"Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution"
They had privately contacted LTT in the past. LTT ignored it until GN made a public video years later.
Well, if that happened, no such emails are in the GN response.
The quote was from the linked article.
You: Quote Me: The quote is not backed by any proof You: The quote is from the article
Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?
So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that's not proof?

Read the emails. Linus said he'd fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn't done anything.
Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn't do enough about it, but that was never in question.
All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don't see GN requesting any other action in the email. That's definitely not "hadn't done anything". It's not enough, but again that was never in question.
