They simply tried to lower the tension. This type of humour is their watermark, they even mention in the video that they are available to make changes but not to take away the goofiness.

Some of you are raging over something innocuous.

By lower tensions, do you mean deflect and whine about people questioning integrity, especially after countless videos from Linus himself chastising other companies for their poor crisis responses and/or inability to accept full responsibility?

He's a hypocrite, I am not denying that.

Linus Media Group is not Linus, though.

Yes, it is. The company is named after the guy, he's front and center and he is the brand. I'm really not sure what you're trying to say.

I feel like if they hadn't acted like LTT does with the humor and hallmarks, people would have called it a worthless generic apology video.

Now they call it insensitive and all that. I have a feeling there was no winning for them.

So when Linus cries to camera about YouTube affecting his income that's goofy is it? Imagine defending this abhorrence.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't followed LTT channels in years.

I am simply concerned because I believe they couldn't have handled the aftermath better. So I don't understand many reactions I see on the WWW.

They did quite some mistakes, yes. Those mistakes would be enough for me to stop following their content, yes. But why enrage?

So first you thought it was innocuous, now you think they couldn't have handled this better. What's next, are you going to blame the victims?
