MKBHD is getting cancelled over $12/month wallpaper app, ad overload, and excessive permissions

"Linus Tech Tips, which lost a lot of fans following allegations of unethical behavior, inaccuracies, and sexual harassment last year"

Really, did he lose fans?

Yes, he did. And rather than address the problems he dismissed them without any legit response at all. Also deserved to get canceled. Same thing with Mr Beast except that guy is personally a slimy low-life not just the boss of same.

"Now, Marques says he will be addressing these issues; but the pricing isn't going to change."

Why would the price change when there is already a free version of it?

Good job techspot algorithm. Got some ad clicks from a non-story.

Linus hired a CEO to run the company and an outside company HR company to audit them. He made significant changes to the structure of the company and none of the allegations were directed at him, just his other employees. He also shifted to from being mainly a media company to an electronics tool company and clothing brand. Further, he now has an entire "brand" that is for-hire lab where companies can send prototypes in to be tested. He now has over 100 employees with Linus Tech Tips just being something he mainly does for fun.

Just don't buy it. I like Dove for Men soap and lotions, but I'm not going to buy their body deodorant, because that's what the soap and lotion is for.

Really, did he lose fans? How was that measured? Those issues happen in ALL organizations that have multiple staff members - linus cannot monitor every person 24/7. The only reason I dont watch their videos as much anymore is because I am not seeing any content I am interested in.

The allegations of unethical behavior and inaccuracies were against Linus himself, not other staff. And those allegations do not happen in ALL organizations. That a pretty broad indictment to make.

Thanks for the update, Linus.

Ok, fair enough.
