Like, at every point possible, youre deflecting all tangible blame. Instead of adddressing a controversy properly, you'd rather it just go away
eceleb drama
That 5090 "review" was weird and feels like the whole company is compromised.
GN seems to have a personal beef with LTT at this point
Ahh geeze all this drama and Kyle lost his home
'Oh no! More and more people rightfully call me out! They even deny me right to always be a victim! How unfair!' -most likely linus in his head.
I watch Rossman and GN. I stopped watching LTT. My good, Linus is seriously deluded….
This isn’t politics, but like polarizing political issues I think it’s possible to still have a balanced take on the situation without taking one side or the other.
I think Louis’s point is that Linus, yes, would have gotten thrown over the fire for a “stop using honey” video, but it’s the right thing to do. Message it as well as you want, but a video akin to “Creators need to stop using Honey now” will still rub any % of people the wrong way. People can find a way to be bothered about anything, even common sense. Again, looking at both sides, I can see where an audience could think Linus is against them if he makes that video, similar to his takes on why you shouldn’t have ad-block on for YouTube & it’s a form of piracy. People HATE that take, but it’s the truth. “You do you, but own up to it” is a valid stance by him. The honey situation is also different though, because everyone who has clicked and purchased something thru an affiliate link believed a part of their hard earned money was given to a creator rather than a multi-billion dollar parasite of a company, PayPal. They would at least be informed enough to make the conscious decision to keep the Honey extension enabled if they chose. Ad-block on the other hand is a conscious decision. I don’t think LTT’s discovery got enough channel coverage to offer people that choice. And you know what, if Linus owns up to that I’d accept his apology and those in Steve’s community should find it in them do accept it too.
With that said, where there are inaccuracies in Steve’s accounts of Linus/LTT, there need to be proper retractions. Linus/LTT has make mistakes, which have been accounted for, remedied, and processes were improved. My unprofessional assessment from the outside is that they generally take outside criticism well. It’s difficult for anyone to not get defensive though when someone lobbies false accusations or unnecessary jabs at them—it clouds the valid criticism and the person could end up putting up a defense more than they should.
Linus, the only person/entity you have control over is yourself and how you guide your company. You have already shown thru action you would like to move on and be the bigger person. In that spirit, I ask you for one more thing: please own up to the fact that the honey video should have been made despite expected future backlash. It’s unfair for you to have to own up to everything when the other side will own up to nothing (from what I’ve seen, please reply and I will admit I am wrong), but it’s the right thing to do.
Memories of cherry haha
How does Linus still not understand that to promote a product that is bad to his audience but NOT to tell them once he discovered that (just stops promoting it) was a bad thing. It is not complicated. When you take money for something that you promote you become complicit.
Linus is horrible at handling these other content creators. Dave portnoy did an interview and said he is fuled on hate and has been very good at pushing back on false accusations. Linus delcaring war on GN putting him in his place (pat him on the belly like the dog he is) and moving on would be much faster and more effective.
All the freaks tuning in to WAN and constantly whinging at Linus lol, a bunch of drama queens, do something else with your time if he's not your cuppa tea, ain't enough hours in the day for that nonsense.
Linus, we had a major hardware release this week, yet you didn't have a meaningful presence in the 5090 video – rather hear you talk about that then Steve
For the bike painting project, have you seen @dipyourcar ?
I must say as a viewer I just love tech and new stuff. I could care less what other creators like or respect about eachother. I do think Linus response was 100%. LTT for win. But I just want more gpu vids 😊
Its just a fking witch hunt now for views sick fed up of it…..knew GN was turning into the BDSM of whipping company's and others for their mistakes. It seems to be the new popular content to make as shitting on or giving vomiting takes on games or whatever and reacting to is just desperate garbage.
I hope this ends soon, can only imagine this is playing into Linus’ worst fears of how this will play out. Louis was weird for chiming in as if he’s a true injured party for honey, feels very opportunistic. Like he tells us to watch the original comment about honey but it’s pushing it right to the middle of the conversation where it just damned Linus rather than the full context. He does have some valid points but that could be all chalked up to miscommunication and not a malicious intent. Hope it works out that we can all get back to seeing Tech YouTubers as not being destructive to each other.
