~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Unfortunately I doubt there will be any consequences, even though other people probably would lose their jobs and never be able to work in the field again after that stunt. In the past it was just unreflected consumerism, wrong or inaccurate information etc, but this is terrible.
The only consequence so far is a nearly 4k drop on FP subscribers. Roughly $20k/m loss.
That's not saying much because they still have 40k subscribers.

10 minutes in, oof.
I used to like them, but last time I saw USB C iPhone on thumbnail for news video, which turned out to be absolutely not usb related apple news. That was disappointing.
Not surprised, previous comments made by LTT employees in videos had me disliking them for awhile.
What's bad is that this isn't the first time GN has had to call out LTT / LMG.

Hopefully this will be the last time.
Edit: Just realized I'm not the first one here posting about the earlier LTT backpack warranty controversy. Now I get the "Trust Me Bro" comment.
