hurt LMG is moving into his space but neither one was wrong. Even back with the "trust me bro" Linus wasn't wrong, if him and Yvonne died in a plane crash tomorrow and LMG disappeared what good is a warranty you offered to make people feel safe "If you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed I will"
At the end of the day I like both and have been sub to both for many years but I've maybe only ever seen a dozen or two of GN vids not even all beginning to end and I'd say I've seen 70% of LMG vids even back to NCIX Tech Tips
@@chio987lmg is a big company, it's business, got call out errors and bullshit that hurts the consumer. It's not about being friends.
That's true but not really applicable in this case. Linus isn't just Linus, he's practically a shell of the person he used to be being puppeteered by the corporation that he created. You can't expect these people to respond with sincerity and humility, they'll much rather just give a call to their PR team and have them handle the situation, possibly resulting in a fake apology video or something similar. This is why his workers need to unionize and have their own say in these things. When someone loses their touch with reality, everyone else has a duty to pull them back to the ground.
Never challenge tech Jesus, thats the unspoken rule
I knew those sandals would bring him down eventually
Niktek making too much content out of this
@@AMAZINGDAVEhe always makes 100 billion videos out of every video
Even Jesus makes mistakes.
GN used to do sponsor videos in the past, although its a business and this is Capitalism, its just nature of business
@SMGJohn Jesus makes mistakes?
Do you mean the real Jesus?
We are in an age where adults acting like clowns/kids for entertainment is more valuable than integrity, accuracy, or truth.
100%. They are behaving like high school kids. First the leaked lab gossip, to GNs content cop video. What an absolute tea party this has been
Don't talk about republicans like that
@@justinoff1LMFAO accurate
Do you even know the situation? Linus had a lot of issues with his review videos that GN pointed out. Nothing childish there
Oof that's such a great words, but it's true 😬
I miss the old Linus , straight from the go Linus , Chop up the sould Linus , set on his goals Linus , I hate the new Linus, the bad mood Linus , the allways rude Linus , spaz in the news Linus...
Add another word with one or two syllables at "the bad mood Linus"
Can't have been easy for Steve to call out someone he knows professionally and personally. Remember, he was the one who called up Linus at 3am when he noticed their channel being hacked.
I like both LTT and GN, but the way LTT's attitude and what they did to Billet Labs prototype is just unforgiveable. You don't auction someone else's property, let alone a confidential one like a prototype.
Even if there was a miscommunication that they acknowledged (regarding the wrongly sent email or such), it still feels strange to put it up for auction, even if it's for charity. After all, it's someone else's property. Letting it remain in a warehouse for perhaps 6-12 months (it's a small sized product, not a big deal of space), until it's confirmed whether the owner will claim it, seems like a reasonable approach.
They did acknowledge that it was a mistake but the way they handled the aftermath is what is unforgivable.
dude that cooler sucked and cost sh*t ton of money ...
even if linus used the right card the cooler would still be absolutely trash for its price
yea what Linus did was wrong but it wasn't intentional! they auctioned it because of mismanagement, they didn't know billet labs wanted it back.
I can't believe how some of you guys ignore so many good informative videos of Linus and only see his mistakes
was such a small mistake worth it to make such a big drama? it's not like GN made that video to simple criticize linus anyway. he wanted to hurt his channels and gain attention towards himself. as you can see GN's second video about linus is much more aggressive and childish. he's basically insulting Linus with an aggressive tone
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq are you ignoring the fact that Linus quite literally sold a one of its kind prototype (maybe for charity but that is not the point here), meaning that now the company will have no way of actually doing anything with that prototype, and that includes improvising it. Not to mention that by doing so they've got the product exposed to rival companies who might grab it for more nefarious purposes. The fact is it doesn't even matter if the cooler was good or not. What matters is that he had no right to sell it or auction it, he had to return it back because it was one of its kind. That is simply not done. Don't be a fanboy for somebody who's never gonna defend you or come out to help you.
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq it is not up to Linus to decide if this product should be put on the shelves. IT'S NOT HIS. Simple AF. Even if it's the crappiest expensive watercooler in the world, he should've just done his job correctly, and returned the damn thing.
It's difficult to feel that much sympathy considering how Linus' ignorance were proven to be intentional.
no
Can you explain this a bit?
@@brian177 intentionally not giving his employees more time to work on a video so that they can sustain the quality ?
intentionally auctioning a company prototype unit when they've promised to return it ?
intentionally not testing the waterblock on the correct GPU model that it is intended to work with ? and then trash the product saying no one should buy it .
