  • Inaccuracies in product reviews
  • Ethical lapses, such as giving favorable reviews to sponsored products

The video has been viewed over 1 million times and has sparked a heated debate among the tech community. Some people have defended LTT, saying that they are a large channel with a lot of content, and that mistakes are inevitable. Others have called for LTT to improve their standards and to be more transparent with their viewers.
