it calls into question LMG’s ethics and business practices. what they did to the waterblock company of two people is obscene. they reviewed the only viable prototype the company had on incompatible hardware, trashed the product in the review, then sold the product act auction to a potential competitor. they effectively destroyed the company and in the WAN show said that they couldn’t retest the product properly because it would have cost $500 - not of Linus’s time, but of his employees. it’s such a callous way to behave that I literally cannot fathom it.
the sheer scope of the data errors from rushed video production are the icing on the cake.
also anyone else remember the company paying out settlements to former female employees for what was suspected to be sexual harassment, forcing them to sign NDAs?
capitalist enshittification continues on and on.

it’s something I remember from a few years ago - I don’t even remember the names of the people involved anymore. just remember it because I made a mental asterisk for when I’m watching the channel’s content.
