LTT is generally pretty transparent about any restrictions companies want to put on previews/reviews. Intel’s conditions are spelled out multiple times in the video, and LTT aired a longer discussion with these folks on their podcast that contained a fair amount of Intel criticism.
This is 100% Intel trying to set the correct level of expectations for what will be a extremely competitively priced GPU with major compatibility issues at launch.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThey're transparent enough to be trustworthy for reviews, but not they're not really transparent about the influence a company might have. They will do videos for a manufacturer reviewing a product with a given set of rules, but don't always disclose their rules. They argue that their viewers know that if "showcase" is in the title they're being paid for the product (though they often omit "showcase" from their clickbait titles before adding them back later) but their custom definitions for content types are hardly an industry standard, let alone well known to the viewers. They do disclose what companies send them what, at least. They're better than most YouTube reviews in that sense. Their current content is always entertainment first, sales second, reliable reviews third. They're a media company, it's the way they do business. I have no idea what they were trying to do in this video other than show off some cherry picked samples. I'd much rather have seen a quick table of stats next to the unscripted interview during their podcast to be honest, but that doesn't bring in any cash.
