He'd probably have to fire most of the staff. Or at least most of the staff that have been on video.

Since the skeletons are coming out of the closet, in one of their other videos they build a lovely water cooled mattress which is sponsored by the company Eight Sleep. Someone on staff that was arranging the set decided that instead of arranging some of the boxes to say EIGHT and SLEEP, they instead set them up to have EIGHT EIGHT (88), which is a big time white supremacist dog whistle.

I'm trying to catch up on 1500 posts.. Why exactly does not being as good of a reviewer as Gamers Nexus mean that LTT needs to lose sponsors and business?

Keep reading, but the tl;dr is sexual harassment and an abusive work culture

The reviewer part is not as relevant anymore because there's workplace abuse and sexual harassment in the mix now

Just think, if Linus hadn't made that dogshit forum post everything would have blown over by monday.

Amazing how you managed to make up your mind without even bothering to read anything in this thread. There's a lot of damning evidence and corroboration, but don't let that get in the way of supporting your favorite corporation.

Perhaps you should keep on reading and refrain from commenting until you're caught up? That way you'd know at least one other former LMG employee has corroborated the claims Madison Reeve made.

Classy.

Yeah, no. Lack of convictions does not mean innocent. Almost nobody is convicted of sexual harassment/assault or power harassment in the workplace.

Also, you are obviously extremely out of the loop, because Linus is trying to present his company as a place for serious detailed data-driven reviews.

No idea about Dan, but someone posted a screenshot of a tweet by current employee Emily asking their thoughts on the situation, and she basically said "I don't want to prejudice any ongoing investigation but I will continue to speak up and push for change within the company", and Alex gave it a "Like", for whatever that may be worth.

For someone who had no idea what was going on, you're very quick to "reasonably" assume that LTT is completely blameless and Madison is lying despite A) other staff confirming what she said happened and B) Linus holding a company meeting the day after she left about the very subject (and dismissing it as "drama").

"Hi guys, I didn't read the thread completely, but I'm going to ask a question that's clearly biased in Linus and co.'s favor, as well as outright dismiss any sexual harassment allegations made by a former female employee. I didn't read the thread so I don't know that those allegations were already corroborated, and frankly I don't care. I am the reasonable one here. :smuggo:"

Proving that SA happened years after the fact can be nearly impossible, but you know this.



Proving that the first words out of his mouth about the allegations were a lie is going to be trivially easy. It's about the most damning sentence he could have written. HR was his wife. It would have been nearly impossible for him not to have known. Why wasn't a 3rd party HR called in THEN?

If I can't believe the first sentence of what he said happened, how am I supposed to believe anything else?

also that leaked harassment meeting took place the day after Madison left. he knew why. he held the meeting.
