According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.

So incredibly disappointing, I thought Linus was smart, but instead of just owning up to his mistakes and making a proper apology, he just doubled down and dug his own grave even further. If he had just apologized and explained how he would do better and make things right, and how he would prevent these mistakes from happening again, I'm sure a lot of people would've gave him another chance, but he really showed him and his company's true colors.

This is very sad to see, I was definitely a fan of LTT and enjoyed their videos, I watched and supported them for years, but now I'll no longer be watching or trusting them after this. Its heartbreaking.

Have you ever watched the WAN show? He almost always refuses to admit he's wrong. He's a douchebag.

Even poor Luke is sometimes flabbergasted. You can see him trying to tiptoe around Linus' hot takes.
