There's no way Steve knew or intended this would blow up the way it did. After Steve's original 45 min video, the situation was still "recoverable" at LMG.

Then Linus dug in not once, but twice, and then the Madison post.

Has Steve said anything else recently? Hopefully he kinda backs off, honestly. It's gone way beyond the original scope of his video.

He said on his news recap video that they're not going to address the lmg issue after seeing Linus's forum response. So I think he's gonna leave it at that.

Can I get a tldr? I’m really out of the loop on this.

I read Madison’s post, but I’m not sure what’s going on with Linus other than that.

They have reviewed a GPU cooler from a company incorrectly, said it was trash and don’t buy it, refused to do the review correctly and then sold the prototype cooler at auction when they agreed to return it.

GN called them out on that and their massive QC problems, crunch and ethics.

I too like this explained to me.

He might back off if they adressed his arguments, but they didn't (yet, hopefully).

He said in his follow-up video that there would be no more follow-ups. So we'll see.

I wasn't expecting an analysis of the situation on a memes sub...

it's when I thought of it, and decided to just type it out!
