And here I thought it was gonna be a slow boring Monday.

Could you give us some summary of it? I'm not really keen to watch an over 40 minutes "rant" video, if that's part of what this is.

From Gaf but I'd seriously watch it. There's some "holy fuck, that is fucked up" moments:

• LTT Insults Gamer Nexus and Hardware Unboxed over their testing methodologies.
• Hardware Unboxed hits back. Gamer Nexus takes the high road.
• LTT doubles down forcing Gamer Jesus to go full biblical on their ass.
• Exposes shady practices like Linus reviewing merchandise he himself has invested $200k in.
• Exposes shockingly inaccurate data in CPU, GPU and CPU Cooler benchmarks that are off by up to 300%.
• Exposes Linux for saying that he purposefully puts out videos with incorrect data because fixing it would cost another $500.
• LTT employees themselves say that they are burnt out on making 25 videos a week.
• LTT is now run by a seasoned industry CEO. Worth $100 million and has 120 employees.
• LTT reviews a prototype GPU cooler for 3090 using a 4090 then botches the install and proceeds to trash the cooler despite inaccurate testing methodology.
• The developer of the prototype cooler points out that this was poorly tested and that they were never contacted with the bizarre findings by LTT.
• LTT then auctions off the prototype despite the developer requesting it back months ago. This was the only working prototype which means the work has now stalled.
• LTT's most recent review of a mouse was somehow even worse with them trashing a mouse they werent even given for review. All because they forgot to remove a plastic tape at the bottom of the mouse causing it to lag.
• LTT has a habit of issuing half hearted corrections instead of taking down videos and then not pinning the comments so people watch videos that have clear errors.
• Gamer Jesus sides with the developers of the mouse and GPU cooler for being wronged by LTT and points out that small developers' entire life work is ruined because Linux didnt want to spend an extra $400 to fix a video.
