Steve released a video pointing out a bunch of technical errors and ethical concerns about how LMG is run, Linus just straight up admitted that he thinks it's unreasonable to have his fancy new multi-million dollar lab spend even $100 on retesting even though he absolutely knew that his results were inaccurate, doubled down after people started calling him out on it, whined that he didn't "sell" the one of a kind prototype that he'd promised to give back to the manufacturer, he "auctioned" it for charity, even though that had been explicitly stated in Steve's video, and then completely separately a former employee said that she had been sexually harassed while working there.

Not really drama.

It is dramatic, but the fact that Linus has always pretended to be a tech media guy, it’s quite remarkable to see him as a tool who has no integrity, much less even an iota of concern for testing accuracy. The billet labs guys he trashed in his erroneous testing and review of their prototype, are a pair entrepreneurs just trying to serve a very niche market. Linus Media Group, a multi million dollar company stole these dudes property, shit on them with an egregiously erroneous review, and then when Linus is called out for this, he puts out a video saying he can’t be expected to waste $100-$500 for accurate tests! And “I didn’t sell the billet lab’s prototype!! I auctioned it!”

I’ve been seeing stuff go on in the form of memes but looks like a good summary and ofc I’m gonna read the original too
