Holy fuck, single-handedly killing a startup is way to exaggerated. I really don’t wanna defend LMG/Linus here, their mistakes are horrendous and Linus’ response was laughably bad.
But Billet Labs are fine, they probably got more good advertising out of it than anything else.
They themselves said “What’s happened recently is blip, we will not be stopped.” on a r/LinusTechTips post
The good advertising only happened after everything went down, before that they were discarded/dismissed by the largest tech review channel on the internet.

Anyone remembers the Scrapyard Wars series by LTT? about 5-10 years ago. That was really great content.

Nothing about that entire situation is good advertising.
