TO EVERYONE ELSE hope ur havin a good day :D
Agree, harassing might even make the situation worse behind closed doors
hi feller like your stuff
:D
hi luddy ♥
Okay
Leave it to Lud to buy an alienware while having a business partner who literally has a custom PC building company.
who??
Charlie owns Star forge systems in partnership with otk I believe
So no nepotism? Good. 😎

It's so kind of Mogul Mail to shave his head so Ludwig wasn't alone in his punishment, so supportive!
isnt ludwig dead?
@@warmech0964thats what they tell you
nah it’s joe bartolozzi
it's the same person, mogul killed ludwig a while back
makes sense why ludwig suddenly also had a shaved head
As an IT guy hearing their lab results were wrong was highly upsetting. I don't have the funds to run a lab like that so I rely on those results as a metric when discussing hardware and now there's a chance I've been talking out of my ass because they goofed their quality control.
Hence why it's probably best not to base your opinion on a product off of one review alone and gather multiple sources.
@mariyastoyanova31 moot point since I wasn't speaking on forming an opinion, merely referencing the information as a metric for discussion/comparison.
@@commanderjericho My bad, since the main example were the mouse feet protectors, I thought it was in that realm of their content. Even so, still not a bad idea to cross reference performance stats from different channels.
@mariyastoyanova31 yeah I'll definitely be doing that from now on.
Yep, this completely ruined the trust in all of their reviews.
I'm really happy to see that you're thinking about not only your future, but the future of the people you employ. I feel like not enough creators look past the mountain tops of money they're making at the peak of their UA-cam fame and I just feel dread when I think about where they might end up. I'm just glad there's some rational people in the industry. Way to go!
It's so kind of Mogul Mail to stay on top of all this drama so Ludwig can worry about his own thing.
here before this blows up
agreed
this has blows ip
I LOVE MUSTY BALLS ❤❤❤❤
these comments are getting reallllly old ngl
I just don’t understand why when even Linus himself admits they don’t have enough time for videos, he himself couldn’t do anything about it until the situation blew up
Capitalist sigma grindset man. He has a commitment to all his fans to get videos out because all over the world people tun in and depend on him man. What are they gonna do if a video doesn't come out? Watch Big Bang Theory? Actually they could do that and it would be just as worthy of their time IMO
it is really just greedy mindset or rather as doclime said Capitalist mindset that most people have just produce produce produce money more more ore and quality goes out of windows
Thanks a lot for the overview of this drama. I follow both, and I saw a few videos regarding this, and I was so lost from where it began. Now everything makes sense.
Correction @ 9:13
It wasn't a response on floatplane, it was a response on the LTT forums. Sounds sorta insignificant because they are in control of both, but floatplane is paywalled, so it would look even worse if a response was paywalled
💀
Also ludwig forgot to mention that Linus/LTT told the company two times they were gonna give back the prototype, but they never did and auctioned insteed.
@@hos3886 it was monetized on release, they changed that pretty quickly tho.
@@hos3886it wasn't sponsored, but it was initially monetised with AdSense. They turned it off after feedback tho
@@hos3886no they joked about it being sponsored but it was initially monetized
Ludwig the kind of guy to make his company an employee owned co-op
I think that's the solution to the problem he raised that he "doesn't know the solution to yet". give offbrand to the employees. He said it himself, a normal company doesn't need a ceo.
@@pedrogarcia8706it’s not even that a company doesn’t need a ceo, but at the very least the ceo and other leaders should be chosen by the employees
@@Ry_TSG at the very least. But honestly it's not needed. The people who make the company run know how to run it.
@@pedrogarcia8706 I think you may guys may be mixing up owners and CEOs. An owner doesn't actually need to do anything, they can just sit back and get returns (although often they do get involved). A CEO is a paid employee that manages some aspect of the company. The employees can jointly own the company, but they don't have to run it like a democracy - in many cases it's still better to have an experienced CEO making big picture strategic decisions so that employees can focus on performing in their roles.
@@deantan7538 I don't think a company needs either.
