I mean the monetizing of the video was in pretty poor taste. They plugged they're merchandise multiple times. They joked about the video being sponsored twice. All of which screams, we don't care about what we did just don't take away our money.

The video was still then being defensive.

They never apologized to GN or Hardware Unboxed.

Sex jokes too enlight of sexual harassment and employee mistreatment claims.

They rushed the video out too, it's a culmination of most of the things wrong with lmg. If they had taken their time with this and taken it seriously I would have probably given them points and been very surprised, but this was absolutely bs pr. Totally unapologetic and insincere. Even if they do change anything I don't believe it's because they want it, itll be because they'll be out $$$.

They also need to reconsider they're hr, pretty significant conflict of interest there... then again hr isn't there for employees protection anyway...

You should care, it reaffirms all reasons to unsub.

Didn't realize that was a thing. I'll have to look into that.

You should stay, mercuryuprising should leave if they want to make this a place that doesn't encourage learning or asking questions.
