The popular YouTube channel is also 'hiring an outside investigator' in response to an ex-employee's allegations.
from Sebastian, who acknowledged some"sloppiness" but defended LTT's record of transparency and accuracy. The problem with the Monoblock review wasn't the accuracy of his conclusions, he wrote, but that he"read the room wrong" in his response to criticism of LTT's process.
Today, LTT changed tack with an apology video featuring appearances by multiple members of the company's leadership team, including CEO Terren Tong , chief financial officer Yvonne Ho, and various department heads. There's a widespread acknowledgement that all is not well at the site, and that accuracy has suffered as a result. There's also a direct criticism of Sebastian's handling of the Monoblock review.
"I've read the criticisms that we weren't willing to spend $500 to test a product, and as the one that manages the finance, I can tell you that couldn't be further from the truth," Ho says in the video."Linus made a clear and egregious judgment error regarding retesting a product he felt was impractical. That was wrong, and I've told him so. He allowed his personal feelings on the matter to cloud his judgment.
Sebastian himself appears near the end of the video, admitting that he made the situation worse by reacting emotionally to complaints that he felt had become too personal. He apologized for the Monoblock situation but also, and again, defended LTT's behind-the-scenes handling of the situation, saying the site had tried to make things right with Billet Labs before the dispute became widely known.
"I owe you guys better, and I'm sorry," Sebastian said."I'm also going to be spending my week [off] just refocusing, guys, on what matters most, which is bringing you guys the best damned content that we can make. It's been over 10 years—it's been almost 15—but I still love tech, I love my team, and even though our relationship is a little rocky right now, I love this community and everything that it stands for.