As someone who's in the mouse enthusiast community, the guys that review mice are really clueless and it's annoying asf knowing smaller creators that are better get drowned out by dumbed down reviews for products that aren't made for the average consumer
Minor correction: Linus didn't initially respond with a "blog post on Floatplane". It was a forum post on their own forums, which are public, unlike Floatplane.
pretty much all linus has to do is to not speak his mind. Anytime LMG is criticized, Linus takes it personally for some reason.
I think it's cause to him, LMG is still him and he is LMG. Guy built his empire from the ground up and is hella invested in its success. Bad way to run a business but it happens
I mean tbh if I created something and someone was trashing in any way or negative reviewing it I would be pissed about and take it personal. I think most people might. Hell some people might just take this Comment personal.
Well its expected since he founded LMG, its akin to a parent being told that their child sucks with reasons why.
Some reason? Gosh. I hope we figure it out. I mean, it's not like the business he built from 0 has his name on it or anything.
Linus need to hear Luke more often. Sometimes Luke try to prevent Linus doing/saying something bad but Linus failed to noticed it
Theres one thing we should all take away from this video.
Never talk trash about Ludwigs streaming setup.
alienware prebuilt 💀
his partner in business literally co owns a pc building company 😂
The most dangerous word on UA-cam is 'review' because from what I see so many turn a 'review' into a neatly hidden very well paid sleight of hand Ad. Anyway this drama will only make LTT much bigger. Thats a no brainer if you understand how drama works related to social media.
You're so right! I'm a voice over actor, who wanted like many others to record from home because of the Covid. I quickly realised that I had a lot of things to learn, including the gears. And guess what? If you possess some analytics skills, you realize about all the idiocies that they all repeat because they all copy each others. I came to believe that their main source of income is to resale all the products they receive 🙄
@@LeSaff😂 voice over actor 😂
@@dirkdiggler9379 what is so funny? please share...
@@dirkdiggler9379 ewwww ur gross lmao
Reviews can act as ads but they rarely are intended to be. If you're looking for a new gpu, you watch reviews to make an informed decision.
If you're being influenced by a review to buy something you were never interested in buying... I think you're the idiot then
I honestly am very hopeful that you find that certain balance in power in a company and their employees, I feel like there is a way to operate in those conditions and it’s just a matter of finding it - and I feel like you and your team are a group of smart people that might get there
One addition regarding the Billet Labs thing: "just give us the money" may sound weird, but they posted their reasoning on the LTT reddit (I believe). It's a combination of:
- A new prototype is already in production
- It's uncertain how long it would take to receive it
- There is no guarantee that the prototype still works if it was in random people's hands
This could also be a huge problem if the block was auctioned to competitors... Quite messed up
Edit: There's comment stating that Billet Labs only wanted the prototype back after shit hit the fan. In LTT's first apology video, there is a screenshot of the email correspondence between the two parties, in which can be seen that Billet Labs originally allowed LMG to keep it, but then asked to get it back when Linus disliked the product. This seems to have happened before August 10th. Probably just fanboys in the comments...
True
Billet needs to bear their own share of responsibility for what happened. LMG screwed some things up, but Billet also didn't take care to communicate their expectations clearly or take measures to ensure their investment was protected if it was so important to them as they claim. For example, they told LMG at one point "you can try it on a 4090," which is what they did in the video, and then got upset that they tested it on a 4090 and the numbers didn't turn out great. Then when LMG tried to send it back to them they told them "you can keep it," and then seemingly changed their minds after LMG put it up for charity auction because LMG didn't have any use for it. The ideas that the company was stalled because they no longer had their prototype (which Billet claimed was the case), or that the block could end up in the hands of competitors which could somehow reveal some kind of trade secrets (which I believe was purely speculation on Gamers Nexus' part), don't seem to fit with their treatment of the transaction on the whole. The fact that they've been so happy to be the center of a pity party in the wake of people finding out about LMG's mishandlings and process errors while they themselves have been about as sloppy as LMG is pretty questionable. If they're going to take part in scrutinizing LMG so closely they ought to take a look at themselves and their own methodologies as well because they either screwed up with something important or they're not quite being honest.
