LMG are some Shady ass motherfuckers. Look at this shit...

Must nice to have all that time to care about YouTuber drama

I've been seeing this news article circling around the internet all day, and I have yet to see anyone mention what the monoblock actually is. It's starting to feel like some kind of mysterious primal artifact, like maybe the master computer from which all flavors of Linux originated.

Wait they sent a 3090 too? Why Linus tried it with a different GPU then?

Maybe I came to the channel late, after it's prime, but I have never seen the value of LTT & affiliates.

The review videos have seemed sub par when cross checking against multiple reviewers.

The entertainment videos felt cringey even when they covered a subject I was interested in (PlayStation dev kits, other obscure tech)

It was a quick unsubscribe when I felt my time was getting wasted.

Mate, you should never think an online influencer/store is on your side. They're not.

Not even Steve from Gamer's Nexus is your friend.

Can you still practice safe exchange with them? Yes, just be informed of your rights.

Edit/addition: Didn't check the link. Thought this was about the last drama.

This addresses new issues, and it's important to solve those issues.

I feel like when Linus was still CEO, he made too many choices too fast, and that's caused the situation LMG is in now.

They have to rush content to get bills paid in time.

An extremely impulsive CEO is never good.

I have seen a ton of LMG videos and it's very obvious that Linus doesn't handle conflict very well and will just immediately dig his heels in if he feels that he is in the right.

Here is the way I see it: Regardless of who is right or wrong, this is a series of unfortunate events that happened. Small mistakes or misjudgments don't always show themselves immediately. However, give it enough time and the floodgates will open and expose everything all at once, for better or for worse. When this happens to people who truly intended no malice, it's a fuck of a thing to deal with and usually gets worse before it gets better.

When all of your mistakes are gathered in one place for everyone to see all at once it can seem much worse than it actually is.

Am I justifying the actions of LMG? Hell no! They need to fix their issues immediately only because they have such a large fan base that listen to their every word.

Regardless, I have sympathy for them.

Linus' fan base allegedly drove a little boy to suicide, and the mother subsequently took her own life as well.

Oh and it seems this is not all of it, an ex-employee came out on twitter about sexual harassment, extremely bad work conditions and so much more.
The timing of it is weird to say at least but there's a lot.

This incident has made me reevaluate some things. I could see this being a one off thing. Like an inventory error or a communication error. But the rebuttal was wild. Cancelled my floatplane subscription for now. Maybe they'll turn it around down the road, but this one was a big mess up.

Damn this is really sad to see for the longest time LMG was one of the few companies I actually liked and trusted

Late to the news but I’m not entirely surprised. As messed up as the situation may seem, I like to remind it’s in everyone’s best interest not to jump on the outrage/cancel train. I do not have any loyalties and find the best way to judge anything is to listen to various outlets prior to constructing my own opinions. LMG f’d up in this instance but that’s not to say that their other content has no value. All these different YouTube channels work in an ecosystem of checks and balances and we need all of them to stick around to provide different perspectives. It is up to the viewers to think for themselves and don’t let the echo chambers of social media cloud your judgement. Whether it’s politics or tech reviews, let’s avoid extremism as nothing is ever black or white.

Checkpoint: have you unsubbed? Unsub LTT now.

There's plenty of good, honest content out there.

I'm not really sure how this situation makes linus a "slimey piece of shit". Incompetent, maybe. Bad at management, sure. Linus probably had no hand in any part until the part where he was told they fucked up. I don't think there was malice in any part of the exchange, just incompetence.

Don't know why, but the image is not loading on my end. Anyone got a link to it on a different platform?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS

I believe you. Not everyone on here will, though.

No idea what any of this means so I found this:
