Philip Defranco's team asked...
"What are your thoughts on members of the community feeling this initial controversy wasn't taken seriously due to jokes about store plugs, kicks to sponsores, and the video addressing the situation being monetized?"
And LMG responded...
"We're LMG. Even when our content is serious, we have elements of fun in it. This has always been our style and we wanted to send a message to our community that just because the suits are talking about workflows and processes, the fun isn't going away."
I get what they were trying for, but it didn't work out at all. This was the ONE time they should've been serious the entire video.

Yeah, it's okay to be like "Yeah, that's our normal style that we go for. In hindsight we should have maintained a more serious tone. "
If they had hindsight they wouldn't be in this mess
