From the article:

Sebastian’s recent calls for friendship were accompanied by serious legal allegations and claims regarding the ethics and motives behind our entire business. We believe this is a play on parasocial relationships, reinforced by Linus Media Group’s decision to re-title the LMG Clip “Can Linus & Gamers Nexus Ever be Friends Again?”, where it paints GamersNexus as a friend who just needs to make up with LTT so things can “get back to normal.” This suppresses dissenting views by pretending to be everyone’s friend, so a legitimate critique seems like a personal attack to onlooking viewers.

If they were, they emphatically AREN'T anymore.

I picked up on that one, I remember that they'd get pretty buddy-buddy for a while before it just stopped sometime around 2019. Apparently things have escalated a little.

I don't think Linus has the ability to pilot a company, even as a C-Suite with no actual responsibilities. I went from respecting them to seeing them as just another shitty corporation.

The only friends Steve needs are at Level1Techs and GN.

And derbau8er, and hardware unboxed, and jay and, ...
Ltt is a league on its own and lives on its own little island at this point (if that is a good or bad thing, i leave to you to decide)
