About Honey, they didn't find out that Honey was scamming viewers until everyone else did.

What they found out earlier, at the same time as many other youtubers, was that Honey was "scamming" the youtubers themselves by replacing the youtubers reference codes.

At the time they thought the viewers still got discounts, so they didn't announce anything about it since it would seem like they asked the viewers not to take the discounts so that LTT could make more money.

For example they found out one of their main sponsors Honey were scamming their viewers and essentially stealing from people, they just kept it quiet rather than owning it.

That's one of the things I was referring to. GamersNexus did an expose on the Honey thing and filed a class action suit over it because they were essentially stealing money from creators. Linus was complicit and aware and said nothing.

Let's also not forget the time Linus literally received a prototype cooler from Billet Labs for testing, was supposed to return it after review, and he not only reviewed it poorly (and used it for the wrong hardware), but then basically stole it and auctioned it off, later referring to this as "a small mistake." Supposedly he only offered to pay for the prototype after this was also exposed by GN.

Billet Labs' statement on the issue:

You, the PC community, are amazing. We'd like to thank you for your support, it means more than you can imagine.

Steve at Gamers Nexus has publicly shown his integrity, at the huge risk of backlash, and we have nothing but respect for him for how he's handled himself, both publicly and when speaking directly to us.

...

Regarding LTT, we are simply going to state the relevant facts:

On 10th August, we were told by LTT via email that the block had been sold at auction. There was no apology.

We replied on 10th August within 30 minutes, telling LTT that this wasn't okay, and that this was a £XXXX prototype, and we asked if they planned to reimburse us at all.

We received no reply and no offer of payment until 2 hours after the Gamers Nexus video went live on 14th August, at which point Linus himself emailed us directly.

The exact monetary value of the prototype was offered as reimbursement. We have not received, nor have we asked for any other form of compensation.

Dude's just scummy. I've no idea why people will defend him to the ends of the earth.

That's from way back when. They shut production for a week, reassessed how they make things, and came back with the promise to be more thorough and not release a video when it's just not done that day. And they have "missed" some days since.

I just find his voice very irritating. I know not everyone feels that way.

I also don't hear any, and neither does Fran Drescher have one? I mean my ears were ringing too much from all the fapping to notice it on The Nanny.
