Do you guys have any recommendations for me to switch to? I already subscribed to Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed and JayzTwoCents.

Thanks in advance :)

Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

The foreshadowing in the Linus Roast...

They have approximately now lost over 5000 subscribers which equates to about $25000 per month or $300000 per year in lost revenue.

(OP's comment)

I've been in contact with quite a few LMG employees. Many have given me statements about the abuse and sexual harassment Madison endured while working there.

One of them also gave me a recording of this meeting that was never supposed to be released. This is my proof that I have talked to LMG employees and have sources inside. I post this as verification of that fact.

I cannot out these people or give direct quotes out of fear they will suffer consequences, but I hope they come forward publicly even if it means risking their careers.

I can tell you their accounts match hers. And even go into further detail. One person constantly was mentioned more than others, but she's not naming names so I won't either.

She is telling the truth.

This meeting kinda goes along with how she mentioned her being sexually harassed was regarded as he causing drama.

I have been watching Linus on and off since the NCIX days, but given all the news i've read over the last few days (including the disturbing sexual harassment/workplace culture details), he is breaking my heart, going down I path I cant follow.

Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

Evil Linus meme aside, it's big time damage control at LMG right now: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY

As usually happens with stuff like this, once started, many others will come out of the woodwork and it's already started: https://lemm.ee/post/4433736. Of course we have to take some of these things with a grain of salt. However, if even a tiny bit of what Madison went through is true, this is unbelievably horrible.

I'm sure there will be plenty of LMG/LTT fans that will take this apology and happily move on. I for one will not.

I remember there being a person who spoke out about the working conditions in conjunction with the employee handbook on reddit. Looking back, I wonder if that was Madison.

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live.. Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they've already made the deal on compensation.
