~~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...)~~

I watch most of LTT videos for years, but I gotta admit I have no idea what is going on with this drama, they never actually say specifically what they are accused of - I'm starting to think it's just drama for the sake of drama, and I hate that shit
Dafuq is this comment?
A troll.
They have clearly been living under a rock...
Your attitude is a big part of what's wrong with this world. "I'm ignorant and too lazy to educate myself so I'm going to blame the victim"
I don't even know who the victim is, I'm commenting about how I only watch LTT videos on YouTube , and since that is my source of info - they never actually say what they did wrong, makes me feel like the 2 videos they have put out aren't very genuine.
Blame the victim? Seems like they blame LTT for not being clear enough about what is going on.
So many people coming in with this mindset never bothered to click at the community the post is in to find out more? IT'S ALL THERE!
its not.
super short version:
1: they have been pointed out as being very sloppy with presenting data, this could be construed as the type of drama you are talking about if you squint hard enough.
2: they have been accused of being a place with sexual (and other) harassment among the workers, and choosing not to help the vicitm(s). This is not good in any light.
Thank you for the info, I was after a tldr version since I don't spend all my time on LTT specific communities (I found this post via all on lemmyworld)
Because all the rest of the comments are being super helpful, here’s the rundown for those not terminally online.
Another YouTube channel, Gamer’s Nexus, made this video talking about the inaccuracies in LTT’s lab data which also mentions a huuuuuge faux pas by LTT auctioning off a prototype model of a product from a company that only has that prototype. LTT also dunked hard on that prototype due to improper testing parameters that the company said that the product is not rated for. Some serious workspace allegations also came up around this time from a former LTT employee, but there’s no hard evidence.
Thank you for the info, shame the other people in this community are so hostile
Tell us you can't be bothered to pay attention without telling us you can't be bothered to pay attention.
Where is the 2 second video? Only one I've seen is the 40 minute gn one, and the 2 useless ones from LTT
If it were not serious they wouldn't have to address it. But they do.
They don't mention it by name to protect their image. A shit practice because it gives the impression of dishonesty and evasion. They don't name the things so as not to acknowledge and announce them. Viewers may not know the full scope of accusations or may feel worse about LTT when they name the issues. So they don't.
Yeah, a 40 minute video, when all I was looking for was something I could read in my own time and cut all the bias bs out
