There are basically 3 major points:

-LMG is pushing videos out too fast. Not enough editorial review to catch glaring errors and can be misleading to consumers.

-LMG was lent a custom prototype of a GPU waterblock by Billet Labs for testing and review. LMG was told it was for a 3090 specifically but decided to test it on a 4090 instead. It ended up performing terribly and was reviewed as essentially a bad product that "no one" should buy. He doubled down on this even after people pointed out he used the wrong GPU. Then to add insult to injury, he auctioned off the prototype where Billet's competitors were in attendance (not sure if they got a hold of it, but the issue still remains) instead of returning it as promised. So now Billet is not only sitting on top of a very negative review, they are missing essentially their best prototype.

-Lastly, some ethics concerns around their review process such as offering favorable reviews to certain vendors like Framework (which Linus had invested in), Asus, and a few others. As well as how they treat their employees (grind)
