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.
The Billet Labs incident crossed the line. That’s not something you can just apologize or pay your way out of.
Well clearly you can, because they sent LMG an invoice for it.
A) LMG stated that they reached out first to offer financial compensation.
B) LMG may have destroyed this company. Ask your self how much having your passion project destroyed is worth.
C) It’s not about the money but the attitude. LMG is giving off “I’m paying you to fuck off” vibes. This should have never happened. LMG should be tearing them selves apart to ensure this never happens again. Not giving some half assed excuses.
and D) Linus’ post basically said “this is just a random fluke, and we dont need to take further precautions to ensure it doesnt happen again”
Can he not be an asshole for five minutes?
He’s a quick one to get himself into a bind.
i found LTT’s new response excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY
It includes taking a week to go through their internal process and clean every thing up. Linus proper is only at the end, with the new CEO and Yvonna talking about it from the get go.
