    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.

      This was a lot of words for someone who saw a thumbnail and a few minutes of a 40+ minute video

        Cool, in that case I’ll find some time to sit down and listen to his viewpoint.

      @rookeh @Dubious_Fart

      No. Being sponsored by products you review, auctioning off prototypes of reviewed products despite agreeing to giving it back, wrong and erroneous data - just some of the problems outlined in the video.

      But the most funny thing is that GN foresaw comments like yours happening - the community will just scream and defend LTT - without realising how bad you are for other consumers. Congrats!

        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.

      He is showing in video statements and fails done by LTT. There is nothing to water down to people like you. It’s either full data or you will misrepresent what was stated

      could have been a community post or even a short

      That’s been the problem, corrects get relegated to a useless stub rather than a genuine effort to set the record.

      Communit, post? Sorry but that would be a wall of text.
      Short? Dude theres only 60 seconds. Even a good TLDR of a 44min script can et best be shortened to 15-20min
