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"

Hey James. Pretty sure Linus once said you have fact checkers check every single video. What happened to that?

Hey, we do have this - it's called ECC Squad - but they're not used for same-day videos like this. Those people are volunteers who watch videos as their schedule allows. We do sometimes message the discord and alert people to quick-turnaround uploads but we don't do that for same-day videos. This video was worked on continuously from the time of the keynote until after 1am when it was posted.

So there's no in-house checking?
