    After that video goes live, LTT reaches out to the company and offers to reimburse

    But crucially, Linus’ response today suggested that reimbursement was already done and dusted, which was ostensibly not the case. As such I think a lot of people have lost trust in Linus specifically.

      What’s nuts is that he recently stepped down as CEO to focus on the video content. This would’ve been a great opportunity to stfu and let the new CEO handle communication. Instead his statement yesterday he acted like he was the victim

      What’s also crazy is that he turned down a large acquisition offer. If he took it and the same events happened, people would be at least blaming the acquiring company a bit and now it’s all on Linus and Linus alone

        Yeah, I thought about this today. I expect that the new CEO is not happy about Linus making a public response to the GN video.
