    GN dude literally just stated facts, with the evidence.

    And that too after an lmg video called them out by name. The original video literally had the guy saying that lmg was better than others like GN or hardware unboxed.

    They didn’t have to do it. Especially when there are multiple points of data pointing to their glaring inaccuracies.

    He kinda responded to it in a forum post. One paragraph about “improving processes and communication”.

    The rest was him doubling down on everything.

    He literally said that they auctioned the billet block and didn’t sell it. Like… what?! Are we playing semantics here?

    And he again emphasised that they didn’t want to “waste” the money to test the billet block properly, and he actually said that he didn’t want anyone to buy the billet block. In these exact words.

    That whole video, and the follow-up, were incredible. I used to trust LTT quite a bit, but after the video, I’ve just chunks of respect for LTT. Dunno if i can ever trust them.

    Edit:

    I work in the tech industry. I work for an A tier company that makes servers, storage and more. I cannot imagine fucking up a benchmark/performance characterisation chart THIS badly even for an internal presentation.

    I have spent hours double checking and re-running tests to ensure I’m getting the right numbers.

    And to see a channel as big as LTT goofing up numbers so badly, which have the potential to affect thousands of purchasing decisions, i can’t even.

    We also work with vendors, who sometimes send hardware prototypes. And we can never be THIS unprofessional to them.
