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.
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.
