Whose following the feud between Linus Tech tips and Gamers Nexus/Hardware unboxed?

I'm fascinated about this story that has developed in the past few weeks, but Gamers Nexus threw a solid punch with this video posted about 24 hours ago.
I used to watch a lot of Linus' videos, as I found them entertaining, but informative as well. But over the past year, I've lost a lot of interest and don't watch nearly as many of his videos (for a variety of reasons)
Anyway, thought it would be fun to discuss this a bit here as well as let everyone enjoy the shot that Gamers Nexus took (and I think it was very well done...as most things are that gamers nexus does).

Oooh, and it seems that Gamers Nexus just posted a new video about 30 minutes ago responding to Linus' response about not selling, but rather auctioning off the water block for charity. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

I stopped watching Linus years ago. I do occasionally watch some Gamers Nexus videos just to keep abreast of things but, but I find him long winded at times.

I think he's long winded at all times. Most times I get overwhelmed with the amount of data he presents in his videos, but he is thoroughly testing and evaluating and seems quite accurate and on point with all of his results.
Anyway, didn't know about any feuds with Linus. Will have to check out the videos. Sounds like popcorn time.
Yes, make a big bucket of popcorn. I don't think this story is going away any time soon.

In conclusion LMG is a media outlet not to be trusted. I knew there was a reason I stopped watching Linus videos.
I think he's long winded at all times. Most times I get overwhelmed with the amount of data he presents in his videos, but he is thoroughly testing and evaluating and seems quite accurate and on point with all of his results.
I do agree, as in watching that 45-minute video. I also agree he is rather thorough. And why I can tolerate him.

I have to completely agree with Steve here - BS on LMG's part.
BTW, the response is done in the first half of the video and is only 13 minutes long.
