~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

That is the issue. It wouldn't be the issue if their videos were limited to being funny and goofy and for entertainment only. But their whole brand now is LLT Labs. Which is hard data focused (like GN is). So having incorrect data used to draw a conclusion for a product is journalistic malpractice.
I agree completely. I do believe good journalism is getting rarer. If it's not bad data it's people calling themselves journalists while they just amend chat GPT articles.
