I really want to make a joke about how they could have added an annotation on the video to address it and how it would have taken “$500 of people’s time” but her post was super gross (about the company, not her) and that’s more of a poison pill for a company than the sloppiness IMHO.

I don’t watch LMG content and I have intention of starting to so I don’t have a dog in this fight but I always thought of LMG as “decent content but too over the top and silly for me”, the “decent content” part is in question now and the workplace allegations leave a bad taste in my mouth for sure.

I thought this video was very well done aside from:

  • “I don’t agree with ALL the criticisms” - ok, then expand on that

  • Store plug - read the room, I thought the sponsor joke was ok but then they did it twice and plugged the store.

  • “6 9’s” - didn’t we just talk about filtering for sexual innuendos? Look I don’t give a fuck but, again, read the room

  • Linus’ whole section - it really felt genuine then he came on and came off as a petulant child
