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.

It makes sense if you hold them to high journalistic standards for the wish.com pc builds, fake knockoffs, and I bought 10 stupid things from Amazon and we’re gonna make fun of them videos as well. I watched the video yesterday to see what it was about and the tone is about the same, it was a foregone conclusion that the price was ridiculous and the item would never be worth your money and they were not really going to give it a real rigorous evaluation. I don’t care if you defend folks who spend $8 million on stupid shit because they have more money than sense. That’s not someone I care enough about to defend, but those are the only people that would even think about buying this thing. I’m not a LTT fanboy. The GN video was really good and I hope LTT improves significantly in many ways. Selling the prototype was extremely shitty. But to say this isn’t about whether the product is worth it is a stupid take in and of itself. The value proposition of the product isn’t changed by the way LTT did them dirty. And that was the point I was making originally. I am definitely not contesting that LTT did them dirty, and then lied about it several times, nor am I stating that LTT is the paragon of hardware reviews. I simply stated that with regard to all that, I agree with Linus’s conclusion completely.

Like I said, I’m not invested enough in rich people who buy dumb shit to defend them online. I just don’t care, and I don’t care if all content online doesn’t cater to them, as you seem to suggest. You seem to suggest some kind of violence even, in not catering to idiots with too much money and time. Sorry man, but no, that’s no the “hot take” you think it is. LTT and Billet labs can be dumb simultaneously.
wtf does this even mean. this sounds like the kinda shit someone who buys a gold plated ratchet would say
