Why would it be suspicious? Thats just like writing a user manual based off of what you see users do.

Only because of how recently they have implemented the ethics and fails pages on their website and in the video they don't really make it clear like "We realized how important it is and recently implemented a system to make our failures as public as possible a few months ago.". Just looks bad and makes me think it was planned, maybe not and like I said good points were made by GN. Skimming over the size difference between LTT and GN and how GN still got 3+ errors listed? I haven't done the numbers on the failure percentage but I don't feel it would be horrible.

Even if true, and was a planned attack, that does not remove how objective the criticisms were.

Correct, as stated I agree with the good points made. But does make me question his character if his spent the last few months planning this. If it really mattered about the community being mislead it would've came out ASAP, not after his got his duck in a line putting together an ethics page, updating it with content for a couple months, skimming thru all content for errors and then BAM time for the kill.

Nobody will probably ever know weather that is the case, just imo I watch both pretty evenly and it's like two parents fighting. Both imperfect and be hide closed doors just hoping the other backs down, otherwise the show must go on.
