why i HATE Linus Tech Tips

Daniel says a Linus Tech Tips exposé destroyed his trust in its accuracy, though he may still watch for entertainment. He condemns rushed, inadequate testing that allegedly misrepresented Billet Labs’ prototype and led to its auction, calling the conduct unethical. He cites a mouse-review error involving unremoved protective film and criticizes the company’s apology, especially Linus’s and his wife’s participation.

His response shifts from reliance to broad distrust, reinforced by suspicions about Linus’s character.
