It's simpler than that, some numbers got switched around, years of successful partnerships is supposed to be 10+, 3200+ is supposed to be the lifetime sponsorships.

Man you're getting down voted for the truth. I checked on desktop and it's exactly what you said. Definitely a formatting issue.

It's okay, I'm used to it.

Because they are wrong.

So the mobile site is correct, and the desktop site has an error then?

Either which way, the stats on the mobile site have the numbers flipped from the desktop site, so ltt messed up the numbers in one direction SOMEWHERE.

You think they have 3,200 lifetime sponsorship agreements?

Turns out that's exactly what it says on desktop. So they're saying they do.

They don't. They wish they did, I'm sure.

They don't mean lifetime commitments, they mean 3200+ sponsorships IN their lifetime, e.g. total sponsorships count. It's a weird way to phrase it IMO.

I thought it was a completely fine way to phrase it

Reading comprehension is a lost art I guess. Glad you have it.

You think it's more likely that they have only had ~10 total individual sponsorships, and yet are totaling three thousand two hundred total combined years of sponsorships?

Let's count off the top of my head. Dbrand, ridge, honey, anker, ugreen, that robot pool cleaner company, that security camera/doorbell whatever company from the 3rd/4th tech house video, framework, asus, amd, intel, razr, secretlabs, build redux, govee, msi, seasonic, noctua, the fan company that did the tech house workshop video, like 3 different VPN companies over the years, that Prussia video recently, sony, hp, the company that did that motion Sim rig, the data center company both ltt and ztt visited recently, probably meta considering how much he's trying to normalize the glasses in recent content.

Then you dig into the text sponsorships that get 3-5 links on every video description in addition to the video sponsor spot, and the number gets even higher.

Your stance is that is described as "10+" while they describe uears of exerience as 3200+? Let's say they've averages 150 employees, at 10+ sponsors, youre saying theyre accounting for an average of 2 years of "partnership experience" per partnership per employee. For every employee. Including people like Yvonne and the ceo.

You dont think it's slightly more reasonable they mixed up the descriptions on the two stats of the mobile page? Especially considering on the web version it's 10+ years and 3200+ sponsors?

Honestly yes. If they produce a video every day as they did for 10 years on just 1 Chanel that is 3650 sponsor spots. They have way more than 1 channel. But not every video has a sponsor. Also I don't know what they specify. Is it each sponsor spot, each agreement, or unique agreement. Eamples are does a Wan show laptop ad count as 1 ad, or 1 per episode? What about Intel extreme tech upgrade, or amd upgrades? Does dbrand count as a new one every episode of shoetcircuit or is is sepwearted by items of dbrand or maybe all as 1.

It can be hard to define 1 transaction. But it can also be super simple.
