“I didn’t say she was bad at her job, I’m just asking questions”

Being *proudly* anti-union is the problem, not that they’re just a non-union shop. Also, his asset control system is for absolute shit if they accidentally commit conversion, but you can guess that based on the amount of stuff that ends up at employees houses. They stole that prototype.

YouTube apology face.

Did you post this to the wrong article?

Just as long as they don’t rescind my hairline!

The only reason someone should return an acting award is if it turns out it’s not actually their performance, somewhat like Milli Vanilli and their Grammy. This obviously hasn’t happened yet, and isn’t likely to any time soon, but I suppose we could get to a point where actors are replaced with computer generated…

They need him to gradually push it from one side of the shelf to the other, in conjunction with the phases of the moon.

LTT literally tested a prototype in a way that went against the creator’s explicit instuctions on a wrong GPU (despite Billet Labs providing the GPU on which the cooling block prototype was meant to work - which, as it turns out, was also not sent back to BLL), decided not to correct that in any way, then sold (oh,…

His initial response of “well ACTUALLY we didn’t sell it, we auctioned it” was so spectacularly stupid and ill-advised that it made me actually believe him that he’s doing too much work to actually function.  

Correction 8/16/2023 1:19 p.m. ET: Clarifeid weekly video count described in the fifth paragraph belongs to Linus Media Group as a whole and updated to reflect only one weekly podcast is produced.

The main problem is that LTT initial response to criticism like this is to act like “Y U mAd?”, then apologize only after the blow back. Most of the time Linus goes and stirs up shit on the socials, only to figure out that, no, people are upset and you’re acting like a douche. Then the apology video hits, “blah blah…

That’s what bugged me most. Linus’ response is easily the worst of everyone else. They all, for the most part, accepted the criticism and said they’d be better in the future. That’s fine, but most of Linus’ response was him whining about people calling him a thief.

They literally do. LMG has a bunch of channels, not just LTT.

They absolutely do. LMG is more than just LTT. They have a ton of channels at this point, and across them all (all done by the same staff), that is an accurate tally.

Across all of their channels, they total a weekly average of like 25 videos a week

The fact that the apology video was an EDITED video speaks volumes. Not only does Linus not understand GN’s criticisms (ethics/rushing inaccurate videos for a bottom line), but this mindset is shared by the writers, the editors, and the performers. Let’s be real, 100% this video was a performance. All this could have…

So, ltt does have 5 or 6 channels. Not to mention exclusives that go up on float plane. I believe they were previously trying to get out something like 14 videos a week, and I don’t think includes the float plane exclusives or clips. Though perhaps not multiple dozens, it’s still quite a lot.

The things reported by Gamers Nexus while serious seemed like mistakes, some bigger than others and definitely need correcting. But the whole situation with Maddison seems fucked up and if true would completely sour my perception of LMG as a company and Linus as a person.

Let’s be clear, Linus was always a smarmy prick...but when you are a relative nobody, that isn’t a big deal. Once he got high on his own products, the cracks started to show. The fact that he is PROUD his shop is anti union and there are NO black on air or behind the scene talent, it solidified everything I needed to…
