The thing I don't get is all these random LMG apologists saying "actually here is exactly why it happened and is actually completely okay" despite absolutely no one having a true inside view of the company.

Like I saw someone just randomly guessing really stupid reasons why Madison is in the wrong, and acting like they have secret knowledge.

Yeah but sometimes you have to make up some facts to base your opinions on!

But Steve didn't contact Linus to give him time to prepare an explanation in which he would blame everyone else and say how sad he is! It's just a poor $100M company, they are just humans and they make mistakes. :D

Someone replied to their apology video saying "I'm not entirely convinced that Madison isn't half making this up for attention." Followed by "as someone who works long hours in manual labor" then uses that as a reason the workers shouldn't be complaining about their work schedules.

I'm convinced half of LTT's fans are incels.