@RayLee-bp4qs It wasn't intentional. There was miscommunication with the auction, which Colton failed to take care of the situation.
@@virolex6961 it was, even GN commented about it afterwards
The biggest disrespect that LTT could have done was to put GN in the position they did and expect some favorable bias from GN. That puts GN on the hook with their own reputation where only they suffer a fallout that LTT could much more easily weather, but GN may not be able to. LTT essentially shot a friend in the face because they could not just deal with it like they know they should have after watching dozens of clusterfucks go down the exact same way from other brands.
Now the relationship is fractured because GN had the conviction to do the right thing.
Yeah, shit, that makes sense. *Top 10 tech betrayals*
Yeah. Imagine all this bad stuff coming out and GN not having said anything. It would make them seem complicit.
Say it again for the people in the back
Linus: I thought we were bros
Steve: It was never about being bros
"Trust Me Bro" .....
BOY HOWDY that did not age well huh?
GN weren't even beefing. It was literally just pointing out flaws in their testing and journalistic ethics. It wasnt like they put out a hit piece.
LTT could have addressed this easily and moved on if it wasnt for the Madisson stuff coming out shortly after.
But Linus addressed everything so badly before the Madison stuff came out
And that he owned up to.
This isn't drama between two media outlets, this is drama that's being stirred up people not even involved.
Madison is quiet because she feared that Linus fans start attacking her before "waterblock drama" started.
@@ErnestJay88 Sensible strategy. Linus would have ignored the Madison story completely and Madison would have gotten flooded with shitty computer nerd abuse.
@@omgtkseth I don't think you can confidently know that.
We have seen Linus chasing size and money, whilst Steve kept it small and pursued integrity.
I just hope that Steve will stay the same, even when he will hit the 10M Sub. Only future will tell 🤞
Steve has been growing massively since those videos , he was a one man show with some editing help living of an apartment, hes got a facility and employees now with tens of thousands of dollars in equipment
"kept it small and pursued integrity" well if one can change so does the other. never worship people.
1:17 Can’t believe the moment that started all of this fiasco was because of that Dollar Store Andrew Tate taunting to poke bear’s eye with that totally unnecessary claim
TBH, I don't think that's what caused this, but rather Linus' response in the WAN show afterwards. Instead of apologizing to GN about the comment, he instead went the "I'm sorry you feel that way" route.
@@RGInquisitorisn't Linus responding to Hardware Unboxed tweet in that wan show?
@@irvanray1898 He was, to some extent. He was also responding to Steve from GN as well. Both Steves were in communication with Linus, and I believe that on the WAN show he focused on GN more, since it's likely that they took the comment more seriously than HUB did.
"Dollar Store Andrew Tate" my sides....
Seriously, it's a very bad idea to start an apology video with "it's honestly really hard when people..."
It not only turns the apology into a whiny "oh woe is me!" rant, but it shifts blame. People don't like that.
Yeah, but in his defence, you can see how it psychologically affects you when people are calling you a thief and whatnot even if you know the true origin of the error. Linus clearly apologized to the community thereafter while acknowledging that he became emotional again. He is trying not to shift the blame which i am okay with. I didn't hate their apology video at all
@@abd_cheese7353You can tell that to your friends or to your therapist. Not to millions of people in an "apology video". At that point it just seems like manipulation.
A simple video with just Linus that says I f**.ked up would all that would be needed followed by the company will take some time off to resolve it all. Next video about Madison would be again i f**ked up and I’ll be reaching out to Madison to help resolve this. Simple but Linus made it worse with his blog rant and then that stupid corporate video where no one took any of this seriously cracking jokes about sponsors.
That was closer to the end of the video than the beginning lmao
@@abd_cheese7353 Except that's not a defense. If you aren't able to psychologically handle criticism you shouldn't be the face of any business. End of story.
I know for a fact that if Gamers Nexus messed up with a review, they would hold themselves accountable for it and own up about their mistakes. Steve wouldn't release a video saying "It's really hard when people get so upset about a simple mistake we made :( considering how accurate are testing usually is we would hope our audience would understand that these things happen."
It was good while it lasted. Rip LTT ❤
he'll be fine
@@YousefMohamedAbdulMoniem Linus will be fine. I wonder how the channel or company will fare.
Idk the drama, but everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect. It will be over, if Linus won't step up
Your comment makes my brain hurt. Sorry for the grammar policing.
