A YouTube channel named “Gamers Nexus” made a video criticisms about LTT hardware Review process.
Due to having the pressure to make videos as quickly as possible, the quality control of hardware reviews has suffered, even with the Lab they assembled for testing hardware and presenting detailed benchmarks.
A startup sent Linux a watercooling prototype to review, but they tried it on a video card it was not designed for, giving bad results.
Then the “sold” the prototype apparently without the full approval of the creators.
Linus was dismissive at first, but now the company has responded and said will take quality control more seriously.
Now an ex employee named Madison came out telling basically that there is a Guy Bros type culture on LTT, where they made inappropriate comments to her, affecting her mental health, overloading her with work because she had the “funny job” of social media managment, and even verbally abused her. Some instances can be considered sexual harassment.
The new CEO of LTT said he was “shocked” by these revelations and will hire an external investigator.
