Evil Linus meme aside, it’s big time damage control at LMG right now: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY

As usually happens with stuff like this, once started, many others will come out of the woodwork and it’s already started: https://lemm.ee/post/4433736. Of course we have to take some of these things with a grain of salt. However, if even a tiny bit of what Madison went through is true, this is unbelievably horrible.

I’m sure there will be plenty of LMG/LTT fans that will take this apology and happily move on. I for one will not.

    I’m completely out of this loop, but why a tech channel would have a fanbase? I mean, I go there, watch the video about something I’m interested, then move on…

    It’s just a channel which talks about tech stuff for god sake

      When a channel focused on specific topics (i.e. tech) becomes more about the personalities on them rather than the topics themselves, the toxic fanbase follows.

      Because people are irrational.
