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
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.
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.
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.
As someone in my 30s it sounds like every job I've had. Even moreso when it comes down to being a small business type job.
Not saying it's fine... I just wonder if there are other ways to go about changing things. It's obviously not just ltt that this goes on. It's obvious that it's been our culture and it's only beginning to change.
Personally I feel like a lot of people in society don't stand up for themselves and wait too long before taking a stand. That's probably where victim blaming stems from. And when I say speak up or stand up, I don't mean go tattling BEFORE you look the person fucking with you in the eyes and tell them not to ever treat you like that again. You gotta let people understand what's wrong, especially coming from a culture where all this is basically still considered normal. Otherwise the situation gets clouded by useless drama and emotional confusion that distract from change actually happening.
I feel like modern "oUtRaGe" culture, for lack of a better term, is becoming a set back in terms of moving forward with change. People act like they want criminals reformed instead of prisoned, but then gladly skip reform or teaching the lesson with a level head in these "outrage" situations. To me this shit is like watching politicians or sports teams... It's just entertainment for people... As long as they're on the winning side they really don't care about the change or the lesson.
Teach the lesson, when the lessons learned the class is over.
