Ironically enough, this whole debacle with Billet Labs probably is better advertising than a proper review ever would have been. (sh.itjust.works)

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

I still wish we would have gotten a proper benchmark of their prototype :-/

If it actually works well they could always release a cheaper mass produced version down the line.

It has already been confirmed by Billet that they are working on a new one, and is highly implied that it will go to other youtubers to do a proper review. I expect Steve and Jay, at the very least, will end up getting their hands on it.
