It always sucks to see an old timer go, but yeah, they were not appreciative of that probation. I'm not willing to talk about PMs I've received, but if anyone has any feedback on that probe or the perma (as requested) that followed, my PMs are open.

I kinda think that posting the 'apology' video and then forgetting to de-monetize it when everyone and their mom calls them out on the carpet about it, tells you all you need to know about LTT.

Also, posting videos, then having glaring logical flaws in those same videos, then never admitting to those mistakes even when they're clearly pointed out by others, and leaving the videos in their original inaccurate state forever, like it's kind of some loving gospel, really shows off what a narcissist Linus is.

When he bitched about spending $500 to retest a product, I just thought that was the height of absurdity after how he showed off his spanking brand new groverhaus that he was able to buy using YTbux that his testing videos brought in..

Yeah very true, province wide at least and may appear on the national site even.

Is LTT headquartered in Langley? That's only about a 15 minute drive for me. I can drive past their place shouting "LOG OFF, LINUS" at the building.

It's in that weird limbo between Surrey and Langley, iirc.

Conveniently it's also a 15 minute drive for me, so we can meet up at LTT and shout LOG OFF LINUS then go for a pint! :eng101:

e: Google Maps says 188th and 52nd or thereabouts.

That was refreshingly free from the "both sides are equally valid" school of journalism that a lot of American media follows (not that Canadian broadcasting probably isn't equally as bad for that).

They didn't forget. Update #1 was to hide the value of the prototype water block (closing the gate after the horses have bolted). Update #2 was finally de-monetizing the video.

It's precisely because of their reporting style that chuds loving hate the cbc now (that and the firing of Don Cherry)

I used to live near where longtime CBC anchor Ian Hanomansing lives and would see him at the park with his kids a lot and he's a really personable guy. Said hi the one time and he'd say hi following times etc.. Just a nice dude.

This was hilarious until I realized Linus will eventually do a reaction video the memes from this saga (like that one) unless explicitly kept from doing so, and even then, it might sneak by as a merch question on a future WAN show.

I feel like I ran into him as well at stores from time to time. True he seemed like a very nice chap.

Also ran into Squire Barnes at a 7-11 once, and that dude is even smaller in real life. Like a ventriloquist dummy.

Oh yeah that guy! BTW what happened to Squire? Was he laid off from global a while back or something? I don't really watch global news but my folks loved that guy. I seem to recall that he got axed but maybe I'm thinking of someone else from the BC news.

Global's website still lists him as the Sports Director so maybe he just isn't on camera anymore.

Or maybe he is and I haven't actually watched the news hour at 6 in a decade.
