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.

    Hope LTT and Linus learn from this and start to make changes!

      The response Linus posted on his forum is… Not encouraging. I think I’m just gonna leave the LTT channels behind and revisit the subject in a few years to see if anything has changed

      Edit: wording

          It seems in addition to the other stuff, Madison who previously worked there was treated very poorly, so that’s kinda becoming a part of the conversation too :( https://twitter.com/suuuoppp?t=DfjH-C3JIcxmlHQCsVKpVA&s=09

          I hope the company is able to improve things, cause at that point its not even just consumers affected, who have the ability to walk away, but also employees.

          regardless, you’re very welcome :) it’s always nice just how friendly most folks on the fediverse are. Hope you have a good one, take care!
