Ironically enough, this whole debacle with Billet Labs probably is better advertising than a proper review ever would have been. (sh.itjust.works)

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

Problem is, we don't know how many companies folded because of flawed reviews.

If you're just a small company, it's already hard enough to compete with the big guys, but if then there's a bad review on LTT, you might as well just close shop. And given how poorly things went over the last months, I wouldn't be surprised if there are 20 more reviews with just as bad preparation.

I guess we will find out soon enough. LTT is currently being scrutinized with a fine tooth comb.

Good. About time Linus was under the microscope.
