Maybe let both sides talk before picking a side? Or I guess you can just unsubscribe like a child.
Lol this fanboy
Fanboy because I'm not reacting like a child before I hear both sides?
Look up super mega.
Matt came with receipts that showed everything he was accused of was a lie.
Great. So the other 5M times women come forward like this can be ignored because one time it was proven otherwise.
1 time? You're ignorant.
You're the abuser enabler.
No, because you've posted SEVENTEEN TIMES today simping for Linus. You keep repeating "wait for both sides" even though Linus already responded directly to the GN piece and his response was GARBAGE, which is the main reason a lot of people are unsubscribing. Madison's problem isn't the only issue, it's just another thing we're throwing onto the pile.
If this was a male employee you wouldn't be arguing this hard with the accusations.
lmao. You seem to be projecting.
What a stupid thing to say. Unsubbing is a mature response.
Waiting for both sides to tell their story is the mature response.
It's a sub. Why are you acting like unsubbing is such a terrible, immature response?
Exactly. OP can easily resub once each side has said their piece and OP feels comfortable that any issues were resolved.
It's also not like YouTube won't recommend you channels that you unsub from. I had to into a 3rd party channel blocker because it kept recommending me AvE even though I very much don't want to see that channel anymore.
Sure, but I can also ignore most of that by just going to my subscriptions page. I don't mind seeing irrelevant videos, I'm just not going to click on them.
We already have their response though? They continue deleting comments that even bring it up. That alone should tell you everything.
Stop licking their boots; there are better tech channels.
Yup. Some favorites:
I've also liked Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, and JayzTwoCents (dropped this hard since it became ridiculous imo), but I haven't watched anything from them in a couple years so I can't really recommend them.
I watch LTT a handful of times per year, and usually it's not really my thing (more hype than content imo).
Thanks for this recommendation! I love SFF pcs.
His production value is fantastic as well. I hope you enjoy. :)
Can confirm that Gamer's Nexus and Optimum Tech are absolutely superb. You can tell those guys are doing it for the love of the game. LTT is vacuous in comparison.
Another I didn't mention is Level1Techs, though they tend to focus more on server hardware and less on weird gaming tech (though they do gaming reviews as well).
But we wont hear llts response to this.. lol
If she had several tweets of bullshit about the company, it might not have been like this 100%.. but ill bet that this is just one out of several people who felt screwed working there
Linus?
Both sides HAVE spoken. The fire was stoked by the shitty LMG response.
I'm confused about your comment. Why assume it's childish to act in a way that distances you of any drama?
Why that us vs. them attitude of name calling someone as childish? How is that any different of the childish behaviour that is being hoisted upon in the first place?
Perhaps that's an indication that a side is already being chosen?
Anyway, don't take my comment in a wrong way. I really have no dog in this fight. I barely know who this Linus guy is. I just dislike seeing people being rude to each other, unneedingly escalating discussions by being unkind.
Exactly. I stopped watching LTT when I felt they produced childish content a few years ago (first it was the clickbait titles, then stupid thumbnails, then annoying ads). So I unsubbed for much less than a sexual harassment case.
Watch other channels, there's plenty of good content out there depending on what you're interested in. I mostly watch Gamer's Nexus and Optimum Tech these days for tech stuff, but there are a few others I watch with some regularity.