@perfecthumaninterface I dunno man... sounds like a lot defending LTT. You come off as a butt hurt fanboy, but I could be wrong. I actually agree that Billet could have done better at communicating... but holy shit did Linus handle that entire situation wrong. I don't think GN came off as all high and mighty like you're portraying. I'm a bigger fan of LTT than I am of GN, but GN doesn't come across nearly as pompous as LTT.
I wonder if you even watched the full GN video because they didn't make it just to harp on mistakes that GN makes too. GN admits their own faults as well, the difference is in how they handle the mistake. LTT won't reshoot things, they'll leave a pinned (or even sometimes unpinned) comment to address a major issue in the video, or sometimes you might get "lucky" and get an annotation during the video. You can't be doing that kinda stuff when your brand is "we're better than the other guys because of how vigorously we test things." LTT already acted like that, but to say it out loud, essentially calling someone out by name in a video is insane.
The bottom line is that LTT has been getting worse and worse over the years with Linus being a massive reason why. I used to enjoy his channel a lot, but as he has grown in popularity he comes off more and more as a self righteous prick. Not to mention how rushed the videos feel these days as well. I'm amazed at how unprepared they are when doing some of these projects and then half assing to boot. I think it's taken a very obvious toll on everyone who works there.
@@mitakemiyao No shifting of blame required. LMG made all the mistakes that they did. Billet making their own mistakes has no bearing on that.
@@mitakemiyao I never argued what Billet said, so not sure why you're directing it at me? I'm not attacking Billet, it's just a fact of working in business where stuff easily gets miscommunicated/misunderstood. I'm not defending LTT for their actions... because regardless of there being some hiccups in communication, they still handled the entire situation poorly.

*Proceeds to absolutely cancel Ludwig and destroy his career*
LOL
@@Motowadcancel? How could he be cancelled for using an alienware
The trend of immediately commentating and reacting to a situation immediately after it starts trending is something I always hated in social media, and I'm glad you're trying to break that behavior. It makes you a much more level-headed and reliable source of information. I believe that stride for accuracy over content far far outweighs any loss in views you suffer, good on you Lud
Really what additional information was provided to you in this video that wasn't available 12 days ago when he made the original video except you know the self promotion at the end?
@@Hanclok he made it concise without us having to keep up with drama at all through Twitter and other sites, he also gave his two cents as an observer and if he were to make it as the drama just started, he will be inaccurate and come off as an ignorant individual. Having all the context of a situation is a must, it's part of the critical thinking.
It may have seemed that he only plugged his team, but at the start, he gave his two cents as a business owner on what Linus said about companies.
The sad thing is somebody need to report/publish this event. Imo the correct thing is just telling the "meat" and not adding any "spice" (read: comment) on top of it.
He literally used to do what you described, until a coulpe of months ago.
Am I the only one remembering how both him and Charlie jumped on the Mizkif's stuff last year?
@@42isTh3Answ3rI think he recognized that that’s why he’s uploading less here like he mentioned. To have more context before jumping on the issue.
One thing to mention, just a few months ago they hired a CEO who was actually given quite a bit of power. I highly suspect that he won’t be afraid to let heads roll once the results of the investigation come in.
Loved the discussion of how a company should operate, hope you continue on that path of empowering the workers more :)
I appreciate how much Ludwig cares to be responsible in what he says/puts out. It’s a welcome breath of fresh air seeing a content creator being so aware of the weight of their word as well as actively trying to take care of and better the livelihoods of those employed under him. All the best, Lud - keep doing you 👍
Isn't he the same person who said something along the lines of "I don't care if I promotes gambling or p*rn to kids as long as it makes me money"

I think that Offbrand paving a very visible path for employee ownership could be massive. Very excited to see what comes out of the brainstorming
agreed
That's what I was thinking too. It could really show that employee ownership not only works, but works better than the other alternatives. I could really see Offbrand be a progressive business of the future.
I lowkey would like to join as a gamedev for offbrand
i love that you put the number of takes it took you in the description it makes me less anxious about my own videos
Well done, great explanation of the situation
4:30 I actually looked at the bottom of my mouse and peeled off the protective film, that I completely didn't realize I had left on. Thanks Mogul Mail!
