I did too, until many of the accusations, like the Billet Labs thing, turned out to be false later.
That's unfortunate (for Linus), but Louis Rossmann's story about dealing with Linus directly pretty clearly shows him to be an unpleasant person that thinks of relationships as transactional. And it is objectively true that LMG is going for quantity over quality of videos.
As other people in this thread have stated though, it seems this problem isn't actually about Linus or LMG, it's a greater trend at YouTube.
That's fair, but you also have to consider Louis is a friend of Gamer's Nexus who had a lot of conflict with LTT, and so isn't an objective party. That doesn't mean what he is saying isn't true, but I would much rather listen to the opinion of a third party.
