    I think they made the correct call to hire a third-party to investigate this. A lot of things that are happening is LMG not treating themselves like a real company, rather a group of friends with a YouTube channel.

    There’s been a lot of incompetence and mistakes that happened because of the company’s grindset, but they’re not evil. They made some serious fuck-ups, and need to take major action to remedy them. I feel like a lot of people don’t want to see these issues fixed, they just want to pull out the pitchforks.

      Tech news is a saturated field. It’s no great loss if this sack of dicks gets thrown in the river.

        It’s always been a toxic field. Because those that do Tech News are those that aren’t the Tech Do’s and they’re salty as fuck about it.

          That’s why the only tech bro I’ve continuous enjoyed a guy that used to be a sidekick. IIRC his channel is Level1Techs. Just continously wholesome nerding out about stuff he loves. He’s a network engineer by trade, started his youtube career as a sidekick to some charismatic dickbag know-nothing like Linus.