It was good "while it lasted" or "till it ended"
Unless I'm missing something "till it lasted" does not make sense.
The Chanel is not going to die. In a couple of weeks the Internet will have forgotten like always
Linus really thought he could get away with this. Who knows what else is he hiding ?
Rampant abuse and overwork of employees
I wonder how many other small companies he fucked over
Not surprised tbh
CP?
He's joked about one of his editors having to blur his naked azz, meaning heis been happy to even have his editors have to see that.
used to write for a gaming magazine in the 90s that was at "war" about integrity with other gaming magazines in my small european country. I can't help but smile in what is happening, because I was 16 when that shit was happening, and I can't imagine dealing with this as a grown up :D
You wrote for a gaming magazine at 16?!
@@dv6342 Not exactly uncommon because in the 90s you wouldn't have a bunch of grown journalists go into gaming. It was beneath them.
Similarly to how Sherdog used to have press passes to attend UFC events. Back in the early days MMA was a bloodsport, human cockfighting, etc so some guy running a fan site from his home became one of the main journalists simply because he was one of the first to do it.
Interesting bro! Thanks for educating us from the other side of the globe. I also worked for narcissistic ceo so I watch this situation with popcorn and enjoy the fireworks 😁
@@ChucksSEADnDEADkind of gives me some perspective that it was actually peers in my age group writing EGM and whatnot.
"The bigger you are, the harder you fall."
Linus proved this quote
It is sad what's happening. We may have grown up with LTT but these recent issues will need to be sorted. If they do that. Maybe things can be better
They won't fix the problems. These problems have been brought to Linus' attention several times, yet they did nothing. In the apology video, he was being defensive and saying sorry in the manner that sorry you guys didn't agree.
He won't change because his narssictic personality won't let him.
@@gagnarork Well he's not technically the CEO anymore, perhaps the new one will be able to steer LMG into the right direction. He can probably abuse his CEO powers for good if he has the balls.
@@Cavi587 the new ceo reports to the shareholders. Guess who the primary shareholder is?
@@gagnarork Yeah. I should've assumed it wasn't this easy. Still, the only way they can still exist is to actually make good changes. Will they do it though? We'll see. Some things are deeply rooted in such companies, it's not easy to say "Well, we're different now".
There has been a group of people, who've followed Linus since his days in the house office, constantly saying to him everywhere they can that he needs to do better quality control, get facts right, and for the love of almighty make correct, consistent and readable graphs. But nope, Lie-nus being the narcissist he is didn't listen to actual feedback in time.
I think those frequent oopsies were part of his so-called charisma. He was "fun" and above caring about such matters.
Linus got a god complex after his huge success.
That's how it looks to me too. He was so cavalier about the GPU cooler situation. It's like he has so much money now he doesn't even care any more about what he's doing, or who he is stepping on. Not worth his big money time.
@@Blitnock now, I'm starting to believe that kid sui--side rumor during his ncix days after I've seen he's got a God complex.
@@jasonnegro5963what?
nah he got napoleon complex
@@timetraveler0002 I agree, it isn't actually a god complex. Also, the op has 69 likes right now, i couldn't click the thumbs up if i wanted to.
GN did nothing but his job and provided the true information for each benchmark they tested. Steve even acknowledged that sharing the film regarding the incident makes him uncomfortable, but he has to do it; why? Because it's his job, no matter what or how you're feeling, you must complete your duty as it is assigned to you, it is solely your responsibility to make it happen, and you choose to, putting friendship and feelings makes the quality of the work less efficient because you muster up unnecessary yet unwanted emotional energy towards your workload.
To summarize, never take things personally at work.
“The only thing cheaper than your [Linus’] sandals is your integrity”

How the mighty have fallen.
Steve never said that. Stop lying.
@@sarasa-sarason 7 months late, but he did. it was in The Roast of Linus Sebastian, so it was in good fun (at least when he said it).
Feel like this is making things feel way more parasocial and more dramatic than it needs to be. People who viewed Linus and his team as their best friend are now aware of the fact that they can actually have glaring flaws that need to be corrected.
Being called out on bad actions and mistakes, is correction. Being forced to take accountability is correction, especially when adhered to. Does it mean them apologizing and saying they'll address things means it's all water under the bridge?
No, of course not. Scrutiny should continue to make sure there aren't further issues like what transpired. But it's equally childish to go "Jimmy you lied to me about my computer I'm not your friend anymore i hate you".
