This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor – by staff's own admission – quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

    Ok fair. But I think he repeatedly shows himself to be incompetent and his response to being called out strikes me as very narcissistic.

    Those two things together = wack

      I changed instances but am the same user you responded to.

      I think that’s a pretty reasonable perspective to have at this point. Did you see the update gamers nexus did covering linus’s response on his forums? Linus implied some things in an offhanded way about the situation with the startup’s water block, and when gamers nexus checked with the startup, it made the way Linus framed things seems EXTREMELY explicitly dishonest. Honestly the situation seems to be getting worse, not better.

      And one of the former ltt employees made a post on twitter explaining she had a horrible experience there and that the company treated her very poorly 🙃

      Edit: grabbed the link to the Twitter stuff https://twitter.com/suuuoppp?t=DfjH-C3JIcxmlHQCsVKpVA&s=09 I really liked Madison :( sucks to know she was really mistreated

        Yeah I just saw that thread as well. Just cemented the fact that he can’t take criticism, he just plays victim and pushes blame on others.
