From the video description: In HW News this week, we start with a discussion about Linus Sebastian’s recent reply to our commentary about Linus Tech Tips’ issues with accuracy, data, corrections, ethics, and conflicts. We are baffled and disappointed by the hastily, angrily-written, and at times inaccurate statement posted.

    I don’t think anyone intended to cause problems, but at some point enough incompetence that is allowed to continue becomes the same thing, at least in my book. Having a system where it’s that easy to just lose some other company’s property and then, even worse, allow a third party to take possession is absolutely an unacceptable level of mismanagement.

    What is going on over there where a $500 reshoot that would ensure a fair and balanced review of the product is such an nonnegotiable prospect?

    It’s all about the money. LMG is prioritizing speed and quantity over quality or even just basic professionalism.

      And it’s prioritizing short-term views over long-term stability. Sure, rushing the review gets you views now, but if companies realize that you’re not going to give their product a fair shake, they’ll stop sending you products. Then to review things, you’ll need to buy them yourself, further cutting into your profits. If Billet Labs ever makes another product, they’re not going to send LTT a review sample because of this whole shitshow. Other startups are now going to be hesitant to send LTT review products because 1. They may not get a fair review, and 2. They may not get their review product back.