What are the odds that Ludwin shaves his head at the exact same time as Ludwig? Life is crazy
I thought this was Mogul Mail, not Ludwin
@@WanderTheNomadcrossover
i remember watching the original billet labs video and being like "... wait they're just gonna put it on the wrong card?" and then after he said the product was bad i was f****n shocked. like dude linus you CANT do that. that could end a small company....
I was so lost about the whole situation thanks for explaining 😭😭
This is why you dont bad mouth other folks unless you're prepared to face the consequences.
Exactly
Particularly in business. You can get away with a lot of shady shit, but as soon as you invoke the name of another it's open season on calling that shit out.
No wonder that guy who started this got fired.
@@AmauriEAlcantaradid he really get fired?
@@raynjpg can i see your feet
So to add context, the Gamers Nexus video didn't come out directly in response to the comments from the tour. It came out in response to Linus doubling down on the billet labs testing, his response to the tour comments feedback, and calling out Steve during a podcast.
LMG has done an incredible job shifting from a Linus focused model. It was something Linus started doing many years ago and was one of his smartest moves. I genuinely believe that Linus could leave and LMG would continue almost business as usual.
love it. met you one day at the climbing gym and had a fun time working on a dyno. was quite a while ago. my friend came up and asked, without my permission, if i could get a picture with you cause i was fanboying out so hard. you're a good person and have good intentions, and this just shows it!
Making a cooperative type business may be an answer? I wonder how it’d work in the creator space... Regardless I like the way Ludwig is thinking about workers. I wish more people would do the same.
Hasan, and several other content creators, already do it. There's no magic formula, give your cooperative effort a % split of revenue. Can haggle over the %s, but the foundation is well established.
@@JStack how does hasan do it? I thought he just has free lance employees
@@ayushdhar he pays them a significant cut, either allowing them to choose their own percentage (iirc he does this with merch?), take home all the profits (like his yt editors), or splitting equally (like the podcast)
@@ryanstardust_ that is not a co op. The whole point of a co op is that workers have a say in how the company as a whole is run. It's not just the percentage of revenue shared
To be fair though looking back at the original comment I didn't realize that op also doesn't get what a co op is 🤣
I heard about this drama at the beginning of this week and had to look up everything myself (traumatizing, lonely, scary😢). So glad to have my Mogul Mail cover the topic, everything is right with the world again
1:08 please note that the graph doesnt start at 0 in the y axis, so the change is less impressive than what it looks like
The most informative thing in this video is learning you can 2x speed with mouse thanks ludbin.
Legitimately. I never knew that. Granted, I don't watch UA-cam on my PC that much, but I do enough for that to be useful.
I have been sceptical of LTT's working conditions ever since he said on the podcast he is against his employees discussing pay. Big red flag.
He’s also against unions and his wife (49% owner) was head of HR until recently. His rationalization for being anti union is very strange and only accounts for his feelings instead of his employees well being. He has said he would take it as a personal failure if his employees unionized. One of those _“but we’re a family”_ types of bosses.
In their return video they show the statistics of worker turnover and just how much lower it is than both the national and industry average, if it was such a bad place to work people would leave.
Im not a fan of unions either, they start with good intentions then quickly grow corupt. But not allowing wirkers to discus their pay is scummy. Thats non of their hysiness what workers talk about, especialy off the clock.
@@draginator6turnover alone doesn't reflect the culture or working environment of the company especially if workers are very attached to their jobs and don't have a lot of alternatives in the industry. they work in a very niche industry.
the employees were clearly overworked and have said so multiple times. stop whiteknighting LMG they aren't going to notice you
@@lordfrz9339we do not need to know if you aren't a fan of unions
Correction @ 10:18
Madison’s twitter tread came our hours before the apology video was live. So before not during the time LMG took the break.
This was also a pain moment for the community as it felt like the apology was rushed out.
