This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit...
He has addressed the sponsorship issues in the past, though. Particularly the Framework one. GNs video is definitely in the right here, but I think the backlash is maybe a touch too far. Linus got where he is by being a bit of an egotistical asshole, but he’s not evil. I hope there is a measured response and changes to LTT policies and breakneck speed
I think Linus as a person is one thing and LMG is another thing completely. A good CEO/Leader knows the difference. It’s like being a football player wearing your country’s shirt: in this scenario, what your lifestyle choices are or who you like/dislike have nothing to do with how you play and the country you represent. They have to do with the goal of the team you’re part of. What’s best for the team is paramount, not just what you think is best for you. Also, since he’s no longer the CEO (from what I’ve seen being stated), why is he addressing the criticism head on instead of reporting to the actual CEO who’d would/should be more prepared for doing so? (I have a feeling that it’s the case from watching the GN video but could be wrong that he’s not the CEO, please correct me on this if I’m wrong)
All good points. Yeah he’s not CEO anymore. He should’ve had a PR person handle this instead of conveying his personal feelings in a hastily typed forum post 🤦♂️
