I get the whole video, it has a lot of stuff that is bad for LTT, what bothers me is the editing style. It feels more like a hit piece than a piece of criticism with how the cuts are made. If this was to be a video calling out the behaviour and actions of LTT and their channels I think it could have been edited in a way that didn’t seem to have constant cut ins from various videos mocking them. I could see a different cut done by a different editor that took the whole project seriously that would be more effective.

Could you elaborate on one with a timestamp?

I've watched it twice, and I'm not seeing what you are seeing, especially 'mocking'.

It’s the constant cut ins and zoom ins on faces throughout the video. I don’t know if mocking is the right term but what I am getting is that this video feels more like a hit piece than a form of investigative journalism that Gamers Nexus is very good at.

It doesn’t feel right to me. But I could just be crazy.

Could be wrong, but those face zooms could be from the video their cutting to, as in GN didn't add the zooms, they used vids that already had those zooms from LTT.

The WAN show clips weren’t, but it’s also possible that they were zooming in for the sake of keeping the viewers attention.
