When you ask LTT for detailed warranty terms and conditions on their products:
What really?
Tl;dr: They tried not offering a written warranty and instead took on a "trust me bro attitude" His point was that written warranties don't actually mean shit (he's right, they don't, companies can arbitrarily decide not to honor them and nothing is likely to happen).
This obviously caused a lot of backlash. IMO the biggest issue was the way they talked about it and tried to get the point across. Personally I don't have any doubt that they'd try to make things right regardless considering they've been very good about doing so in the past.
The biggest issue was that he was an enormous cunt about legitimate criticism.
Criticism that, if it was anyone out, he would have made an entire video to attacking the offending company over.
But because he thinks hes gods gift to tech, its okay when he does it.
Honestly don't understand how anyone can tolerate watching such an arrogant blowhard whose entire schtick is being an asshole.
I'm not sure we saw the same responses to the criticisms.