I'm sure you would like it to just all go away and not have to deal with people being upset with your actions. Apologies for stuff that nobody is asking for and dodging everything. Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
My spider sense is finely tuned to corruption, shilling and bull shit. That said, I'm siding with ltt on this. Right of reply is critical when trying to seek the truth. Plus I don't think they did anything wrong with honey.
u r awful!!!!!
Linus' Bubbly battle is hilarious
My personal take: Everyone made mistakes and nobody is willing to admit theirs.
Linus victim tips.
I've always blamed higher ups wanting to release the game as fast as possible, and just releasing the minimum quality possible and publishers forcing deadlines, instead of spending the time and resources to polish the games, but I'd never blame it on new hardware being better, nor on the individual developers.
Maybe Steve and Louis reached out to you prior but they “accidentally” texted your old number ???
Steve and Rossman are clearly seeking more viewers – they have instead lost one (me). I find that I would rather just hear about tech and not petty little people who can't string a word together.
At the least in the end we know that Linus and LMG hear criticism and reviews, use introspection and self reflection. The same can't be said for other wannabe journalists…
Great, the drama has now spilled over into my YouTube after I thought I left it all behind on Twitter. Good gravy, y'all just make up and be done with the damn thing already!
Not paying 70$ for games so if it goes to 100$ I go back to piracy.
I used to like Louis Rossman, but him getting involved in this for views just smells so bad. Probably will unsub from him.
Rossman is 100% correct though. He says what everyone thinks but is too afraid to say to your face Linus because let’s be real, you are incapable of taking and responding to criticism.

Most don't use packaging, the biggest margin who actually buys packaged goods are shops, not consumers, shops just hope to resell it, and often at a discount, while the packaged game creators already got their full price for it. And the game companies most were making more profit over time, the less they started to use packaging. But yeah we have digital good discounts as well.
So basically the game creators are complaining that people buy games digitally and at a discount, and that they can't sell so many packaged goods at a cheap price to shops for "full" price, it didn't matter to them if games were being bought by consumers as long as they got their money.
Omg LTT just take the L and move on. You guys are in the wrong and when I was watching the WAN show live everyone’s comments pointing this out were being deleted. Stop being so insecure about it and move on.
Love you Linus, but you should have rung the bell on honey when you figured it out, may have helped a lot of starting channels out there get up and running. What PayPal did was extremely scummy and I'm just having a hard time understanding why you stayed silent. Been subbed since the firetruck days (lol) and it just seemed out of character for you.
I love both LTT and GN and it pains me to watch all of this @Linus Tech Tips
The fact he refers you to his lawyer says it all…
Linus very conviently hasn't watched Louis's video with all the statements and facts (including actual proof compared to LTT).
Makes you think about what has been said and it sort of confirms it, atleast regarding Linus.
Very dissapointed.
Hypocrisy from a leftist. Color me surprised.
The cost if living between Canada and Australia seem similar with house pricing so ridiculously high, but Australia seems to have better local purchasing power seeing as we aren't trading in USD as much.
Linus YET AGAIN, shows he doesn't understand right to reply… The right to reply, is about the VENUE of reply… NOT TIMING. There is NOTHING in the ethical guidelines for journalists about giving a right to reply before publication. It's completely focused on the venue… And Steve has published Linus reply. That's all that the ethical guidelines require… That is all that is held as anything even remotely close to essential.
For all of GNs talk of CA, they never broke the story of Honey, it was MegaLag and I feel they namedropped Linus to get more views. Steve did exactly the same thing.
Other affiliates dropped Honey, but with fewer subscribers it made no sense to call them out because the only way GN and Megalag get eyeballs is by standing on the shoulders of bigger people.
Linus is good scammer! One of the best of our time.
2:25 So then sue the bastard and let that news go viral, then even Steve's supporters will hear the truth (whatever that happens to be).
I dont enjoy this drama.
I love and support both sides heavily and id like to seem them together or at least not at each others throat.
It does seem like Steve is beating the heck out of Linus and im still not sure why. I wish Steve would just stop and move on. In sure he has his reasons but i dont understand.
Linus is being the bigger man here.
Lets just say were all sorry and move on….mainly talking about Steve at this point.
A lot of people in the comments have a parasocial problem and need to take a break from the internet
They obviously can't handle it
