Not fully LTT related, but man is it hard to write an apology, everytime I read one online I've never seen people think that the person was truly apologetic.

Fully LTT related, Personally seeing the character, I'd say he is indeed apologetic, I can fully see how this error could be made from what was written in his response and hell a lot of people could have done so I'd say personally. I personally think he would be apologetic and wants to do better, this guy wants to go far to do well, he's a guy that wants to do a lot

Edit: Yeah I can understand, if you'd like to share your point of of view with me feel free to do so, I'm a chill person, just wanted to share my point of view and it'll be a pleasure to read others

    Writing this 12 Horus later. Decides to rewatch the GN video, some of those errors are really big and have to absolutely be fixed or be repaired as much as possible, and some definitely come from the size of the company which is becoming really big creating communication errors, which the bigger a company gets, the bigger the projects 5hey can work on and the slower it goes, if, it wants to keep the same quality. Seeing the Waterblock being in auction is a really really big error, and can definitely come from not enough communication between a person that knows it has to be sent back and a person that's thinking of a charity

    Its only hard when you're a narcissistic egomaniac that finds it clinically impossible to admit even the smallest amount of fault without blaming the entire world for it .

    Its no wonder why most internet apologies are written like this, because most people having to write them end up being in the position because they are narcissistic egomaniacs that think they can do no wrong to begin with.

    I don't know Linus personally the way you do, but he ran LMG as if it was still a small company running out of a house instead of a midsized one. The vibe I got was that the mistake of putting the Billet item on auction wasn't made by Linus personally, but my a staff member, that would explain that apology with Linus not taking personal responsibility because he felt like it wasn't on him to manage the movement of this one item.

    I have no horse in this race. Will still watch Techquickie and the occasional GN video.

    You are ignoring the vast bulk of the Billet story if you think its just about the whoopsie selling.

    Also new information in a GN follow up to Linus's statements showed that he outright lied about compensation to billet. its revealed by Billet themselves that there was no compensation agreement, That he hadnt even spoken to Billet labs until he sent a email at the same time he made his forum post, hours after the original GN video aired, That Billet had yet to reply to at the time of his post.

    He lied about everything, to fool people into thinking hes some poor misunderstood victim.

    A classic narcissist response.
