    Yeah I noticed that. Idk if LTT were asked not to publish it but GN did censor it. I don’t remember if they said they’d been asked to censor it or if they just took the initiative. It’s not a huge thing but it’s a bit sloppy to publish the number. As others have said, you’d think they’d want to be as clean as a whistle to prove they can do something properly, given the accusations of sloppiness

    Thanks for the link. I initially linked directly to the public .mp4 video file on floatplane, but I updated the post to the youtube link once it was published. I’ll leave the youtube link in the OP as I think it’s easier, although I don’t like that they monetised the video. GN didn’t monetise theirs.

    edit: I didn’t notice at first, but having all this shit in the description is also just a bit tactless? Like, read the room guys. I know it’s probably just a default under all videos but didn’t someone think to omit it for this one?

    I don’t agree.

    and then rushes a video out

    I don’t think this felt rushed. I think, as he said in the video, this has been brewing for months, and it felt thought through and thorough.

    Steve opted to not do the proper thing and provide the accused party the opportunity to respond

    I think if it was one mistake they would have done exactly that. But as it’s been a consistent trend over months or even years of sloppiness and mistakes and rushed videos, you can’t just have a word with someone and fix that overnight. I think publishing the video and their thoughts, and rallying the community to raise awareness and force them to improve, is the right move.