As for claims of poor working environment and inappropriate behavior, that has to transpire gradually. After all, it hasn't been long since Bayonetta's VA literally lied about everything and had everyone running believing her and attacking Platinum Games only to find out it was all bullshit. Claims should be taken seriously but also not be jumped on to be taken as fact. ESPECIALLY with the timing of it.
Gamers Nexus did a good service both to viewers, and for Linus Media Group. Doesn't mean they're suddenly evil horrible people. But an issue occurs when you try treating an entertainer's word as gospel and elevate him to the likes of PC gaming God.
Yeah true . I think they are pretty cool people but they need to handle their job more professionally . I know alot of companies are unorganised and messy while making a ton of money but damn I don’t wanna see ltt in that position. Good thing is that community isn’t as emotional as iam . And they won’t feel sorry for them anyways.😂
I expected a lot more talk about the parasocial relation.
All this text with almost no content nad the last one is really funny. Who the fuq that is serious about PC gaming watch LTT? What is it you will get there?
Madison is telling the truth, it's obvious from her personality and the patterns we know about LMG.
Legally speaking: Corporations are people too. The kind of people who prioritize money over even their own people, no matter the consequences as long as the money is good & business can continue. If one would not defend a conman, carpet bagger, violent attacker then why defend a corporation or their owners?
A corporation can be analogized to a raging attack dog restrained by a thin leash & a distracted owner. There will be problems & they know it.
They don't care unless there are undesirable consequences which outweigh the money & power.
Let's take a moment to observe
The Narcissist's Prayer:
"That didn't happen
& if it did
It wasn't that bad
& if it was
It's not a big deal
& if it is
That's not my fault
& if it was
I didn't mean it
& if I did
You deserved it."
This isnt about not being "friends" or drama, I knew "content creators" would misunderstand this(for the sake of easy drama content)... This is about integrity, not emotions.
The apology video from LTT was exactly like watching one of DSP Gaming's rambles when he screws up and fake apologizes. You just know they're not gonna do everything that they said in that video.
1:17 the man who single handedly brought LTT crashing down.
hahahha %100, as soon as gamers nexus seen this, they went for them
Rule #1 of the internet. If you are going to accuse someone of lacking quality in content, it better be fucking true or you are in for hell
Rule #2: Before calling others lacking, make sure that you yourself are not also lacking
that was collective effort, guy at 1:17 just put the matchstick on the barrel with gunpowder xd

linus "adblocking is piracy" sebastian
That employee that took the first shot really got the ball rolling
The golden era between these two shall be never forgotten.
"I don't mention Nvidia because I'm contractually obligated to not mention the LTT's parent company"
That hits hard
LTT is just full on Nvidia shills. Going to conferences that are essentially free vacations and documenting it, while other channels point out the practice is bribery. LTT in general treats Nvidia like it's "just better" without any reasonable evidence. Yay walled garden ecosystem. Say this ecosystem drops a function that you based a build on, well you're screwed. Wasn't there some RAID system run off Nvidia GPUs? What happens when this proof of concept stops working, which a business server runs on? It's not legit, it's propaganda. Real businesses would be using linux servers, which Nvidia doesn't support. Nvidia sells you this fake "prosumer" model that has artificial support tiers. Gamers don't use any of the features, they're being marketed to with BS and charged extra for it. Somebody needs to step up and call a spade a spade with the scammery.

TBF, AI Linus cover of Toxic Gossip Train is better than his apology video.
Excellent video. The narrative presented is tragically funny for the audience. Very well edited with a great score.
Linus & his employees started this drama by throwing shade at Gamer Nexus. Gamer nexus simply responded with truth. LTT is not the gold standard of tech reviews their reviews are not credible so they should be self aware before insulting other channels
Cool? Yeah. But credible really streching it.
Exactly. Dude could have made the standalone statement, "we run new tests every time," and it would have been just fine. There was no need to make a claim at what GN & HWunboxed do. The real problem is that someone edited that video, sat and chewed on that statement for a minute and decided they liked the way it tasted.
I can't even fathom why would anyone think that LTT or well LMG ever was anywhere close to "gold standard". They never were, their specialization is short and entertaining stuff with tech products. Their longest reviews are phones, where Linus takes months to use a new one, but even then they aren't too detailed. To criticize LTT about scrutinized reviews is like being bitchy about burger not being perfect in McDonalds.
Yeah LTT monetized apology videos ain't helping LTT either...
They demonetized it
these videos are golden lmao, keep them up.
NikTek vids always on point!
