    Looks like there is some new Youtube drama

    Edit: I should of said controversy not drama. I’ll leave it for the replies.

      it’s way too thorough to be youtube drama. it calls into question LMG’s ethics and business practices. what they did to the waterblock company of two people is obscene. they reviewed the only viable prototype the company had on incompatible hardware, trashed the product in the review, then sold the product act auction to a potential competitor. they effectively destroyed the company and in the WAN show said that they couldn’t retest the product properly because it would have cost $500 - not of Linus’s time, but of his employees. it’s such a callous way to behave that I literally cannot fathom it.

      the sheer scope of the data errors from rushed video production are the icing on the cake.

      Okay. But GN is not wrong about LTT in the video. If LTT were smart, they would take a long look at themselves and learn from this.

        I think this is the real takeaway from this so far. LTT is being called out on errors that even they acknowledged (via pins, edits, wan shows, tweets, and forum posts) and the best thing for them to do is step back, remove emotion from the public criticism, and evaluate if the number and frequency of errors benefits them, their brand, and trust.
