    The apology video to me rang hollow and self serving. They made jokes (including a sex joke which was very unfortunate timing), they teased a new product and plugged lttstore, they said the details on how Labs does thorough testing will be paywalled, they publicly disclosed Billets prototype price which GN’s video clearly stated they did not want public (an error in the video apologizing for errors), and then there’s Linus’ response.

    I’ve canceled my floatplane subscription and unsubscribed from all of their YouTube channels. I was willing to see them through on the original accusations from GN, but after that “apology” and the accusations from Madison, I no longer feel okay rewarding them with my time and money.
