You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro… Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven’t watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

    Maybe I came to the channel late, after it’s prime, but I have never seen the value of LTT & affiliates.

    The review videos have seemed sub par when cross checking against multiple reviewers.

    The entertainment videos felt cringey even when they covered a subject I was interested in (PlayStation dev kits, other obscure tech)

    It was a quick unsubscribe when I felt my time was getting wasted.

      I’m with you here. That channel and Linus have always just seemed like clickbait clowns to me, felt scummy

      Outside of blatant click bait my issue with the channels is once it starts getting interesting, the video is over. Ever played RAGE1? Like that ending. (Credits roll when you think act 3 is about to start)

      I’d feel their videos would be better with 10 more minutes of content and slow the fuck down on making so many videos. Why the fuck they have 7 channels?
