Linus Tech Tips Video was released today, however it isn't a proper apology video, but just an attempt to salvage the PR. Here are some of the cringe moment...
Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.
Didn’t notice, or did¹, and expected it to blow over more or less silently as usual.
1) I can’t imagine a social media company not having automated alerts in place checking their former employees’s social media feeds for keywords (like their company names and acronyms, brands, the names of their management (first, last, both) and various “hot” keywords, such as alleg*, abus*, fired, I quit, etc).
Please make explicit in your comment that the video didn’t come out before the allegations (by 4 and a half hours, include that if you want, I don’t care), or I will remove it. I have too much misinformation to deal with, I can’t leave “vague” statements up.
Removed by mod
Allegations were around 2am and video was around 7am, but considering how often they get data wrong, im not surprised they didn’t notice it.