Yes was going to say, made the jokey tone much worse
didn't they also put a sponsor in the apology? it felt really insincere
no, but they were joking around saying that they could have had a sponsor@@naurrr
@@moush5042didn’t she work for like 2 years
@@moush5042 she's definitely been apart of ltt/lmg for a lot longer than a few months, but she quit like two years ago without exposing any details about why. it was only until recently that she explained everything.
Love having the Linus ad before this video starts...perfect!!!
Alright, IDK how much this matters to you, but it is refreshing to see someone embracing the insane pressure that comes with responsible leadership. It's not easy and I respect your efforts greatly despite not normally being one to watch your content
Man i'm gonna miss Mogul's Ventriloquism Skill at start of each video.....
6:06 Corrrection : There is literally ONLY one. This was their ONLY prototype, they needed it for development, and it cost thousands in production and opportunity cost.
LTT Definitely screwed up here, but if you only have one prototype you definitely shouldn't send it to someone else.
Hey great video and all that, but thanks for telling me about that hold left click-to-play at 2x speed feature. Much more handy for getting to live in streams, thanks Mogul Mail! That Ludwig guy still uses the settings button its unreal.
Therapist: Ludwig with a buzz cut cant hurt you he doesn't exist.
Ludwig with a buzz cut:
I love these Mogul Mails. The moment one of them is posted I instantly watch and on 10-20 minutes, I know pretty much everything everyone is talking about. Thanks Ludwig! And his viewers for keeping this channel alive!
I kinda like the audience not really taking side and put what they have on their mind instead just follow the most popular opinion
There are a ton of good takes if you want to learn more; in the review creator space there is the Hardware Unboxed podcast, the JayTwoCents RTFM podcast on the topic of LTT fanboys and some social implications of these review mistakes. There has been some good take rebuttals of the language that GN:Steve used that made subliminally more incendiary. Some of these issues seem have been known at some level for a while... hopefully LMG/LTT continues down the path of actually addressing them instead of pushing stuff aside in the rush to push content out.
Are you all paid commenters? The comments under this video sound like marketing spiel. Who types like this outside of work.
yo i saw you have the strokes on your recommended, fucking love them
Great coverage!
I watched this all unfold bit by bit from gamers Nexus first vid to linus responses. And boy was it a ride. I think everyone was taken by surprise at linus doubling down TWICE. It was so careless. He has all the right to take things personally but what failed him was his ego and anger. Thinking that just refuting the claims would make him and the company look better. He's not even the ceo anymore and said all this without cross checking with anyone. It was wild and deserved the loss of his fans and people like me who wanted trusted reviews. The final response feels hopeful though and I think they did a good job with the changes they're planning and basically telling Linus to calm tf down
Also for a reviewer to not even read the product manual to know how to use a product correctly is wild and telling. Then said no time for corrections or awareness that it's wrong to do. Just doubling down 😭.
Idk, I think it was completely undeserved and out of proportion. He LITERALLY has been talking about how they have these issues and are looking to fix them for months
@@FweshPwinceJiff if you need to read a manual to use a product its a bad product, i dont know anyone who will read manual to use a common item like a computer mouse or keyboard.
LTT is entertainment tech. If you watch LTT for reliable statistics, you're doing it wrong. Similarly, if you watch Gamer's Nexus expecting drama-free statistics reviews that aren't hinged on taking pot shots at other channels, you're still doing it wrong. Linus needs to slow down and Steve needs to grow up.
@@eechee2979Then LTT should put a disclaimer on their videos saying they’re just “entertainment tech” and no one should trust their statistics. Otherwise, you can’t fault people for believing a channel’s reviews when they market themselves as a trustworthy tech review channel.
Slow, physically and mentally but we love you anyway Lud.
I'm a luddite to this
We love Ludwin and Mogul Mail. Don't waste your time at someone who said he's not our friend ;)
Who’s Lud? I only know Mogul Mail
When I first heard about controversy, I thought it would came out that they are bad people that don’t deserve a platform. And then the more I heard about it just sounded like a heavily rushed company that made mistakes and should have corrected them. It definitely seem blown way out of proportion
the dishonesty of saying it would be too much money and time to re-test the cooler, when they probably just can't because the company that gave them the equipment has lost all faith in them and wont deal with them.
