What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator.

Agree that I was ok with the apology (this was before I read Madison’s tweets). But then Linus came on camera and he was instantly getting emotional and defensive. Immediately any goodwill that had been regained by Yvonne and Terren were wiped clean.
Then I saw the Madison news and unsubscribed.
I hope they recover, if only for the 100+ people who work for them and rely on lmg for income. But if not I wouldn’t personally be upset.
This is the take away that I wish more people would understand.
Linus is (as far as we can tell from the outside) a terrible boss, should not be in charge, and has said/done egregious things.
Some of his staff on the other hand (appear) to be fantastic talent and good people. I don’t want ill to come to them.
Carpool critics (I’ll never call it by the new name) will always be one of my favorite things ever.
I hope they either exorcize LMG of its demons and rebrand or move on to greener pastures. Either way I wish them well.
I would agree with you, but they’re talented people. I don’t think they’d have any issue getting a new job unless they’re one of the creeps or enablers. I don’t want to see LTT come back from this if even just one thing that happened to Madison came to light as undeniable fact.
Like some of the employees were saying how they’re overworked trying to get out video after video is bad enough. People that see that and say it’s ‘hustle and grind’ are delusional. There’s plenty of other channels that can give me the same info LTT provided without the employee abuse. I’ll stick with the GN videos when I’m actually going to purchase components and Paul’s Hardware for tech news for now.
