Why? This is a solid criticism, but I don't think it warrants any kind of "revenge" or whatever. Just let LTT address it and hopefully be better going forward.

I would agree until it came to the blatant and grossly negligent mishandling of Billet Labs' unique and one of a kind prototype. What they've done can't be "addressed". That can sink a smaller company that was depending on that hardware. And then LTT dared to drag them after completely fucking up their own process during the entire video.

Maybe it was more "I haven't watched it in forever anyways, they seem to have crashed in quality anyways, might as well finally pull the plug from my sub"? Sounds like that to me, anyways.

Personally the last time I really watched LTT was when he started doing the idiot-face algorith-optimization, as in a lot of ways it heralded the shift towards a "proper" business over the more smallscale tech videos I enjoyed. It just felt too clean, too business, for me. I have the same problem with GN, obviously.

You summed it up pretty nicely why I unsubbed. The part "can't believe what Linus has become" is mostly about how they handled Billet Labs.

Carighan's answer to you sums it up why I unsubbed, not due to revenge (me unsubbing isn't going to hurt them anyway). The comment about how Linus is now is due to how they handled Billet Labs and his answer to all that.
