Did some new information come out? Last analysis video I watched seemed to point to pilots accidentally retracting flaps instead of landing gear.

Oh, I see he already posted an update : https://youtu.be/8XYO-mj1ugg
You should question whether to continue listening to people who claimed it was the pilots, at least anyone who stated it unequivocally. Even in the original shyte video, you can hear the RAT on the plane. A RAT doesn't deploy unless the pilots want it to, or under several critical circumstances, like losing all four hydraulic pumps.
The fact the RAT was deployed, from the very beginning, made it very obvious something was going very wrong, and almost certainly not because the pilots simply forgot to set flaps.
Also, pretty sure this plane can take off without flaps, it's just not going to be wise or fun to do so.
So... yea, anyone who claimed pilot error without qualifying that shitty opinion to hell should not be listened to for information. On anything if they treat truth with such disrepsect.
I don't think you watched either video.
He very specifically said it's nearly impossible to take off without flaps because plane will aggressively complain about taking off in incorrect configuration.
He also very clearly said that new footage made RAT deployment obvious and that's why he changed his opinion.
Not defending him or trying to convince you and I'm certainly not an expert, but he knows what he's taking about (a lot of his prior analysis was confirmed by investigators) and is not afraid to admit to being wrong. I have no reason not to trust him.
