- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 6 days ago:
Some people might care about supporting the creators they enjoy by having their view count. If it looks like nobody is watching, then that doesn’t fare well for the creator, even if in reality they have a viewership that’s invisible.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Sounds correct, he only acknowledged it in private by responding to the email.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
3 years later
The WAN ship with the plagiarized segment aired on September 16, 2022 GN wrote to LTT about the plagiarism on September 21, 2022 The pinned comment was published on September 21, 2022, less than an hour later
Please give me some dates because I really can’t see where the 3 years are coming from.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
That’s fair, but you also have to consider Louis is a friend of Gamer’s Nexus who had a lot of conflict with LTT, and so isn’t an objective party. I would much rather listen to the opinion of a third party.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that’s not proof?
Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn’t do enough about it, but that was never in question.
Linus said he’d fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn’t done anything.
All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don’t see GN requesting any other action in the email. That’s definitely not “hadn’t done anything”. It’s not enough, but again that was never in question.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
You: Quote Me: The quote is not backed by any proof You: The quote is from the article
Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Well, if that happened, no such emails are in the GN response.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
The email says they could keep it for further testing, not sell it.
No, the email says they said they could keep it, with no qualifiers, because they thought it would be for further testing, but didn’t tell anyone that’s their expectation.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
According to your source they replied and acknowledged the plagiarism 34 minutes after being notified by GN. I have no clue where you are getting 3 years.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
whatever rationalization for sexual harassment you’ve prepared
Wow, well now I know for sure you are not arguing on good faith. Have a nice day.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
All correct, and not conflicting with what I said. For the avoidance of doubt here is the email where Billet Labs confirmed they told then they could keep it: imgur.com/a/mF2tz4J
Then they changed their mind, and your timeline follows.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
I’m literally quoting GN, who said “quick action”, what can I tell you. You can disagree that it was quick action, but you are not disagreeing with me, you are disagreeing with GN.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Billet Labs explicitly said in the email that “you could keep it”. They changed their mind later, after it was sold already.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s what I’m basing what I said on. You can see GN thanking Linus for quick action, and being understanding that an inexperienced writer could make such a mistake.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
The one Billet Labs confirmed they were never supposed to return and the whole thing was a misunderstanding (again, according to Billet Labs), that one?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Not going to take a side here, but the fact you said “you were OK with the sexual harassment”, when the other commenter said nothing as such, does not show that you are arguing in good faith.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
I did too, until many of the accusations, like the Billet Labs thing, turned out to be false later.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Never acknowledged it? He immediately put a pinned comment attributing Gamers Nexus when notified of it, and GN thanked him for it, which any reasonable person would take as him being happy with the resolution.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Which turned out to be false, and Billet Labs confirmed it was always the agreement that they were not supposed to return it.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the videos are entertainment. When looking for actual technical information, they release it in text form: www.lttlabs.com
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
So did I, until it turned out the Gamers Nexus video was an unsubstantiated hit piece. For example it came out that the Billet Lab GPU cooler that they supposedly stole instead of turning back, was never supposed to be returned and Billet Labs confirmed the agreement was that it would not be returned.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
Linus Tech Tips is not one of them though. They did receive an offer for $100 million, but refused it to keep their independence.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
And the Honey thing turned out to be a dud, the accusations false, and the lawsuit went nowhere. So good on them not to jump on the lawsuit train I guess.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
I mean, the problem is not lack of growth, the problem is losing the stable sustainable base.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 3 weeks ago:
That’s was months ago though, and the drop is recent. Why would people leave months after the controversies happened?
It’s also suddenly happening to most large YouTubers at the same time, so doesn’t seem related to any of them in particular.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
Of course it would be wrong. And not hypocritical.
But I guess a Trump voter like you would never understand the difference.
- Comment on Dune: Awakening gets a free weekend for September 11, a first ever discount and early DLC release 3 weeks ago:
“Couple of days”? It’s 21 days before you need to refuel a base. Which is fair to complain about, but a “couple” usually means 2-4.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
You are still missing the point, judging by the “to justify it”, since I never said anything is trying to justify anything. I just recognize the difference between “bad” and “hypocritical”. You can do a bad thing and not be a hypocrite, you can do a good thing and be a hypocrite.
If you use a car. You are okay using cars.
Correct. Which doesn’t conflict with my point at all. The person in that example is okay using cars. Where they are legal. And wants to make them legal in less places.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
I agree. And I think that not in all of such situations you would be misaligned with your values.
For example you may argue for making cars illegal, while you yourself own a car. You are not being a hypocrite, you are hoping that if cars were illegal, society would become more bike-friendly which is your ultimate goal, enabling you to stop needing a car.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 3 weeks ago:
What does that have to do with my comment? Again, the question is not whether it’s bad. It is, but it’s totally besides the point.
