~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

MODERATORS
What they did to Billet Labs is evil. I hope LTT gets sued for it.
They've already paid what Billet requested, hopefully they also get some publicity out of this to help with the nonmonetary damages as well.
It's clear that it wasn't done maliciously, but there must be something seriously wrong with their processes for this to happen in the first place. The other comments they made were just adding insult to injury.
Edit: To clarify, they claimed to have accepted a quote that Billet sent them according to Linus on the forums. This ended up being a lie according to Billet.
No they haven't, Linus didn't even offer compensation until this video came out.
The timeline wasn't known when I made my original comment. His original response implied that they had agreed to the quote long before, though after the second GN video it was made clear that this wasn't true.
