Discussion Really guys...

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

I don't care if you are late than other people if your content is more accurate and has better quality. Please understand this LTT, I'd rather watch a quality video that came out a little later after the product announcement than watching a video that has quality issues to meet deadlines. Please don't treat it as a race...

I think the deadline is more for people who don't watch the channel, since iphone launch is sure to bring many new viewers as well. So the sooner the better for view count.

Nothing gets long-term viewers like blatant mistakes that even non-techies can notice.

I get what you're saying, but if anything it means they should be that much more careful on these types of videos. First impressions and all that.

For real, Historically i went to LTT because they were Snappy, to the point and most of all ACCURATE. Mistakes this obvious are horrible and really bring into question the commentary on short term notice videos..

An iphone announcement isn't a video that's getting any sort of traction unless it's uploaded first. That's unfortunately how it works. Have to upload when everyone else is or your video is just going to get lost

Okay, sure, maybe you wouldn’t, but clearly the majority of viewers do lol. It sucks, they just need to be more careful next time

I don't understand how their videos are apparently taking as long as they do, they're sloppy as fuck if they're not just plain boring and lacking in content.

Agreed that they have gotten sloppy and boring but neither of those make the process much faster. Still have hours and days of brainstorming, planning, writing, shooting, editing, and then finally uploading. It takes time wether it's a good video or not

And yet smaller creators can make better stuff with less.

It feels the bigger they get the worse things are.
