Linus Tech Tips returns with commitment to error checks, transparency, and employee well-being

[MarcusNumb]

After a scandal like this, at least causing them 200k+ subscribers and so on, and no one was fired ? Oh come on, we are not teenagers anymore.
At least if they want to show the public that they are serious, then send a serious message. I unsubcribed them after the "What do we do" video, cause I don't see a serious professional company there. What I saw is a bunch of "teenagers" overwhelmed by a crisis and trying to making excuses instead of taking responsibility. I know they are a entertaining media channel about techs, but if they have declared their intention to be a professional trust worthy tech channel then they are doing it very wrongly.

Personally, I will watch 3 more videos from them after this then I'll decide if I ever subscribe or pay attention to them again.

His behaviour was a disgrace, unhinged rants and arrogance befitting a billionaire CEO like a Musk. He needs to be removed from the company. I will never waste my time with Linus content again.

Linus Sebastian's initial response to the Gamers Nexus video, was appalling. In my humble opinion, he showed his true colors. He acts like a spoiled brat, not a mature, capable leader. I wish LMG nothing but the best, regardless of what I think of Linus Sebastian. Also, if it is true that employees were being harassed, that is a shame. They don't deserve to be targeted like that. The responsibility rests on Linus.

More like a bunch of laissez-faire Canadian hipsters. Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même.Even with errors and mistakes. I trust that Justin Trudeau would agree.

This whole thing has been so overblown.
The internet is riddled with people who love to get indignant, overly emotional and self-righteous about things that really don't concern them at all.

Not if the sexual harassment and overworking claims are/were true. I'd say it's within the right amount of blown.

Unsubscribed long ago, since they went from a tech channel to an entertainment one...

To be fair, it was the only way to grow past a niche market.

I moved on from this channel a LONG time ago. And from the sounds of it, I did the right thing.

I find that quite an annoying trend, the need to tell the world about your subscriptions and unsubscriptions and the like/unlike buttons that you click on web pages.

A bit harsh - as these comments were relevant to this article - same as people complaining in TS articles - about it just fluff or political articles - on one hand - don't read - on other feedback for TS
Also these comments have the benefit of small talk .
Best to be welcoming and have a wide range of commentators - not just AHs like me
