Due to a lack of interest, time or both, LTT channel and its parent company LMG have made several unethical decisions. They rush to flood the brand with videos. As a result write and say things that are straight up false, either intentionally or unintentionally. Upsetting other tech journalists, potentially misrepresenting various companies, and misleading viewers to make bad purchase decisions with misinformation. Several examples are described in the video. Essentially LTT drama is created by their own lack of ethical and technical oversight. LTT calling out other, more technically capable, YT channels is a common blunder as it draws attention to their mistakes. Any serious tech company should avoid LTT like the plague.

That sucks, so basically they're acting like a bunch of amateurs. Shame because LTT was what got me into the tech YouTube. Thanks for the recap

They stole and sold a prototype, by accident allegedly. Their negligence is borderline criminal.
