That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Man I feel bad for Madison. She basically got pressured into taking a job in another country and it turns out she gets overworked, groped and shut down for her troubles. That sucks. Triply so because social media manager for a YouTube channel should be a bullshit no effort, no stress job.

A good poster posted:Seeing "£xxxx" in GN's video made me assume it was a lot more than 2000. That's quite probably just the manufacturing cost of that specific sample. I very much doubt it includes all the other costs involved like R&D etc.

They would be in the right to ask for the associated costs, but that would probably reflect poorly on them.

With screw up after screw up, it does shine a new light on Linus’ claim that he rejected $100 million buyout out of principle. Anyone buying this company would have immediately found out about the incompetent internal practices and the potentially endless skeletons in the HR closet.

Linus has been operating under the assumption the company's continued success is his personal achievement but most of it is just youtube selling him well. He got the eyes on him and companies just... gave him money. I get it he worked really hard for it, but so does the nice man with a pizzeria down the street from me.
