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.

The quality was already going down, but now I'm unsubbed and I'll never click on a LTT video again. Sorry, but this behavior is just unacceptable.
"We didn't sell it, we auctioned it", Jesus H. fucking Christ.
GN also literally said "auction" not "sold" in his first video, so Linus's response was doubly stupid.
It doesn't even matter. An auction is selling too, same thing. If I put my stuff on eBay and someone buys it I don't say I "auctioned it off", I say "I sold it to some guy on eBay". It's just fixed price vs a bidding, in the end a price gets reached and a transaction occurs.
Linus can't seem to take the L and just digs the grave deeper. Unfortunately at this point LTT is too big to fail, but I hope it puts a dent in their numbers and makes them eat some humble pie. Maybe they can fix their internal issues then.
I mean I completely agree with you in that the semantic bullshit is bullshit, my point was that Linus wasn't even correct in his attempt at BS because GN didn't use the word "sold". GN used the same word that Linus is attempting to say is totally different.
Linus used the semantics that it sold for "charity" ie. "We didn't sell it for money for us! We sold it for someone else's benefit!"
Linus's brain simply cannot accept he did something wrong, so the cognitive dissonance forces him to make these great leaps of logic. He could have ended everything with a simple "I'm sorry, we'll correct this" but his ego would never allow it.
Least apologetic Canadian.
He admits he doesn’t watch videos but instead reads the comments. Commenters often oversimplify things like this.

I'm going to borrow things "to try" from my friends house, say they sucked, and then sell them on eBay.
I'll just say I auctioned them.
GOT EM.
