Just want to point out LTT has released a (maybe final) response to the whole thing here: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY

Also before everyone starts having justice boners, just please remember they are human too and there's a huge difference between knowingly defrauding their audience/vendor partners and being incompetent/overworked. That's from a fan who used to watch all their main/spinoff videos but have stopped half a year ago because I noticed their quality dropping.

    I laid out my reasoning, and yes because this post is in the context of LTT, who else would we be talking about? I can differentiate situations depending on context but if you want to call that double standards just because I am able to notice that LTT would have no incentive to publicly and blatantly steal/pawn off hardware that they knew didn't belong to them, then I think you need to take a critical thinking class.
