  • I just saw that a short while ago.

    LTT also just posted a video, that kinda reinforces what I was saying before. Linus is very emotionally driven and quite obviously blinded by it. I do think people should both be held accountable AND given the opportunity to learn.

    The video was obviously damage control. I still hope something good comes out of all this, but believe it or not I am still pretty cynical about things.

    There is a saying I came across when I was quite young that I try to keep in mind when telling my side of any story:

    “There are three sides to every story. There is what I said happened. There is what they said happened. There is what actually happened.”

    I doubt LTT speaks to Madison’s posts explicitly, but with everything that is happening, I do hope if anyone has experienced something similar that they feel more comfortable and empowered to come forward with their experiences.


  • Yeah that’s not OK.

    I get the impression that Linus is in over his head and reacting in a very emotional way. Kinda reminds me of the channel hack a few months ago, both Yvonne and Luke were literally telling him what was going on and what needed to happen, and his tunnel vision just would not allow him to hear them.

    That’s not an excuse. I think there is/should be a price to be paid. In most things I tend to lean towards rehabilitation with a chance for change, rather than retribution and and destruction. It’s a crap situation and I’m disappointed but not surprised.



  • I’m not sure I would go that far. I largely agree with the GN video, but I would not call Linus a piece of shit. There are a number of things I disagree with Linus about on a fundamental level, but he is still just a slightly awkward nerd with methed up squirrel energy at the end of the day. As Steve notes in the video he is basically responsible for the livelihood of 120 people, I’m sure that puts a little bit of stress on a person. That being said it doesn’t absolve him of what has been happening, and his current path seems deeply misguided.
