    I think Madison’s post happened after the video itself was planned, recorded, etc, so it’s understandable why that’s not addressed. But Linus really has to address what she’s said on the forums ASAP at least, because there’s a lot of damning claims towards his company from her. Like seriously, wtf Linus?

      Also, they should stop deleting all mentionings of the Madison thing on the apology video as they doing are now, makes it all seem very disingenuous and fake.

        Can confirm. They appear to be doing it manually, so lots are still up (for now), but entire threads are being disappeared.

        It should be it’s own topic of discussion. It makes sense why they’re trying to control the comments on that video specifically.

      I really want to make a joke about how they could have added an annotation on the video to address it and how it would have taken “$500 of people’s time” but her post was super gross (about the company, not her) and that’s more of a poison pill for a company than the sloppiness IMHO.

      I don’t watch LMG content and I have intention of starting to so I don’t have a dog in this fight but I always thought of LMG as “decent content but too over the top and silly for me”, the “decent content” part is in question now and the workplace allegations leave a bad taste in my mouth for sure.

      I thought this video was very well done aside from:

      • “I don’t agree with ALL the criticisms” - ok, then expand on that

      • Store plug - read the room, I thought the sponsor joke was ok but then they did it twice and plugged the store.

      • “6 9’s” - didn’t we just talk about filtering for sexual innuendos? Look I don’t give a fuck but, again, read the room

      • Linus’ whole section - it really felt genuine then he came on and came off as a petulant child
