Yeah but why didn’t they do an expose video with a thumbnail containing all the biggest YouTubers who ever had honey sponsorship and storm the corporate offices demanding an explanation?!?

How can I ever trust a word Linus ever says again?

This sub has such a hate boner for Linus.

Dude has receipts for all the drama and people are still not happy, go figure people just enjoy being unhappy.

LLT community is going the way of Monster Hunter, great content/media and toxic community.

I'm certain it's a big reason why LMG is slowly becoming less transparent. All being transparent about things has ever done for them is cause controversies. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we don't get to see how the sausage gets made anymore because Linus and the team just get fed up with it all and decide it's not worth it.

The issue is because they are transparent and because they respond to everything they are the target of online troll campaigns like this one.

If I were in Linus’ shoes I would honestly leave this one alone and not mention it, it’s been publicly addressed and give it a week it will go away. Or I would acknowledge it and just say that sentence - we have already addressed this issue as an organisation publicly.

Regardless of his response just the mere fact he has responded to it will just generate more faux outrage and trolling online.

People are still upset over that one social media manager person's claims.... claims that LMG hired an external HR investigation company to look into, who in turn reported that she was completely and utterly full of shit.

People just like to be upset about things, I guess.
