At least, some of the recent controversies.

    Big shout out to them leaving the links to LTT merch in the description. Venal fucks.

        They definitely have a default description set. Bitching about that kind of small detail is pointless when there are plenty of more serious things to talk about.

            Yeah, people keep making excuses for them.

            “There isn’t enough time, they have to eat and drink and sleep”

            Then delay the video until it’s done. That’s part of the core issues that kicked this whole episode off. Them rushing out videos without care.

              Not trying to make excuses for them, I just think that picking on a low hanging fruit like the description which is more or less exactly the same for every video, feels a bit cheap to me. There are plenty of examples of them being in the wrong with far worse impact than that.

          How about the multiple merch plugs in the video itself or that the video was monetized, in direct contrast to the original video from GN not being monetized?

          Perhaps, but I see it as indicative of the problem in general. A slapdash attitude where they don’t pause for a second to consider what they’re actually doing, which, you’d think they might try and do under a 20 minute video where they grovel and scrape and beg forgiveness.

        100% this. Whoever is in charge of uploads is almost definitely using a macro to auto-fill every description. If you look, the description credits the intro/outro music which weren’t even used in this video at all.

        Most YT channels do this, very few big channels actually put anything besides their own links in descriptions.
