The controversy continues to grow.

What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator.

    I was on the fence regarding wether or not to stay subscribed to his YouTube and floatplane.

    The “apology” video started to push me towards staying on board until HE LITERALLY SHRUGGED before his apology.

    They are talking the talk about doing better, being more accurate, and going over the videos more thoroughly and then they let that COMPLETELY slide? If no one who watched that video ever said “Hey maybe a shrug before your apology might be sending the wrong message?” than there is definitely somethings NG massively wrong at LMG.

    The to top things off this Madison stuff comes out of the woodwork?

    Yeah, I’m done with LMG. l hope that the talented people who work there either get rid of Linus completely or are able to move on to roles in healthier places.

      Genuine question: People pay $5 a month to watch videos from that channel on Floatplane?

        At the time it was worth it for all the exclusives that you would never see on YouTube. Plus my experience was that they served a better video and audio quality than Youtube.

      Same. I’m particularly hoping that Emily goes somewhere else where she can present more technical content. Her videos are clearly more technical than the rest of LTT and she has a particularly calm and pleasant demeanor while explaining things, like a really good teacher.

      She would probably do well elsewhere.
