Any shit thrown at LMG is good news to me, they deserve it after how dirty they treated Madison back then. They never properly addressed that either in the eyes of the audience...

This whole writeup reads like an angsty high-schooler. It's all about personality conflicts and petty BS, even the plagiarism email shows that GN appeared to be happy with the response, but now they're acting like they never were.
Gaslighting all around.

LTT never made any corrections or proper attributions, like they said in the email (which is what GN was happy about - that LTT agreed they were due credit and said they'd give it to them). LTT never followed through so it's pretty justifiable that GN's initial feelings would sour.

After reading that article I can say that Linus is even bigger POS than I thought he was.
Before reading: knowing Linus and GamersNexus, I think Mr. Nexus is in the wrong here, but won't admit it
...just a bunch more insinuations, some avoidance and irrelevant stuff. I'm not going to bother further
I know gamersnexus isn't the more thorough guy, and it appears like that hasn't changed much
Lol. Is this a /s post. I think it's very clear to any human being with eyes that can read. GN is much more thorough in literally all ways.
Just finished reading. In summary: everyone loses here.
Linus made some silly but understandable mistakes, had some very poor word choices in private communications, and got Steve on the defensive by publicly mentioning he didn't want to sue but implied he could. LMG is also (in the youtube world) a large company and is likely always working on process improvements, and the improvement Steve seems to want to happen that they are definitely lacking in, is to update old content with corrections or omissions.
Steve poorly or never communicated what he thought were satisfactory resolutions to past comments or incidents and is upset that those resolutions didn't happen, and is only escalating the situation further by softly threatening legal action, while also hinting that they have way more evidence they are just conveniently leaving out despite their current evidence being mostly empty (specifically receipts 1 and 2).
They both run very different channels with different focuses and staff sizes and production values, and each has made mistakes. None of this spat should have been public, but it seems both parties are just bad at communicating with one another and it has only escalated due to LMG actually publicly responding to public allegations by GN.
If I had to declare a winner so far, Steve is looking worse for wear to me given the poor examples provided as receipts and the continued threat of legal escalation, but again - everyone loses here. Everyone looks worse and this should have been handled privately. Maybe LMG should appoint someone other than Linus to handle fellow media contacts, because it doesn't seem like he's the best for that job.

If anyone wants to neatly summarize this drama in a few sentences, that would be much appreciated. I don't have time to read this essay or watch multiple 45 minute videos on GN.
LTT is a shitheel, repeatedly.
LTT gets called out for being a shitheel by different people.
LTT Cries about being a victim of the big mean critics, specifically targeting GN (despite other critics)
LTT fans get big mad at GN for criticizing dear leader, while completely ignoring every other critic (Just like LTT wanted)
LTT successfully, amongst his cultists, frame it as "GN Big Mean at LTT, y u no be fren?" in desperate attempt to make someone other than LTT look like the bad guy.. and fails.

Man we need new tech reviewers that don't make drama by talking past each other in pedantic ways to no ones benefit and go back to talking to the audience and in simple terms so that new people can find an in to join the community.
This is pathetic. I'm so tired of both massive corporate Linus and Gamer's Nexus.
