Lol yeh Sync is not behaving well with the amount of images in this post.
In Jerboa it works fine.

Whataboutism in its purest form. The issue at hand is not existent in Jerboa, which was the totality off my statement. You instead flying in, pointing to other issues perceived by you not discussed here in a quest to defend an app not even sold by you is quite transparently nothing else than cheap self-serving discussion-toxic whataboutism crapping on everything which is not your messiah app shat by god himself into proprietary lines of code. Perhaps you should simply go sync yourself.
Yeah, expecting the app not to be randomly crashing, or lack essential features, etc, is just "whataboutism". Sure.
In the context of this thread lagging in sync it surely is.
I feel so much better now, using uBlock and SponsorBlock watching their videos. I knew something was off when Linus started with the Anti-Union talks. Fuck this little bastard.
Yup. Unions are great. Any boss that feel like they have to explain how greatful employees should be and how great their workspace is without the balls to let unions in is delusional.
I get the financial incentives to not let a union in as a boss, but thinking that way is also just admitting that you could be doing a lot better for your staff.
Hopefully you never bought anything / floatplane membership cause Linus has boasted many times (and correctly) that literally any purchase from him would give him more revenue than watching all his youtube videos with ads on.
I was just going to buy some tshirt from him, and I am really glad that I have waited.
If their stuff were more readily available in europe i think I would have already bought a few things. I guess that's not happening anymore lol.
I had heard Linus' anti-union remarks on WAN Show and was slightly weirded out, because I don't believe for a second that a company owner AND manager of a company much smaller than theirs has enough time and resources to really be in touch with what their workers need, even if they have the best intentions.
There once was a WAN Show segment about quiet quitting and his fear that people might do that and it came across as if he was more scared that his employees might do it and thereby "hurt the company" than him being interested in why people feel compelled to only work the minimum amount required. As if he was expecting people to always give him 110%.
Even 90% is enough, that's just reality. If you have people working for you full time, you can't just pay them for their most productive and focused time. There's also socializing with coworkers, taking short breaks and being creative without direct output. It's all part of being a team. A good and healthy team that feels appreciated can take up extra work and make short extra bursts as they become necessary, but that can never be the expected normal.
There was also some WAN Show segment about compensation, free time and the likes that was weird. Maybe it was part of one of the upper two, I don't quite remember. It's a bit fuzzy but I remember that I was a little surprised that they operated on the same scheme of low amount of days off + limited sick days system that many US/North-American companies seem to run on. I get that it's normal in that part of the world, but I still had this idea in my head that they were somehow different. It all felt so quirky, close-knit and best-buddy-like in the videos. That made me think that they were somehow more progressive and worker focused than it turns out after all.
Hearing these allegations is like finding that missing puzzle piece and suddenly it fits into a much bigger picture. I had a lot of respect for Linus and his company and really believed that they were "better". I really like their content, it is super entertaining and of very consistent quality. They are experts at making things accessible and interesting for a broader audience. But they are also running in a giant hamster wheel that is the youtube algorithm and several daily uploads.
Very sad to see how all this could happen. Even worse is how all of this is being handled. They need a proper restructuring because these problems seem to be structural and deep-rooted. I wish Madison all the best!

Alright, time to unsubscribe from their channels. Already started to dislike Linus when he went all Anti-Union and stuff, but this is truly disgusting.
Woah what? I haven't heard about that
He claims "if my staff have to unionize, I've already failed as a boss"
That stuff is so wild to me. Here in Germany you don't just have the unions that represent you as a worker in a general gield of work, but there are also "Betriebsräte" (worker councils) in most large companies that are made up of employees representing the employee's interests in front of the company leadership. They are not HR, because they are not totally aligned with the leadership's interests. They are not unions, because they are more specialized.
From personal experience, working conditions in a company with worker councils or many unionized workers are IMMENSELY better than in companies without such institutions.
Worker's councils are even somewhat in the interest of a company owner, as happy employees and a good working environment are drivers of productivity and are otherwise hard to implement.
Honestly, that's a much larger issue to me than the beef with GN. Forcing the image of a super cool liberal easy company while being as shitty as every other bigger greedy firm. So sad.
LTT is approaching Amazon levels of fucked up
Jesus. That’s me unsubscribing.
What’s this about the OnlyFans though? Why does LTT have OnlyFans?
It was made as an April fools joke. I think only pictures of Linus in LTT underwear.
It seems to me like they are deleting comments on the apology video that mention this at all. There are almost noone to be found, and when I tried clicking this recent one to see it's responses, it gave a 404 error. Someone correct me if that's wrong though. https://i.gifer.com/3OadD.gif
I'm not sure. My comment is still up and it's a really pissed off one. Might be the YT antispam script triggered by words like sex and Onlyfans, which I didn't use in my comment for that exact reason.
I mean, they already fucked up big time. If they now delete comments and it gets out, they're digging their own grave. There's also a lengthy discussion on their official forums which they haven't shut down yet.
I just saw this morning that LTT on YouTube are doing a live stream to "address the situation". They have their upper management trying to clean up the mess as best they can. It stinks of soulless corporate BS.
If the allegations about the sexual topics are true (like managing the OnlyFans account and having to see other people's junk, being told to twerk for a coworker and getting asked about "how she liked to fuck") LTT is in some serious trouble.
No sponsor in their right mind wants to be associated with a bunch of grown men sexually assaulting their female coworkers. If this isn't cleared up totally and publically, LTT will lose a lot of sponsors and this can seriously hurt them.
When the employee handbook leaked a few months ago and this was mostly ignored by Linus except him making a rant about the company not needing unions because they're so great, that was already very suspicious to me. It seemed like just another hustle culture company trying to sweep things under the rug. Well, looks like it was not just a feeling...
