Just want to point out LTT has released a (maybe final) response to the whole thing here: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY
Also before everyone starts having justice boners, just please remember they are human too and there’s a huge difference between knowingly defrauding their audience/vendor partners and being incompetent/overworked. That’s from a fan who used to watch all their main/spinoff videos but have stopped half a year ago because I noticed their quality dropping.
Ah, so since it’s him we should put our “justice boners” in check.
Jesus - the double-standards of some people.
The point was to put your justice boner in check. No matter who it is.
I laid out my reasoning, and yes because this post is in the context of LTT, who else would we be talking about? I can differentiate situations depending on context but if you want to call that double standards just because I am able to notice that LTT would have no incentive to publicly and blatantly steal/pawn off hardware that they knew didn’t belong to them, then I think you need to take a critical thinking class.

I think you’re missing context though. It wasn’t addressed in the video.

There’s also incredibly toxic work environment issues detailed by a former female employee that also went through sexual harassment in the work place while she worked there.
Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.
For the first half of that, I suggest actually watching the video. They basically admitted to all of that and are stopping video production for a week.
