I didn't understand what the last point about letting go of people was about

The idea is that he must be treating people well or they'd leave.

He doesn't seem to consider that there might be other factors that keep people at LMG compared to industry as a whole.

LTT did not even have the decency to speak GamersNexus' name, and give them respect and apology. This is all I need to know about LMG.

The stuff Madison spoke of regarding workplace abuse is something I can believe and trust blindly, but I still have my reservations on the whole "I cut myself" part, because the internet has taught me that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. GrapheneOS scum dev also claimed early May 2023 that he was attempted to be "swatted", never giving evidence of it and silencing everyone asking for evidence.

Still a lot of vague statements... But I really hope they actually do the stuff they say.

Also nice of him to directly call out abusive community members.

Are there any better youtube channels than LTT. Hes too big now and bigger dramas. I am not learning anything of value these days from his videos.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Think of LTT as top gear for computers. If you want to learn stuff I don't know look at tutorials?

Part of their problem is that they are a bit ambiguous in what they're actually aiming at. If they just went full throttle let's water cool a computer with mountain dew, or in the other end of the scale actually bring in their labs to the forefront of the content that would be fine, but at the moment this kind of weird mix in the middle and it's hard to pin them down on anything, it changes from video to video and without any real indicator to tell you what type of video this is going to be.

Maybe the labs stuff should be split off onto its own channel. That way, people that want that kind of content, and only that kind of content, can go subscribe there. Without having to deal with all the, let's see if I can heat my pool with my giant rich guy server rack stuff.
