The Tech-Tuber-Sphere has imploded over the past couple of days with Linus Sebastian's Linus Media Group (LMG) announcing a one week pause on all production after a number of errors and poor responses to valid criticism were called out by fellow Tech-Tubers "Gamers Nexus". Their apology video is a 20 minute long paint-by-corporate-numbers saga led by a new CEO who's just 6 weeks into the role & wondering what the hell he's just signed up for. In it a meek Linus reiterates he was never qualified to be CEO in the first place and takes responsibility for a ranting forum post when the criticisms first landed. Sadly it doesn't stop there though. Just hours after posting the apology a former employee has taken to X (Twitter) detailing alleged daily abuse, sexual harassment and toxic work conditions they experience whilst at LMG. Sounds like they're going to need a lot longer than a week to sort their shit out over there.
