I missed the part where you provide sources/reasons for your allegation of crime?
I've blocked his channels, so I can't give recent sources. But it was VERY clear he ignored AMD graphics for years around 2014-2018, until when they began to advertise, they suddenly got attention. Also it was very clear that when Intel stopped their program to support reviewers, he did a 180 and was suddenly VERY EXTREMELY negative on everything Intel. Coinciding with when AMD began to advertise on his channel.
Just pay attention if you use his channel, and I bet you'll see it very quickly too.
Yep, Gamer Nexus ripped Linus a new one recently. Linus only talks for money. Well proven by the Billet Labs scandal among many others.
Nothing what GN was talking about was about money though, it was about rushing things and making mistakes
Have you noticed how Intel is doing so much worse than AMD pretty much across the board though? Maybe it just reflects reality :)
You can look at the stock chart for a quick summary.
I have AMD stock😀, I was always an AMD guy and stuck with my trusty Bulldozer FX CPU when they were really bad compared to Core2, I predicted way back in 2016 AMD would compete with Nvidia on compute, and later AI. But even for me what Linus did was too thick.
Intel was still ahead in single threaded at the time, but Linus focused ONLY on negative things.
Here you go.

Have you actually seen the video?
It in no way talks about "hidden advertising".
Yes I watched it in it's entirety. He talks about it. As in Linux doesn't do anything if there's no money involved. How he acted towards Billet Labs in a pathetic way because they were an upcoming small firm with little to no money. Another commentator in this post had already mentioned how he turned from positive to negative towards Intel when Intel stopped paying reviewers. Do you remember when they monitised the fricking apology video on YouTube? Clues are all over the place if you are willing to see with an open eye.