I'm part of that demographic that had no idea this was happening although their pumping out of videos had me worried because there were most likely gonna get burned out eventually and I guess maybe that's what happened here. Which causes them to make too many unforgettable mistakes
That was a textbook youtuber apology video man "I'm gonna take some time off social media"
Bro come on. They clearly outlined exactly what they'll be doing in order to restructure and mitigate error in the future. They've already made progress
@@abd_cheese7353 yeah keep trying to convince people that Linus
Fantastic editing XD
We love you both, the both platforms are very fun and helped us a lot, so please get past the mistakes and refocus on the future
I think things will come right, it's just going to take time
I don't think GN thought this would cause this much fallout, and if Linus thinks this kind of fallout was intended then that's on him. And anyone who actually cares about the brand and image that they have created for themselves should welcome their friends and colleagues calling them out when they act badly. There's no reason they cant still be friendly after all of the dust settles.
If linus has any integrity at all he will realize this wasn't some sort of personal attack, and that GN is just trying to do whats best for the sake of everyone.
I do think Steve expected this to be a big blow for LTT. Props to him to still going ahead with it despite his personal feelingd.
This really does hit different I do hope things heal. It's actually sad seeing this after being a fan in this space for years.
Songname is "The first Hunter" from Bloodborne OST

2:44 Luke was like "what are you doing?". I always hated the laptop reviews from LTT did because they always associated laptops for gaming and set the quality of the laptop based on gaming rather than productivity
This video is classic :) Fantastic job.
Especially since it was Steve who texted Linus in the middle of the night to tell him he got hacked.
Both parties mentioned that this isn't a me vs him kinda situation, so I think we're in the clear for now
I mean they probably aren't enemies, still, gn mentioned earlier that he had to hold lmg to high standards as a corpo, hence he had to distance himself
GN Steve was among the first to warn Linus about the channel hack, I don't think there's any burnt bridges there
A few months ago it was Steve from GN who mentioned basically that with the built of the labs, it was going to be basically gloves off towards Linus since they are no longer the small niche tech company they once where but basically a 100+ staffed serious company. The things they do, they promote, matter. Have impact on the tech community.
To then be LTT and point towards GN and HarborUnboxed as being small and basically 'bad at testing' a few months later baffles me. Only point out others' mistakes if you are sure you don't make loads yourself. Guess the 100+ people company never got that memo.
Perfect editing 👏🏾
Thank you for making this.❤
Thanks for these videos. I’m now convinced that Steve has always been on our side, and that LTG should no longer exist
LTG you say, sounds like a combination of LTT and LMG lmao
i sure hate not having Light Trance Guns
low tier god?
Steve is a master chess player man…. He waited for this, he sat back and just gathered ammunition and he waited for just the right stink to unleash
That was a great video.!!! You should be working on documentaries or some type of film......... just amazing. After all the things I watched over the last 3 or 4 days, that was. just crazy good.
what a great soundtrack you have chosen
It really hurts watching these old videos with LTT and GN... Especially after watching them for years... :(
Agreed - The Roast was the reason I initially joined Floatplane...
Its honestly so sad to see. Fell in love with computers bc ltt and found so many other good channels and learned so much. But watching the rise and potential fall of ltt the past few years has been interesting.
This event's the most hilarious piece I've watched this year, thx both of 'em for bringing mirth to me😆
Two of my favorite creators and the inspiration of the basis of my day to day work. This is very awkward and painful
The whole "Trust me bro" drama with warranties in ltt store products is missing, Steve also called out Linus in that one
I haven't been on youtube for a little over 2 weeks, and I was surprised why LTT paused its production. I didn't know anything about the drama, and the long videos regarding these issues from LTT and Gamers Nexus were a little too much for me.
Thank you NikTek for summarizing all of that in a compact, fashionable meme type videos.
That's crazy.
P.s: I immediately knew I was about to see the Interstellar guy after reading the title of the video 😁
And Bam! The very first frame
LTT illegaly auctioned off someone elses prototype to the their competitors which almost crippled that small company, after bashing their product on video(they tested the product incorrectly). Besides that there are issues with linus not wanting to spend another 200 dollars on re-testing a product when the results seem off(his exact words on a podcast). There is also a huge sexual harrasment case against LMG, and they make biased reviews based on their relationship with the manufacturer. This was all pointed out in Gamer Nexus's video. I hope I made a good summary.
Ah I almost forgot, the response from Linus was just an unhinged rant and blaming others for these mistakes, while taking no accountability or feeling remorse. Then they tried making an apology video which they monetized and basically sponsored lmao.
