I’m just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don’t usually provide specifics.

I just watched the video and in all sincerity I could not see anything wrong with it. Genuinely asking what was bad about it? He just did an 8 min follow up too which seems objectively right.

From what I can remember, the LTX thing that Louis brought up was after Linus had apologized for and then they did a colab video where it seemed they buried the hatchet on the main channel in a video where Steve and Louis both called out Linus for not doing in regards to Honey. Louis bringing that up again felt like the cliche arguing with your wife that never fails to forget some little slight you did years ago.

It all seems like jealousy on the part of Steve’s behalf especially since Linus was recently on the Tonight Show then Steve changed parts of his website to not claim to be a journalist and Louis buying into it hook line and sinker. Steve is better off staying in the investigative journalist role and Rossmann would do better not getting into youtuber drama.

Linus asked to handle it privately in a meeting at CES I believe, to keep drama out of the tech space. Linus specifically said he did not want to start drama and hoped to bury the hatchet.

Louis somehow decided it was a good idea to start massive public drama instead of trying to resolve it quietly.

Steve using Louis to fire shots while pretending to be on the high ground and not responding publicly was also rather pathetic.

Linus has certainly made some mistakes but GN framing LTT as the bastion of evil is comically stupid. Especially with the massive improvement LTT went through last year.

This is one of the removed comments, which I agree with.
