I'm not too worried for them.

fyi, engagement and trust aren't the same thing
ELS122:
What about the time they "not-reviewed" a gaming mouse and said how dissapointing it is because it has a lot of friction.
Then when the company that made the mouse contacted them and told that they didn't remove the protective feet, and that's the reason it had so much friction.
They responded with "we did remove it"... the company sent them a screenshot from the video showing how clearly they didn't remove it. And all linus did was post a comment in the video.

So linus has been a PR nightmare for 2 companies now.


You are supporting someone who cares more about his own PR than others. If he didn't, he would go out of his way to correct both mistakes in something like a re-review.

I see zero comments about the hoopla, that seems strange, are they deleting them?
Anyway it was a fun video, Linus seemed to be having fun. But maybe this was shot before the hoopla started?
Ice-Tea:
They did mention that they had a few in the pipeline when the "hoopla" started.

Then again, they had the WAN show and didn't mention it either. Seems like the right things to do. "We got slapped around a bit, took corrective actions, now we forge forward".

Sure, they are not. But does it matter all that much for the content creator? From what i know about Youtube, only engagement matters.
