I'm not super familiar Dan Harmon stuff. I'm going to assume most of the stuff about that apology was done in private, where things can be properly be talked about. This is a public apology video, so I don't think they can really get in a very nitty gritty details about what went wrong (especially around the Billet Labs prototype being sold). I agree they should have demonstrated some ways they are improving but I do believe the audience is placing blame on the executives and in some ways they are truly responsible but I think this is mostly them covering for a mistake of a lower level employee did at least for the Billet Lab's incident. I just don't think it would have done any good to throw the person who screwed up under the bus since it ain't going to look pretty for any party involved.
I agree them monetizing the video and having the stupid jokes in it was pretty poor planning for them. They realistically should not had Linus in it seeing as its clear the team is really trying to fix his mistake of a post from Monday.
