~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~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...)~~

I may just be emotionally distanced enough from the channel to feel this way but I feel like this just isn't that big of a deal. At worst everything seems like negligence and/or incompetence and I don't see his main audience caring unless they already have a few bones to pick with Linus personally like a lot of people in these comments seem to.
The cover up is worse than the crime. Being wrong like that is bad, but it’s fixable and understandable the way the company is growing. Selling the prototype is a huge deal, both ethically and for future collaborations. But his statement after the fact stopped me from re-subbing to Floatplane. The response pissed me off.

Occasional inaccuracies/mistakes are to be expected and are excusable; but a regular and consistent pattern of these mistakes bridges the gap to willful, almost intentional, negligence.
That is not ok. (and is a huge part of why I don't regularly watch LTT anymore.)
LTT has chosen to focus on quantity instead of quality, so much so that the quality has slipped well below what many find useful/helpful. Having lots of content isn't beneficial if none of that content holds any value so far fewer people want to watch it.
I think pretty much any creator can agree 1 banger video with 100m views is far better than producing 100videos each only getting 1m.
Put more effort into quality; then reaching that self-imposed weekly video count won't be so important to the bottom line.
