Holy shit. LTT is really not doing themselves any favors by starting this.

The faulty stuff they put out without even feeling bad about it is insane.

Did LTT start beef with Tech Jesus or something? I'm out of the loop. Pretty damn lame if they did, GN is an amazing channel and I hold them in higher regard than LTT any day of the week.

Not directly, but reading between the lines, yes. Steve shows a clip in the first minute of this video where Linus was on the WAN show talking about Hardware Unboxed, and lamented about "some creators", and Steve says "just say it, everyone knows you're talking about us".

I don't know either but will try and watch that later. Also I always pictured Steve playing bass in an Anthrax cover band.

Once again, problems from the top down. Fish rots at the head and all that. Now they have leadership with significant conflicts of interest on top of prioritizing quantity of content over accuracy and with no sense of responsibility to the industry or the audience.

Makes me ill to see how they doubled down on their bullshit error with callous disregard for the startup they're screwing, then basically stealing the company's prototype.

If it were one or two errors maybe not the biggest deal. But the problems seem to be quite common (well they are putting out a shit ton of videos) and aren't properly corrected. The problems are clearly deeply systemic.
