At least, some of the recent controversies.

What do we do now?

Just shut the company down. LMG peaked years ago, and went downhill from there. And even back then it was worst amongst the big tech channels.

Lol.

You can just not watch their videos. That’s always been allowed.

You don’t have to be that drastic. Sure, I’m done watching their videos but if they truly want to keep their remaining audience, 1. Linus needs to step down from appearing in any vídeos, 2. Put out a statement to both the community and vendors that they are going to do better and list each change being addressed, and 3. Slow down the video release schedule to ensure proper benchmarks and results can be validated and accurately captured.

@Chozo The end of the video:

But Dbrand did offer

… is basically advertisement for the brand, packed into “a joke”. Why would they mention it otherwise?

And the video itself is monetized.

I did, and disagree with you completely. You don’t have to be so pesimistic about life and look for the worst things in it. They wanted to lighten a mood a bit, maybe it didn’t land well for you but It don’t see any ill intentions behind it.

Btw, how would dbrand know they’re making this video? I doubt LMG reached out to them and told them, wouldn’t make any sense.

Decent video until Linus gets on and immediately starts making excuses.

I don’t know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver’s seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.
