One additional point I think some others left out, in a recent LTT lab tour video, an employee took potshots at GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed by saying LTT wasn’t reusing benchmark test results and implying GN and HUB were. HUB responded on twitter pointing out they they’d rerun many benchmarks and pointed to some quality issues in LMG tests. Linus responded on the WAN show in a pretty dismissive way and mentioned journalistic integrity or something. This seems to have lead GN to make that 45 minute video which includes a bunch of evidence from LMG videos.

Toxic workplace accusations aside for a moment, some of this might have blown over were it not were Linus’s shitty handling at every turn. He probably could’ve diffused some of this current situation, but just keeps being dismissive and adversarial. Steve of GN said they’d been thinking about these issues for the past few months, but I’m not sure this video would’ve dropped this week or in quite the same format had Linus not fucked up his response on the WAN show.
