Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership
fatalicus@lemmy.world 3 days agoAbout the Billet Labs thing, they have shown, and Billet Labs verified it, that the original agreement was that LTT would keep the cooler.
It was only after the bad review they asked for it back, and at that point there was miss communication between the person Billet Labs talked to and the logistics department at LTT, so the cooler wasn’t set aside as it should.

Shown where? I’ve seen no evidence of that anywhere, and I was following that controversy when it happened.

Here is the post from Billet Labs themselves where they verify that they only asked for the cooler back after the video had been released: www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/…/kcfmcnz/
Now, i’m not saying that LTT didn’t do Billet Lbs dirty in regards to this whole situation.
They did not test the cooler correctly, and Linus was less than resonable in regards to retesting and such (something he has adressed himself here: linustechtips.com/topic/…/16/#comment-16078641 ).
But people keep hanging up that they sold when they were supposed to send it back, when there was no such agreement beforehand.

Thanks for that. Not entirely as bad as originally indicated, but still pretty shady on LTT’s part
With everything I know of it, Linus was just rug-sweeping it before the exposé. Feels like Billet Labs got screwed but took the high road to prevent drama because LTT has a big community.