This is kind of a crazy crossover. Ive been watching GN and LTT for years, so to hear Ludwig talking about this stuff (and of course the Madison drama, which was crazy to say the least) was not what i expected in the least haha. Cool to know that Lud also knows a bit about GPUs and CPUs as well and tech UA-camrs.
Ludwig’s setup was reviewed in a recent LTT video, and Ludwig reviewed that video.
Gamer Nexus is a weirdo. I dont rate that guy at all.
@@WJeezushow is he a weirdo?
@@FardeenRiyadh16 bro made the entire video because he got butt hurt. It wasn't done because LTT are bad, but rather cherry pick fumbles theu had, and expose it as revenge.

-Lud 2023
Should've had correspondent Slime to give the on the scene take
i would love it if for an april fools upload you got aiden to do a mogul mail or sth that'd be awesome 😂
The problem too with LTT is they brag about their “testing” facilities and how much the equipment costs so their reviews have to be very accurate or else it can have major effects on other companies with crap reviews from a “trusted” source
I found it weird about when he was like "i dont think i can say sorry for not wanting to pay people to do hundreds of work for retesting". What a weird thing to focus on when concerned with your accuracy.
@@Tsukiru Because performance wasn't important to a conclusion "this cooler for last gen card is priced like an upgrade to a next gen card and could never live up to that jump of performance"
@@roumaaan he made the problem. He blows smoke up his own ass about how accurate their testing is and Labs dedication to accurate info, then doesn't want to correct results after stupidly using it improperly.
@@roumaaan That's not the point though. If I wanted a guesstimate any review on google would do. LTT is supposed to be accurate and thorough, which is why it's weird that they refused to retest it after finding out they did it wrong.
Yeah, this is important. And Linus' response was basically "we are making progress improving the processes," which is fair enough, but they've been sloppy for so long that it became clear that a shift of focus would be needed if they were going to deliver on their promises of Labs becoming a truly dependable source for product testing. That concept behind the Labs was really appealing to me and to a lot of people so I'm glad they got a bit of a wake up call to course correct so that hopefully they can ultimately and truly deliver on what they started.
I really enjoyed hearing you describe how you've thought thru problems and are still working on things. Especially when it seems like you're trying to make life better in ways that you can do for more than just yourself.

Brain rot is a big problem I hope you recover Mr Mogul mail man
damn
To be clear: There was absolutely no miscommunication regarding returning the copper cooler. There are screenshots of a super clear-cut conversation of Billet Labs saying "yes, we want it back" and LTT saying "okay, we will send it back in a couple days." Straight up.
Couple weeks later LTT: "hey sorry it's late but we have it ready to go, it will be shipped early next week"
*Repeat that for a couple more weeks*
*0 messages from Billet since they said they want it back*
Out of the blue LTT somehow crafts miscommunication and sells/auctions it.
They said that email didn't get sent to billet and the cooler got thrown in the wrong area. It's still pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as purposefully stealing it.
Hate how he danced around technicalities with we didn’t sell it. It was auctioned
@@Hideyoshi1991 seems like the type of mistake that could easily happen.
@@mildlydazed9608auctioned for charity not profit, big difference. GN made it sound like they were trying to make a quick buck

Great video Ludwig ❤ always love to see a mogul Mail video! Keep it up ❤❤❤
who's ludwig
Honestly I doubted and thought that Ludwig wouldn't make a Mogul Mail with a youtuber he's collabed with before... RESPECT. The journalism degree coming in handy!
You must be new. Mizkif, Atrioc..
Wdym bro he's literally done it for so many people he has collabed with...
Love ya Lud great vid!
lud vids are perfekt when procrastinating something
I hope LMG and its employees find a pace where they are comfortable with the quality produced while also maintaining business operations. It is a delicate balance, but made worse by the volatility of online advertising. Tech viewers are a lucrative group to advertise to, but at the same time very hard to advertise to. And the floatplane subscribers mostly don't do it for the extra value the service offers, but to support them and be part of the community. That is why the numbers dropped so rapidly.
