I also think that GN probably should have asked for comment before releasing this kind of criticism against arguably their largest competitor.

GN commented on that very criticism on his response.

Not defending LMG's mistakes, but GN's opinion that you should not ask for comment doesn't hold water.

GN definitely has an agenda here. He made several comments that made it quite clear he's resentful of LTT's success.

While I don't think anything he reported is false, it's all wrapped in a narrative that relies on implications. He certainly makes a whole lot of hay about a few small mistakes and heavily implies LTT is in the pockets of their sponsors and a conspiracy theory that LTT is only successful because of some connections and preferred treatment by YouTube.

He's very much trying to establish a narrative that LMG is wildly corrupt and undeserving of their success. However, a lot of it comes across as sour grapes.
