Like Steve's video is about calling out inaccuracies and how LTT should do better. I strongly believed that they have the moral high ground here, but after watching Dr. Cutress' breakdown, it really feels the total opposite.
Steve presented Gary Key as a marketing person, which is true, but the big element was not mentioned that he is a major expert in motherboard review. That is a really big fucking deal, there's no way they were not aware of it. They decided that not to say that information about him, which is not incorrect however it feels highly dishonest.
The mouse video -which did not occur to me- they really used a small segment of a video. But the not advised result can come from other elements too. Yeah there was a mistake with the plastic, but the whole video wasn't about that.
It was mentioned that LTT has a method in youtube to fix parts of videos that others don't have. It's not their fault that others don't have the option. GN did it with Principled Technologies, NewEgg, and even with Artesian builds. But now they did not do the same thing towards LTT, and claim that it is the right way to do it. This really does feel dishonest.
I also strongly believed that part of they did not contact LTT before hand, and I tought Linus is out of his mind for saying that is not cool. And thinking it trough, that would not have changed the outcome, it would have given them a fair chance to comment.
And more crutually the breakdown of sentencing and evidence usage in Steve's video analysed by Dr. Cutress is really eye opening. It really does feel like now that there's a jelausness in the background and that is the offense.
