Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it

The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn’t. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.

3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.

the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did,

But he didn’t. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That’s why Steve called him out.

  Man, this is exhausting. Thanks for trying to carry as far as you did. Some folks just really need LTT to be a bunch of villains, and will move the goal posts to get there.
  
  Part of why I still have LTT shit a listen was because of how I’ve seen him conduct his company’s focus, and course corrections, and how they HAVEN’T sued people trying to attack them.

    Sounds correct, he only acknowledged it in private by responding to the email.
