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.

      LTT marketing themselves as a Canadian company/channel but using only US prices and availability was always a red flag for me.

        Why? It’s a business and they go where the money is. I don’t mind LTT thinking like a business - everybody’s gotta eat. But the screw-ups with Billet aren’t okay and the incredibly hostile workplace described on Xitter is beyond the pale.
