My personal thoughts

At first it came off a bit whiney, but I watched the entire thing and I’m glad I did. It shows a pattern of carelessness and in some cases complete douchebaggery of LMG.

What they did to Billet Labs is absolutely un-fucking excusable. LMG and Linus, in particular, needs to be mercilessly shamed for that until Billet Labs gets a clear and unequivocal apology and paid restitution for damages. Fucking shameful. What a bunch of pricks.

Video Description

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor – by staff’s own admission – quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as ‘only’ entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

    Again if you are charging 800+ dollars and again to Linus’ point of view he wasn’t aware of the 4090 FE edition of this cooler, doesn’t make sense for buyers. Most of the video they are complimenting the machining of the piece.

    The best case scenario for this thing is the temps are slightly better but the experience of building with it is a
    nightmare and the advantages over literally any other solution are negligible it’s a cool concept but unfortunately I think that there are very few buyers for it with that said you know if it tickles your fancy but you’re thinking yeah cool idea but maybe if it was a little more like this I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys could basically make just about anything for you they’ve definitely got the manufacturing chops

    I don’t think they ever say useless in the original video. Could you provide me a link of them doing so but gave it a quick scan via transcript and not seeing it. To me they just say its a bad product (with Linus’ limited knowledge of said product).

      Yes he was, he commented on it in the original video, which the GN video included.

      I don’t think they ever say useless in the original video.

      My bad, I should not have quoted a word that they didn’t use directly. But still, his final conclusion, as included in the GN video, is that nobody should buy it, and not just because of cost.
