This seems to be on Floatplane (?), but has been posted publicly on Discord several times so I’m ok forwarding it here too. From the discussion, they plan to release this on youtube shortly. edit: Now updated with the youtube link. It’s cool that you can change the link after submission on Lemmy!
The only one giving decent controlled responses here was, as I sort of expected, the new CEO. Everyone else I got the fake apology vibe, especially from Yvonne.
Terran has his work cut out for him, and I don’t really blame him for taking 6 weeks to be a fly on the wall (it’s generally good to learn the current process before coming in and making massive changes) but this week has not been good for LMG and we will see if he manages to make something good from this experience.
Especially things like the Madison situation. I could see him being unaware of it until now, but now it’s time to address that as well.
Her starting out by apologizing for linus was a bad look. Linus still spent half his time trying to justify his actions. I really didn’t need to hear from the head of each department when the mistakes are clearly starting at the top. Plus they monitized it, have merch links in the bio, and plugged the store. I get the attempt at humor but plugging a product (ltt store) while you are apologizing for your product (content) is just not tasteful. I just don’t know how much they’ve taken to heart if they have this whole response ready after a day.
The only people I wanted to hear from on this video were the new CEO, to explain the changes going forward, and maybe Linus, to give an explanation for his behavior after the GN video. I had been considering a floatplane sub and was looking forward to the noctua screwdriver, but I won’t be making either purchase now.
