Holy shit lol. I can never watch another Linus video again without thinking about this criticism.

Anyone eles noticed that LTT (excluding LMG clips) have not dropped their usual daily videos yet. Leads me to believe they saw this GN video.

Good work Steve, they are already taking a bit more time on today's video at least!

They just released one. Probably triple checked it before publishing it too LOL

The frequency response graph used in headphones is not an accurate/standard way to measure microphones, and LTT labs doesn't have HVAC isolation.

Sadly this video makes a lot of sense… I’m astonished

Unfortunately I doubt there will be any consequences, even though other people probably would lose their jobs and never be able to work in the field again after that stunt. In the past it was just unreflected consumerism, wrong or inaccurate information etc, but this is terrible.

Not surprised, previous comments made by LTT employees in videos had me disliking them for awhile.

I used to like them, but last time I saw USB C iPhone on thumbnail for news video, which turned out to be absolutely not usb related apple news. That was disappointing.

I feel like whatever point Steve is trying to make here could have been a community post or even a short rather than what looks like a 45 minute hit piece on his competitor.

This appears (from the thumbnail and first few minutes of content) to be drama for the sake of drama. If anyone can summarise to the contrary, please do.

My first thought, but then I watched it. I saw some criticism for LTT a while ago but never figured out the issue was that bad. They blatantly mislead the viewers with shit information, worse I’ve seen the videos mentioned in the GN video. Gladly I saw the entire GN video and now I’m fully aware, and to say the least I expect an apology from Linus and a hefty compensation to the company that made the cooling block.

Yeah, I just finished watching it. I stand corrected - first impressions aside, Steve raises some important concerns.

I'm also impressed that he voluntarily de-monetized his own video, it goes a long way to highlighting the principles behind it. Not many content creators literally put their money where their mouth is like that.

I will be interested to see how LMG responds to this.

Unfortunately corporations will be corporations and these things will always happen, once LMG stopped being Linus media group it became your usually shitty corporation focused purely on profit (while that was the point from the beginning at least then it was for the purpose of getting higher quality content and actually paying Luke)
