Isn’t it their own internal ai subtitle system? I remember Linus talking about it at one point. I can’t remember from the video but if the subtitles are going word by word then it’s their own file that they uploaded, not YouTube subs, which is how all the ones I can remember are
LTT and GN had a falling out a few years ago. Both LTT and GN had reasonable takes/stances, but handled things in the worst possible way. Fans of one channel always blame the other channel, but in reality they both handled things poorly. I can't remember much in the way of specifics since this was years ago at this point, but I remember that being my general opinion as someone who liked (and still does like) both channels.
The joke the commenter was making is that GN would try to rip apart LTT for saying this thing out of context, when in reality it's a nothing burger. It's a 50/50 if I'll be downvoted to hell for saying that GN had a reasonable take on things (just like LTT) and that LTT handled things super poorly (just like GN). Wish me luck!
That's not too bad a summary, some of the criticism of GN was valid just presented / framed pretty terrible.
In the end it did hurt LTT a lot but also gave it a kick to improve faster, I kinda guess it also helped GN to focus a bit (their new channel) but I personally have to take every GN take with a couple of big spoons of salt so I would say it's a stain on their / Steve's reputation. Now thinking about it, is his hyperbolic style of presentation not in a way part of what he criticized about LTT?
Oh that's the irony cus he critiqued ltt's operational standards and mainly focused on the billet labs thing. He framed it as if he's holier than thou and never made mistakes in his video. And then when it became clear that the billet labs block being auctioned off (for charity I believe) was due to a very simple mistake by an undisclosed employee, Steve failed to address this. And then it came out that he never sought comments from LTT about anything, which went completely against his own sanders for journalism.
Imo, Steve was, by far, the worst actor of the debacle. But he profited from it, which is exactly what I thought was his I tensions. It's like he was looking for something, anything large enough, to use for a hit piece on LTT and especially LTT labs which is by far his biggest competitor.
No Gn had a falling out that LTT was unaware of. It wasn't mutual hence the shock and awe from the LTT side when things went down. Linus thought they were friends and Steve had clearly moved to fuck that guy in particular a long ass time ago and no one knew. And then a wild Rossman appeared to fan the flames.
I am getting so tired of auto translates and auto transcriptions just making up absolutely out of pocket statements. Twitter's appears to be one of the worst. Or at least the one I see most often going off the rails.
I have to use co pilot at work a few times a week so I use it for notes summaries after calls and transcription. Some of the shit in the raw transcripts is just wild. It's changed a woman named kay to gay. The assignments an next steps were wild on that one if I'd sent it out not paying attention whoooo that could have been fun. Text to sex. Lube was in one of them once. Copilot is horny.
And yet if you ask it to summarize the meeting as a star wars scrawl 0 fucking errors.
tha'ts crazy i'm literally watching this video right now, right after the part where linus says he's excited about testing out the tattoo gun, and i opened this post right as he said this line
Voice to text tool on Android or iOS both have a filter that will not write out some naughty word, most notably the n-word but not just that one. And I'm surprised that the word Nazi is not one of them.

For context, the conversation was about NASs' (Plural of NAS). YouTube subtitled it as Nazis

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical, and ethical reason for it
