New GN response to the forum post. It's standard journalist practice because a journalist is supposed to get both sides of a short before it goes public. I personally think that Steve should have reached out to LMG for comment, but he makes the argument why he didn't.

Did he actually called out for that from appropriate entities, or is that just information that didn't reach GN?

You should, but short version:

I get the impression that Linus genuinely doesn't even know how to abuse people in the way Madison is describing. He is, however, entirely incapable of putting himself in her shoes to realize what the problem is and probably can only offer nonsolutions like "have you tried asking them to stop" because that kind of thing does work for him (since he's the boss and everybody has to do what he says) and he doesn't want to have to have hard conversations.

If you don't clamp down on that kind of behavior as soon as it shows up it will fester as more and more people think "well if he's doing it," and before you know it your company accidentally has a culture of being horribly sexist.

No idea why you think a self-ascribed bully is some blameless flower child that couldn't possibly abuse people

Yeah, that’s partly why that other Goon’s comments about not believing her, is so horrible; a female employee at Blizzard ultimately committed suicide due to the harassment they endured, so ultimately someone saying that Madison’s story couldn’t be believed, because she had harmed herself… Yeah, gently caress off with that poo poo.

Yes sorry that's my hot take. Some soldiers might injure themselves instead of going to the front because 1) they could be killed or be forced to kill in combat, 2) there's literally no legal way out and 3) punishment can court-martial or execution on the spot or having your family punished etc.

Two things can be bad but not necessarily similar or a good example for the other. I hope we can talk about this without immediately going "what do you mean Linus isn't literally worse than Hitler!?"

Nobody said working at LTT was like the trenches at somme, they were using it as an example of how terrible situations might make irrational actions like self harm rational.

When you jump in with "well actually, they wont get shot for deserting linus" that undermines her experiences and actions, and imply that she was irrational, and thus not reliable.

It wasn't a hot take, it was a poo poo take.

I've been following this thread for a few days but I don't remember anything with Noctua.

One of the key points of the GN video was that linus recommended their sponsor and gear partner noctua's products in situations where they based on ltt's own test data didn't work.

Sincerely doubt that, live steam is $$$, you wouldn't convert that. He called it "gas powered", I imagine it was a lawn mover engine type deal.

Going back to the video, it's a model of a diesel locomotive, that thing never had steam

A while back I watched a YouTube clip of an old DC cartoon and it took months to stop having 20% of my recommendations be 3-5 minute clips from animated TV shows.

This is why removing a video from your watch history is at least as important as subscribing and "don't recommend channel".

It feels weird that I haven’t seen anyone mention just turning off your watch history. A couple months back YouTube turned off any and all recommendations because I don’t keep my watch history on, so the default screen when I login to a browser or start the app is a blank nag screen urging me to change the setting… and it’s the best accidental upgrade they’ve pushed my way. I genuinely hated that screen and their recommendations sucked, so to hell with them.

It's because a bunch of posters like the recommendations, OP. Myself included.
