For those who don't follow Dianna (ThePhysicsGirl), she has been suffering with "Long COVID" and has been bed-bound for the last few years.

This is fucking incredible to see. I'm so thrilled her and her family.

Literally all of this spawned because of Honey, ALL OF IT, yet they aren't the ones the tech community is going after.

No, in fact, we all collectively decided to go to the people who promoted Honey and were part of the people who ware scammed by Honey, not Honey itself.

This is a situation that's been blown ridiculously out of proportion. All of this energy targeting hate at each other could have been used to make sure PayPal never attempts to do what they did with Honey again.

I'm quite frankly tired of all of this. Linus, GN, Louis are all people I enjoy watching and this """drama""" has gotten incredibly tiring.

I encourage all of you to drop it, if people wanna continue it so be it but as a community we need to stop.

I will be posting this exact same thing in the GN subreddit.

EDIT: You can also technically say that it all started when LTT started building labs and the whole Billet Labs situation, however I am strictly referring to Honey.

I’m actually surprised how in depth he went. Also never expected him of all people to defend Linus.

Let's pause for a moment and say everything Steve and Louis has said was fully accurate. (I don't believe that...but let's just suspend our disbelief for a moment)

For the most part it's just a whole lot of nothing. "Oh, Linus is full of himself"...."oh, Linus doesn't care about the little guy"..."working for LTT is awful"...

Does it make Linus seem like a great guy? No. I wouldn't want to work with someone like that, and I wouldn't want to be friends like with someone like that.

But for the most part it wouldnt effect my opinions of his content. The guy knows tech, and more importantly he's got a whole company of people who's job is to make these videos great. It's educational, entertaining, and I don't particularly care much beyond that.

We're not Linus's friends. Linus is a successful business owner who has a massive staff count, of course he cares about money, it would be irresponsible of him not to. If his brand gets smeared, that can effect all of his employees.

I can name dozens of famous people that I care very little about. As long as they aren't criminals and aren't stepping on other people, all I care about is the quality of their work.

I just don't understand the point of all this. It's grandstanding to the extreme. The dude is just a guy, he always has been, and he's pretty good at what he does. For the most part, the rest is parasocial fluff.

With all the controversy lately, this one is a fun sideshow:

Apparently when Linus doesn't call out scams loudly enough, he's the bad guy, and when he does, he's REALLY the bad guy.

Because magical necklaces apparently really do work!

I mean, this sub jumps at every opportunity to call Linus out. Every time there he made any genuine mistake, this sub wasted no time to turn against him. Like the warranty drama even the GN video from 2023 where they made several valid points that needed addressing and many others.

This is not a group of fanboys that will defend Linus against all criticism, quite the opposite, this is a bloodthirsty fanbase that takes every opportunity to bully him (and I mean this in an endearing way).

So the fact that in this situation most people here stand behind Linus in this case is a real testament to how Steve and others just try to force drama and any cost and how pathetic their points are.

If there were any valid points, this sub would definitely be one of the loudest places to critisise Linus, as it often is.

Not a big component directly involving anyone but I just don't want it to be ignored that Louis's and honestly probably Steve's too at this point, viewers were constantly spamming "W ROSSMAN L LINUS" and stuff like "Linus never takes accountability what a fraud"

I haven't seen GN or Rossman make a single statement not to harass LMG or their fans. Keep that in mind.

I'm just a casual viewer so I'm out of the loop quite often. I skimmed through some posts/comments because I'm not watching a 1 hour video that could have been a tweet.

I cannot for the life in me understand why these big "creators" have nothing better to do than to make hit pieces on their peers like Linus/LTT. I said this in a comment, but, if you're creating negative videos on your "peers", then you're only doing that for yourself. I do not buy anyone saying that they're "exposing Linus to help the community". It's horse shit. It's the exact same thing as the "drama channels", they're building themselves up by putting others down. If they truly were being altruistic, the ad revenue would go to charity and not in their pocket.

Linus has and is currently showing an extreme level of patience and for that he must be commended. His ability to not slap them back (metaphorically) is impressive. I truly think the best thing would be to ignore them however if they continues, "lawyering up" may be the only way.

In the end, it's just sad. Grown ass adults behaving like a high school clique. Grow the F up, don't like what Linus is doing? Do your own thing.

I realise that I'm a nobody and this is just my opinions, but I thought it'd be nice to show my support. I've watched many thousands of hours of LTT and enjoyed many hundreds of hours ;)

(sorry, long rant)

It's honestly impossible to list them all, what I'm going to cover is basically less than 3 minutes of an hour long video:

In the early part of his video Louis makes the case that Linus should have made a video IMMEDIATELY when he learned that there was something somewhat fishy with Honey, how everything would have definitely turned different had he did, that it was his sole responsibility as an "influencer"

But that's not the part I want to talk about. The part I want to talk about is about how after making a few collabs with Linus he then had a few mildly confrontational email exchange regarding a potential LTX appearance. The way he brings it up "ah I really wanted to go public about this 5 years ago, I regret not doing so because who knows how many people he tried to manipulate. Anyway..." Before going into his rant.

Hmm. What is that Louis? A business partner turned out to be not what you expected? Manipulative? Deceptive maybe? Someone you openly considers the biggest influence on the industry? And you.... Didn't... Make a video? Oof. Seems like you didn't have your audience's best interest at heart there Louis.

He then goes onto his rant, shows very quickly screenshots of emails but only reads out loud the part that upsets him. According to him the emails were very unprofessional. Later he shows more screenshots about the email that he himself sent. Only for a fraction of a second though. He does not at any point explains the actual context of the altercation. Because to get it you'd have to pause on the right 0.5 second. Turns out... Oh shit, Linus was right to be upset! Louis made false statements, when those statements were disproven by emails dated multiple days prior. And then refused to make a retraction! (Sounds familiar?)

He then goes on about how unfair it is for Linust to complain about a broken motherborard considering how much LTT is making. Unfortunately for him the same emails he flashed on screen... Literally shows Linus addressing this argument, and goes into details about how back when this incident happened LMG was, in fact, not making a profit. He literally tells you one thing, after flashing evidence disproving it entirely. And base his argument by showing how much sponsors pays for videos, even have official documents.... That shows LTT as a channel with 13+ million subscribers. Placing those documents years after the motherboard was broken.

So.... Yeah. I now get why he and Steven get along so well, and it makes me reconsider everything Louis has done up to this point if that's the kind of "quality evidence" he brings to the table in his takedown video while trying to defend another industry liar....

And again that is 3 minutes of his 1h video.

Edit: this is referring to steve’s now deleted comment under rossman’s video saying he had already seen the video. (This is 5-10 mins after the hour long video was posted, so safe to assume Steve saw it before it was posted)

I don't care about the Gamers Nexus/Rossman controversy. I don't like it but I also don't really care. Looks to me like the little guy swinging at the big guy. I watch GN and LTT for very different reasons but I enjoy them both. I don't watch Rossman though.. Not because I don't like him, Ive just never watched his content. I feel like I need to become embroiled in all this bullshit to defend my beloved Linus cuz I'm an og LTT enjoyer. From the very early days but ignorance is bliss... I'm just gonna keep enjoying LMG content, GN content whatever without worrying about the business or personal lives and choices of the creators.
