That comment was made after exclusively arguing with folks who had nothing to say, expect that the decision was fascist/narcissistic/etc. No explanation beyond weird buzzwords.

And I think google offers to translate text from picture for a while? So why wouldn't they implement this to YouTube? And of course they have to moderate the content if possible.

Every person with a larger online following is absolutely partly responsible to their fans behavior when it happens en masse. Especially if your audience is partly kids. They look up to you and you profit from them consuming your content so it's your moral responsibility to direct them in the right direction.

Mint flavored all the way through, baybeh!

Yeah we can agree they both could've done better. A lesson learned for the smaller startup at least I believe. And for me if I ever happen to be in a similar situation.

I came on you too harshly, these threads tend to drift always at least a bit off topic which I here interpreted as malicious even though it wasn't. I apologize.

Would they or should they have known that? Before all this I would've assumed LMG to be trustworthy, especially since "prototype" means it's at least super rare if not one of a kind, and with that kind of baggage you would've assumed that people understand that it should be handled with care, especially when you don't own it.

I guess one thing Billet Labs failed on is to have an agreement before sending the product, which I assume (don't know) to be standard practice in cases like this.

But originally I was just trying to call out your whataboutism, since it doesn't really have anything to do with how it was handled on LMG's end.

Yeah sure Billet Labs is at fault here... Even if their strategy was idiotic what does that have to do with anything? That doesn't mean they deserve this.

You send a prototype like this out to a big outlet like LTT at least for two reasons: get outside expert feedback (which they obviously failed miserably at, I don't expect other small brands trust LTT with their in-development products) and garner interest in the product and the brand. For smaller companies this kind of coverage is critical because they don't have unlimited marketing budgets like the big brands do.

Yeah. I looove the diarrhea I get from eating tubes of mint toothpaste.

If someone knows a YouTube video or something about this, I'd be interested.

Somehow I don't doubt you've gotten a lot of warnings.

What really bothers me is that Linus is leaning on the parasocial relationship aspect of his popularity. He acts like he's my buddy in need and not the star of a really big brand.
