Problem is that LMG/LTT has been heavily investing in their "labs" and are acting as if their testing is going to become the gold standard. False information can easily lead to people spending a shit ton of money on the wrong product. Thanks to YouTube's algorithm and Google's paid for / manipulated search results finding good info is getting harder and harder. For many people downright impossible.
LTT has turned to shit ever since Luke left. I sometimes have the WAN show on as backround noise. Otherwise I'm only interested when Alex builds something.
I was shocked when I heard that they hired Madison. However, I tend to believe her. IMO, that "put your big girl pants on", "calm your tits" and calling her work "dogshit" is 100% something that James would say. That pos is a total sociopath. She said that the verbal abuse came from the higher ups and James is head of writing, so that would make sense to me.
Also, Gamers Nexus' video was no attack, it was a wakeup call. Linus' first reaction (the forum post) was dumb and it was only labeled as "drama" or "controversial" by wothless outlets who have nothing better to say/write and wanted to profit off of the situation.

Another benefit is that people you don't like aren't making money from you watching their content. They don't get clicks, you don't have to watch ads and Google has a much harder time spying on you.
They are. Here's one from Steve's 2nd channel:
