You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?
Bro... Are you ok?
I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Mate, you should never think an online influencer/store is on your side. They're not.
Not even Steve from Gamer's Nexus is your friend.
Can you still practice safe exchange with them? Yes, just be informed of your rights.
Edit/addition: Didn't check the link. Thought this was about the last drama.
This addresses new issues, and it's important to solve those issues.
I feel like when Linus was still CEO, he made too many choices too fast, and that's caused the situation LMG is in now.
They have to rush content to get bills paid in time.
An extremely impulsive CEO is never good.
I've always held the opinion that any celebrity or influencer or whatever is absolutely fucked up in some way. You just have to hope they're fucked in some way that is relatively harmless
At least with Steve I get the general impression he genuinely cares about people and what he does. He also seems like a genuinely nice person
Whereas for Linus, it has felt for a while that he is basically just a business person who does this because it's profitable (I think he used to care though).
You can care about people as a proxy of doing PR over the thing you like to do.
Not saying he's an asshole or anything; people just need to stop having these weird as fuck personal relationships with online personalities whom they don't even actually know.
But yeah, Linus used to care more, but it was years ago when he started saying he'll stop being CEO soon. Started piling up from back then to where it is now.
Tl;dr: frustrations, inability to do the thing he wanted, high commercial pressure, family, impulsiveness (New houses, new cars, new projects while there were multiple still in progress or not even started), etc. Lost sight of what he was doing, and what he wanted.
Maybe that'll slowly improve with new CEO, and the projects he started finishing.
Imma go ask Steve if he wants to be my friend.
Good idea. i'll do the same.
Well to be fair, he'll probably agree over a longer contact period, albeit it doesn't seem he has a lot of free time.
Yea, if even 1% of their fan base were to send them a message ot would be spam for days. Even if they weren't doing anything else it would be too much.
Still wish him all the best.
