I don't even really understand what's going on, but I'm entertained nonetheless (sh.itjust.works)

Narcissist YouTuber, but I repeat myself, has trouble backing down and taking feedback.

Now that there's some drama people are dogpiling with more drama, related to ex employees.

My guess is we're not going to see much more drama from the LTT side. The new CEO is going to go silent running for a while, which is probably their best course of action. Then release of statement that they're going to investigate the exemployee's accusations, but since it's a private matter they can't talk about a publicly. Which again is the most reasonable thing they can do.

In a week they'll start publishing videos again without talking about either event. Maybe in a month they'll be a follow-up on their new processes.

So for the next week everyone's going to brigade against LTT because it's fun to do, and then it will blow over.

The memes though, the memes will be legendary!

don’t forget the Blizzard apology – “We’re sorry you feel upset.”

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

What started as a few friends dicking around together, RT grew to be one of the giants in the YouTube space (probably still is). A lot of the edgy humor that flew with the team and also the fans in the 2010s but generally not accepted now, stayed with them as they grew bigger. There were multiple allegations of sexual harassments, racism, and not to mention the Adam Kovic/Ryan Haywood stuff.

Come to think of it, not much controversy has been popping up from them lately. Maybe it's because I don't really watch their content anymore, or they have actually improved their work culture since then.
