Nah, you were right. Apparently, I was thinking the same thing when I was thinking about uncanceling because I wanted to gawk at the trainwreck.

He lied about already having a hold of billet labs before steve put out his piece.

The trust is dead for me, he needs to step down and retire or admit he intentionally lied multiple times.

I would feel differently if that post did not exist, but it does.

There is a non-zero chance that Linus wrote, shot the video and began uploading it before anyone actually thought to check the emails and they , but I won't give him the benefit of doubt there. I'm really hoping they're using this break to get their poo poo together, but I won't give them the views to find out.

After the number of lies he got publically caught in last week I'm really not inclined to give him benefit of the doubt anymore.

They had mentioned that their video uploads are done on a schedule, and uploaded a day or two before. Youtube has a "publish on this date and time" feature. If I had to guess, and sure with a bit of benefit of the doubt, they simply had it in the queue and forgot to cancel it going live. Didn't it get published before Maddison started posting on Twitter?

If before, just goes to show more of their sloppy "quantity before quality" attitude further at work. If after, I could see it actually slipping their minds, though gee, if they had actual policies and procedures, it should of been caught.

Doesn't look like a WAN show tonight. Nothing queued up on either Youtube or Floatplane. They have got to be in full disaster recovery mode at this point.

They said that they confirmed that it was a shitpost and that everyone is alive and well. As to whether that's the case, who knows.

The version of the story I heard was that the mother and the kid killed themselves. I don't know if there's any truth to the story one way or another, but even if it is true, I doubt that LTT fans harassing the kid was a significant part of a double suicide. When people commit suicide everyone looks for a "why" and the father is probably just grieving like crazy.

They have a new video up on the float plane according to the Reddit, although that drove a bunch of traffic to the float plane, which crashed the plane.

it touched on process changes, ending the always be uploading commitment

I think its typical to start the Twitch and FP streams before the Youtube stream. That stuff before the YT stream goes live is the "preshow" which I never watched.

Love how it doesn't actually address Madison's situation directly but does some passive aggressive nuh-uh's by saying their surveys say they're actually really good. They also increased the mental health coverage budget... because the community harassed them and that form of harassment is not okay.

So 8 percent of the million dollar lab's videos contained errors so severe that the video warrants being taken down. lol. Money well spent.

Its actually good to see LMG's ability to properly interpret workplace statistics is just as bad as their ability to interpret hardware statistics. At least they're consistent on that front. Stats like average turnover rate over a 10 year period vs the Canadian average as well as average workforce satisfaction are actually dead useless.

Also, Linus' banging on about poo poo like pizza parties and his Summer of Fun is the biggest tell that he's never worked a proper job. I work in a business with 10 people, I get along with most of them, and I can tell you most of us don't want to do poo poo with our co-workers 95% of the time. The 5% of the time we do anything together after work involves alcohol. Which Linus now prohibits because of liability concerns.
