BEFORE KNOWING ABOUT THE MADISON STUFF if they had removed Linus, the editing mistakes, merch poo poo, and the really poor-taste jokes I would have honestly given the apology vid an A- They addressed basically all of GN's criticisms and my one big knock against it would be that they didn't directly mention or thank Steve for the huge risk he took bringing these issues to light and that they need to be fixed immediately. But Linus's entire awful section, editing mistakes and the terrible merch plugs and jokes bring it to a C- or D for me. But now add in the knowledge about how inhumane and abusive they were to Madison and I don't even grade it, I say get the gently caress out of the classroom and never come back. The most troubling thing of all is how many people in youtube comments, reddit, twitter are doubting Madison's story and calling her crazy as though we didn't just spend the last few years hearing about the many, many accounts of women being terrorized by tech bros at Blizzard, Riot Games etc.

Inept posted:if my boss asked for volunteers to model underwear for the company I worked at I'd be skeezed the gently caress out To play a little devil's advocate there's a lot of people don't even view being seen in their underwear as inherently sexual either since I've heard it described as more or less beach/swim wear so this might just come down to the individual's feelings rather than being objectively right/wrong to open modeling up for enthusiastic volunteers......But then again these are all tech bros running things so lmao gently caress that it's weird!! I even wanted to go out on a limb and say that that both owners modeling in it themselves would prob make me feel more comfortable considering volunteering something like that myself but then I remember they only did that cause he's a cheap gently caress and the whole thing is prob more motivated by cheap gently caress than creepo

Subjunctive posted:Only from engagement by other bluecheck-havers, I believe? Maybe that changed more recently than I last saw. Yeah I was gonna say some goons are extremely whiney & handwringey in an isufferably douchey way about not in-lining tweets in the Elon thread but as far I know yes most if not all actually revenue comes from bluecheck engagement, so engaging with it on the site via QT/replies could push it into more bluecheck feeds for $$$. In-lining it on websites afaik the worst it could do is push a bluecheck account closer to its 5mil impressions per month by a couple hundred (the 5mil/mo which would greenlight them for revenue sharing). But I don't really see an issue in-lining twitter links. But drat some goons are loving annoying about it if you do. Not here though thankfully.

Seems to be a misunderstanding by a few posters that equate him calling the act not rational as a criticism of her when it wasn't, that's all. I think all of us can agree that when an employer stresses you, abuses you, sexually harasses you, gaslights you 1000 miles away from all your family and friends, bullies you into not taking any time off to fill that grindset culture, that is going to tax your mental health to its breaking point where you do whatever the gently caress you gotta do for survivability, which can seem insane to someone not in that situation.

Can anyone find the full statement from this week of Linus denying Madison's accounts "to his recollection" or whatever? Now that there are 3 rock solid accounts*** corroborating that she absolutely was was making those complaints at the time and he 100% knew about it and is caught lying, I just want to read it again so I can get mad *emily young, current lmg staff *colin (??), former lmg staff *leaked vid of the meeting linus talking about a staff departure & harassment protocols (I still can't get over the company policy of "pls take up your sexual harassment grievance with that individual first", I've never heard of that anywhere in my career) beep by grandpa fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Aug 17, 2023 |

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. beep by grandpa fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Aug 17, 2023 |

Weirdly i don't see the CEO (Tennen?) listed,you'd think he'd have taken a photo by now. Maybe he's gotta get thru his probationary period first... beep by grandpa fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Aug 18, 2023 |

Cyrano4747 posted:loving guarantee that the CEO the hired sat down and explained in very small words that this was going to be a loving PR disaster. Totally agree with this. It is 100% the correct move, which means Linus had nothing to do with and probably active fought against it (to quote mr plinkett).
