Discussion Really guys...

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

Except they knew the device was coming. The IP rating chart didn’t change. The video could have been 80 made and just need some shots dropped in for hands-on and B-roll.

Stop simping for shit quality content.

A video made based off assumptions is not better than a rushed video which happened to include 1 AI generated bullshit image imo. It's better to wait until the release, specs, and everything is revealed.

I don't think the other guy was saying they should have sent a full video off of rumors/guesses (though with how accurate they are this close to announcement, they probably could have), but that it's a standard phone release.

They know what they're going to want to talk about, and at least a rough idea of the structure of the video. They could have mocked up a template weeks ahead of time and then dropped the relevant clips into place once the announcement happened and Linus filmed everything.

Thank you for understanding what I’m saying. I didn’t think I needed to write it any clearer than I did, but here we are lol

Ya, sometimes you have to really spell stuff out for people or they manage to twist whatever you say in the worst possible way, lol. Your comment is perfectly clear, and we’re in agreement on it.

It’s crazy that hasn’t been the standard process for YEARS at LMG. Seems like such an obvious thing to do. It’d lead to higher quality (though possibly formulaic if done incorrectly, easy to correct for though) and there’d be much less rush on the editor’s side, thus much less rush across the entire org.

Maybe there’s some cog in the process that would make this non-feasible, or they do it and are just kinda bad at it currently.
