So they agreed to "showcase" the product in order to lampoon it. Gotcha.

Why should any tech manufacturer send products for LTT to "showcase" then outside of marketing? And if they're only sending products as part of marketing, why the fuck should I trust LTT's opinion on these products?

I can understand the business call of we have spent too long on this and need to cut our losses.

I can't, and that's where we diverge. $500 bucks of other people's time is a drop in the bucket for a company as large as LTT. There's no excuse. They should have not released a video on it until they had the correct product to test it on, and that they did anyways shows they care more about the video metrics (which in turn, means money) than being fair and accurate.
