The jist of it was more than anything showing subtle support for GN.

Ah! Thanks! That's good to know.

GN, JTC, and DDTS are the three I watched the most to catch up on tech before building my last PC.

Why is Linus even popular, he's an idiot. It was only the big fella that actually knew things.

I like that dude. He does indeed know everything. Has kind of long hair, works at LTT. Anthony, I think his name is.

Good thing as Linus priorities rushed schedules and inaccuracies to being first in reviewing for recommendations and algorithm.

Been years since i've said they get ♥♥♥♥ wrong.

If you regularly watch or are subbed to any LMG channel I invite you to read both of these and think again. There is a lot of stuff going on about LMG/Linus at the moment, what is being talked about by GN barely scratches the surface.

I don't believe those, sure sounds like the guy lost something but anyone who goes on reddit saying "YOU KILLED MY SON AND WIFE!" is just begging for reddit points and nothing more at that point

i dont want to take a dump on linus but he's just an average dude, and really, an amateur builder.

its really wierd to me how he created a corporation off an amateur youtube pc enthusiast channel but ok, he's charismatic. great.

i do appreciate some of the things he did back in the day, like the various pc tests that he's done, etc.

but for him to try to criticize someone else who has a background in engineering/programming/ or other computer science based education, its like an ant trying to shove an elephant.

this whole 'omg linus isn't actually that good' controversy is ... really not news to me. i mean... he's stayed at the same level in his builds as day one honestly, and its not a mystical thing to be able to plug your pc parts together. i figured there were pros behind him - and we see that there are.

i'm not sure why people were expecting him to be a pro. he's a successful enthusiast, but thats it.

this other allegations, not sure where those are coming from. he better not have been involved in that stuff, but that's his journey.

when? is this new?

what about my calling out linus tech tips? cuz linus is just a face of a brand and it's a whole team of tech journalists who get all the new hardware thrown at them

LTT posted a post on their YT Community page about Madison just now.

And a Tweet...

Linus Tech Tips
@LinusTech
We are taking Madison’s allegations seriously. We are conducting an internal assessment alongside bringing in a third-party investigator to look into the allegations. We are committed to publishing the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise due to this. Thank you for your patience, and please allow us the time necessary to be as thorough as possible in this investigation.

In addition to our existing report systems – both anonymous and otherwise – we've proactively reached out internally today to encourage our team members to report any workplace bullying or harassment they might be experiencing so we can take quick and decisive action.

These allegations do not align with our company's ethics or the values we preach internally. We aim to provide an inclusive work environment where everyone can feel comfortable and, more importantly, safe.

Too little, way too late. It took multiple news articles plus the Gamers Nexus stuff at the same to get the ball rollin' on the issue. That is not how things should be handled under the "Trust me bro" content creator.

Linus should stop being so public now that he hired a CEO, like most of the "apology" video, where he went on a short rant again.

Maybe he should have retired...

:summerfish2023:

he should have, but then it would have been obvious that he was just milking the name...

meanwhile everyone who is loyal thinks he's sitting around approving every decision anyone makes... the most he would do anymore is strongly advise they do something differently... as he has no actual control over the brand anymore.

hilarious you need some radical tech journalist to realise this.

He stopped being CEO last month. Most of this crap (Especially the Madison stuff) happened under his leadership. His video on stepping down from CEO happened at a really odd time, May this year. Around when Madison left.

"I actually tried to steal the $30,000 SSD server for my girlfriend... but someone caught me..."

he literally says "so I bought it back"... so at one point he had just taken a ****** $30,000 piece of hardware for personal use!!!

Normies watch LTT.
Gigachads watch Level1 Techs.

Who cares really, these channels are all mostly paid advertisements anyway.