Everyone and their dog had something to say about it, so it's good to see that some people waited instead of jumping on the bandwagon. Other than that I think the video by TechTechPotato about this whole situation is a good one
and more $$ if you wait
Ludwig is better than local news.
I cant wait for Ludwig to react to this on stream!
If you really want to give people more say. Make them shareholders, make it a co-operative. They then get a share of the profits and have a vested interest that the company succeeds other than a basic salary.
Would be based, if Ludwig actually made Offbrand a worker coop.
Another great video, and Im happy to see you are a fan of The Strokes :)
What a great video, worth sticking through to the end
Worker co-op would be the most based thing I could imagine
Hey Ludwig,
from 7:20ish you've made a large mistake.
They asked for it back BEFORE the charity event, they agreed to send it back several times.
The charity event rolled around and they auctioned it off by mistake.
LTT Was seemingly asked about it and seemingly shrugged it off for some time.
Nexus broke the news about this and the community was outraged, it was only then that LTT offered to pay for it but made the claim that they had offered prior. GN has followed up with Billet regarding the timeframe and the offer definitely came in hours after GN released their video.
This may seem like a trivial misrepresentation of the sequence of events, but shows certain levels of intent, or lack there of, as well as integrity regarding these issues and resolving them. Until the very end LTT refused (and still does) to accept that his representation of this product was unfair in any way despite it being significantly mischaracterizing of the product. Further showing the lack of integrity and respect for small businesses in this space.
Lmao what? They’re right to do so
@@thesnowman2509 Who's right to do what?
can’t wait for the employees of mogul moves to seize the means of production
Pretty stoked for this event
The problem with not being thorough with Tech reviews from large companies as large LMG is that they can tank a new business for just being lazy. I've been following this since the news broke from GNs first video.
I love when linus techs his tips
13:17 thanks for this tip, i needed a shortcut for 2x speed lol
thanks for your efforts
NASA isn’t using their stats. It ain’t that deep
Madison is a amazing funny person I’m so sad with her treatment
Nice to see the comment section actually talk about the topic and not only just meme on the intro.
Its cool seeing new budding companies be so transparent, the social media age has given companies the ability to have a public forum and discourse regarding their businesses directly with the public. And when you’re in direct communication with your audience I think ethical decision making becomes intrinsic to your companies success. While “cancel culture” was used to take down people of high status, it’s new influence may actually help generate better and more ethical work places moving forward.
gotta say i respect that Lud waited a bit to upload a video on this until more facts were known
yeah its crazy that he did that and still got a bunch of stuff wrong
@@moustashguy5315 elaborate
Crying at Linus talking about how they never have time for retrospection at 8:34 ....and whose fault is that, Linus? lmao
good vid, but that left click for 2x speed part went crazy
thet floatplane dip is also runoff from the LTX subs for the ltx BTS
I recommend checking these sources (e.g. Gamer Nexus's video and Madison Tweets) because there's a loooot of important details that are lost in translation (of course Lud couldn't cover em all in a single short overview video). Especially the scale of LTT's mistakes, the level of out of touch from Linus, and the severity of Madison's experiences (alleged). It's shocking.
We really shouldn't speculate on the madison allegations. There's absolutely no need to stir the pot any more. Nothing of value will be brought forward without any official word from LMG.
Madison told white lies throughout her post. The time frame lines up with the woman who was falsely accusing Linus of wanting sexual favors in exchange for a Floatplane creator spot. I think her name was Naomi Wu. Linus talked to Madison about the situation because Madison ran the social media accounts. This was proved false a long time ago and Madison knew it.
If she omits facts about something so minor (impacting her personally), then what else is she omitting, twisting or lying about?
I'd take her allegations with a major grain of salt until the third party investigation is over.
I appreciate the fact you waited to gather all the information you could on this. For example i had no idea you could hold left click to speed up a YT video.
Good shit and great video 🤟
the left click didn't work for me :[
@@younlok1081 Nor for me....
I just usually wait until you upload when something happens- love your stuff.
Great vid. My favourite part was the 2x speed click tip
Ludwig is so tight he saves the plug for the end
