Or it's not as simple as you make it out to be.

I wasn't the one oversimplifying it

No benefit to give regarding everything GN pointed out, there's hard proof Linus is scummy af.
The only proof that was shown was that they're incompetent and has made mistakes in their work flow process which leads to mistakes on screen.

It's a far cry from being "Scummy".

So like, are you invested somehow in LMG? Trying to figure out why you love this flavor of leather so much.
LMG is private, nobody has investments in it short of Linus & Yvonne.

If you're going to complain of ethics, GN & all the other tech tubers have their own issues of "Conflicts of Interests" as well.

Name one instance of such with verifiable sources.

I give everybody the benefit of the doubt.
Except for the people accusing LTT of sexual harassment, you threw their word right out the window.

For some reason.

That's a conflict of interest.

I told them to go to the appropriate government officials then, there's a official process to file so you can start criminal investigations. That's why the Police exist.

What a cop out to think you can't have opinions on things that are crimes.

Reeve went on to accuse the company of barring her from videos after she reported being grabbed multiple times in the office and being told to calm my tits and stop being such a bitch.
It felt like a horrible teenage drama movie, she said.
We reached out to Sebastian about these latest accusations, and he responded via email, saying:
I was in a state of shock reading through these allegations, plain and simple. They arent consistent with my recollections. They arent consistent with our internal processes. They arent consistent with our company values.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and inclusive environment. In addition to our existing report systems (both anonymous and otherwise) weve proactively reached out internally today to encourage members of our team to report any workplace bullying or harassment they might be experiencing so we can take quick and decisive action.
Our HR team will be conducting a more thorough assessment of the allegations, and when we are ready, we will release a more complete statement. For now I would ask that we allow our team the time they need be as thorough as possible.

Isn't this what all of them say in these cases?

Regarding the sexual assault/harassment allegations, I imagine it'd be a good idea to not rake either side over the coals until the investigation is complete. Hiring an outside investigation firm was 100% the right move and pending the results of that investigation it's hard for anybody to say if LMG has handled that specific situation well or poorly.

edit:

Of course this being the internet you'll instantly have a group of people immediately side with the woman without question and you'll also have a group of people immediately calling her a lying b. My position on stuff like this is believe women in that accusations demand an investigation and not some internal BS. None of the "We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong" kind of crap.
The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist.
That wasn't an apology. Linus went from saying I have to do better to immediately saying We, We, We, instead of I, I, I. Just your usual nonapology from someone who really isn't remorseful and doesn't really care.

If he actually cared he wouldn't spend a few sentences saying he screwed up, in parentheses no less, and multiple paragraphs blaming other people.

I reembered the appearance and then sudden disappearance of Madison. Always wondered about that. Damn, that's just bad.

No, a conflict of interest would be - just to name a hypothetical example - taking sponsor money from Intel and then having an oopsie with your benchmarks that show its midrange A-series card outperforming a 4090

Anyone want to explain to this dude why so few women going to the police with allegations of sexual assault, and why few of those charges result in charges, and why fewer still result in prosecutions, and how few of those result in convictions?
The only thing I have gotten from this topic is this linus guy really likes kamen rider
