What's going on between Linus Media Group and Gamers Nexus? - eviltoast

I’ve been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I’ve seen on posts related to this, there’s been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?

      Yeah, the gist I seem to be getting from GN’s video is that there is a lack of due diligence and journalistic integrity at LMG w.r.t. testing products, primarily because they’re unnecessarily rushing content out.
