I don’t know if Madison felt safe expressing all her concerns internally, so this might be the first time they realize the extent of the issues.

Holy shit
This is Billet labs all over again, they’ll literally only do something if they’re publicly called out

You should read the thread she posted. Half of it was about management telling her to stop whining when she brought up any of the misconducts against her.

Imagine reporting that someone was being inappropriate with you only to have that person come berate you. That’s levels of fucked up and goes radioactive when it’s your boss.

Possibly not even then. Gamer’s Nexus called them out in that video for several errors involving their testing, methodology, and results and the sheer amount of content being pushed out the door with little to no oversight and no real meaningful attempts to correct themselves to the public, using features that other YouTube channels don’t even have access to, and Linus responded by doubling down on the less important bits while not addressing any of the main points. The accountability, logical and scientifically unbiased testing, and their propensity to post information knowingly that is not true and make weak attempts to “correct” that info after millions of people have viewed the content. There doesn’t seem to be a plan to do anything. Linus and the new CEO have not addressed any changes to be made. They were also called out for essentially double dipping (reviewing products from companies they are actively promoting or have partnerships with while also reviewing those companies competition). That was also never addressed. Linus himself has an objectivity problem and that seems to have filtered down through the entire LMG as a whole.

Yeah, it’s called lack of ethical integrity.
