HNNNNNGG!!
I stopped watching LTT when every other video was "CHECK OUT MY HUGE HOUSE AND ALL OF THE CRAZY EXPENSIVE poo poo I GET TO HAVE FOR ME AND ALL OF MY NUMEROUS KIDS AND CHECK OUT HOW I HAVE AN ENTIRE ARMY OF TECH NERDS TO DO IT ALL FOR ME."

That poo poo gets tiring fast. I'm kinda happy to see the dude get smacked down tbh. :shrug:

drat, I was about to ask about one of the LTT staffers whose name I didn't know, but always struck me as an out loud rear end in a top hat with creepy vibes. Then I see everyone here talking about James, and I look up his photo, and yep, that's the guy I was thinking of!

Twitter is broken for me right now and only seems to want to load tweets from 2022 and earlier (fake edit: possibly because I'm not logged in) so imagine my dismay upon checking this guy out and this tweet was at the top of the page:

Did the only fans page have any sort of monthly fee or paid content? Cause the only fan thing makes no sense to any reasonable person cause literally anybody who would make that page as a joke would just make the page for that day, leave it up a week completely unmonitored for yucks and take it down and that would be it


But then you remember how cheap & greedy linus is so the only reason he would split staff duties to work on it would be if they were prob trying to actually pull revenue from it, which is the dumbest most asinine, inappropriate thing ever on the planet short of blizzard bros stealing womens' breast milk and that one ceo who sent a girl horse porn.

If there was no paid content or sub then I don't loving know man. I don't know.

The meeting recorded was framed as policy for any dispute between employees not specifically SA/harassment. And Linus said that said if they don't feel comfortable doing that, go to HR.

And that's part of the problem with that talking-to he gave. It wasn't directly addressing what happened and trying to fix it. He was just reading the employee handbook to them. If you read/listen to that with the context of what Madison went through, it sounds (and is) way worse.
yup literally reading the handbook where they insist you talk to whoever is causing a hostile environment rather than bother management:


there's a lot of highlights in that book these are a couple of smaller sections that stood out to me:

That’s probably what they want (it always works for Linus to tell people when he’s upset, so it must work for everyone!) but the text you captured does literally say that if someone wants a management “perspective” on an “uncomfortable” situation then they can go talk to a manager.

I’ve seen places (thankfully not as a manager or employee) that had much more explicit policy of requiring a manager to “mediate” between parties to any conflict before taking any other procedural or disciplinary action. They sucked too.

(LOL at forbidding wage discussion in Canada.)

The whole point of the site is to encourage subscriber/creator interaction for commercial gain so telling the admin of the page "just ignore the inbox and the notifications" is not a great solution

That’s how it works in most places that care about seniority, usually with some sort of grace period for which you can “bridge your service”. My wife is about to lose her union seniority because she’s been (voluntarily) seconded into a non-union position (in the same hospital group) for more than 2 years.

Not in a lot of places, including unionized ones. Getting your seniority reset when you got promoted would be pretty unpleasant.