@@vukvidanovic8276 Thank you vukvidanovic8276 for summarizing all of that in a compact text comment.
One question: What was the Prototype that was auctioned?
Appreciate it. So many things at once, That's crazy.
The blood borne music hits 😢
NikTek u rock bro, u are a hero a voice to the people, power to the people of good hearts.
Niktek going 7 stages of grief with these videos
Linus and Stephen might come out of this as professional friends just fine. They are both adults.
IMHO, Linus should be glad that GN called them out, there is obviously something wrong with LTT and if they dont see it them self, somebody got to tell them. I would probably be mad, but at the same time glad someone pointed it out so i can do it better.
was idubbbz acting like an adult when he made those content cops? or did he end up regretting it years later
@@AlpejohnIt's becoming clear now that Linus actually was doing some bad stuff and actively hiding it, like a toxic work environment, protecting abusive people working under him. A criminal is not going to thank anyone for bringing attention to their crimes.
@@partspluspods3689 you are acknowledging that years have passed since whatever it is you are talking about... so how is it even relevant? No one is perfect, and we are all hopefully growing all the time.
@@partspluspods3689content cops were just a callout/public accusation. It has roots stretching as far back as Abraham and the city of Ur. The format isn't any less mature just because idubbbz mixed-in personal insults with his more solid points.
I am definitly gonna miss catching a classic LTT video when they drop, wishing the best for those not involved but still affected
Damn you're right this hits man, hope this shit ain't ever happening again, seriously a major clusterfuck of a situation love both gn and ltt, hope to a good comeback for ltt.
Using the interstellar clip is hilarious😂😂😂 I would Fanboy for lioness before but now the fact he can't take responsibility he really is just off his rocker
Ha... Lioness..
linus should have sell lmg for 100 million when he had the chance
Beautiful video! 🥲
I LOVE THE BLOODBORNE SOUNDTRACK YOU PUT ON THIS
for anyone wondering: the song is: The First Hunter - SIE Sound Team from the game Bloodborne
Seeing your dedication in these last few days, you must be very happy that this happened.
Keep Milking content from it while it lasts 👍
was nice knowing linus tech tips
it's all downhill from here
0:22 oof the betrayal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔪🔪🔪🔪Steve is a true *Peerless Assassin*
btw these are amazing! keep em comin!
This made me tear up, I want to cry.
whyyyy, I love them both, u should do something NIKTEK
a reviewer worth $100m but cannot be bothered to run a $500 test properly doesn't deserve your love. his criticism almost wiped out the startup just trying to build a good product.
I don’t think they’ll ever see this Video, I hope that they’ll fix these issues and start working together again in collabs 🙏
@@NikTek that ship sailed the moment Linus started building the labs, i think Steve took it as a personal attack against all he created
@@Elinzar steve has no chill for bad labs that claim to be "accurate" when they are knowingly pushing bad quality reviews out.
@@derek400004 'wiped out a startup' bro after all this drama billet lab is definitely a lot more popular
Would this be the end of LTT?
It's a bit like Skype going down, only with more dramatic elements. And with a little background story. And a fate that means the loss of a team, which continues even now.
And..... true.... and not.
Skype? Going down?
Bruh I literally used Skype few hours ago for my Company purpose.
@@ClayWheeler Yes but:
Well, the truth is that here in Hungary we no longer use Skype. It's been about 2 years... we've been using Zoom ever since...
So.... yeah. Thats a True Story as about.
@@ClayWheeler
But the users (the current generation), it is true that they have already forgotten whether Skype exists. After all, recently there are applications that replace Skype, such as Zoom. Or something newer.
But I also use Skype. Skype just got so old that it was only on my computer and I didn't get an update for about 4 years...
@@KaktuLite_Original my company uses Skype to transfer Tens of Gigabytes of files everyday.
Zoom can't even do that. Even with Premium subscription.
These Linus/GN videos keep coming up on my feed, and they are flipping hilarious! You earned a new Sub from me. ;-)
1:54 Omg, you can SEE the look on Luke's face just change like, "Dude, I've saved your ass on here a million times, but this might be beyond my ability to fix."
We love them both and only want the best of what they can provide. It’s hard to see one fall beneath the bar that they held so high. I am Mathew McConaughey.
German's theme fits well since this whole situation gets tarnished with conflicting feelings for us who actually like both. It's rather bittersweet
It's like Obi and Anakin. Before the dark times....
Just like Rogue One! Great content as always!
