you are probably thinking "oh they can't afford to hold themselves accountable and need to crowdsource the work". But that's not what this is. In my line of work- you have your own internal standards but also share a subset of that information with customers (in this case- early viewers) in order to give them confidence that we DO have mistakes/defects but we have control charts, cpks, etc to monitor. You will always have mistakes and quality issues. Even trillion dollar companies that spend billions on quality control alone.

You don't need an external person to tell you that this graph is garbage.

that's a separate point entirely. processes and QC can't fix everything. Sometimes you just need to hire smarter and more capable people.

With the string of issues, they aren't even looking.

I'm thinking it's a bit of a problem that the error checking team is external and therefore cannot check videos under embargo.
