I completely understand why others are unsubbing, but I enjoy the content and want to see how the new CEO ends up handling all of this. Threads like this seem to be inviting everyone to post about how they never liked LTT in the first place, but I wanted to write this down because I'm sure I'm not the only one who actually enjoyed the content and the cool technology and unique solutions they found when building PCs and cooling them.

I mean I don't watch GPU reviews because they are mostly boring anyways. I only watch for the janky videos and pushing the boundaries and building wanly stuff.

The Madison claims need to be taken serious, but it's not like this couldn't be individuals that need to be singled out and kicked out.

So I really don't get the rage

I unsubscribed to show them how seriously I take the issues. If they improve and the investigation succeeds, I will resubscribe. And I did enjoy LTT, which is why I was subscribed.

Cool technology they barely know how to use. The storage server and Linux challenge videos demonstrated that very nicely. These guys are not tech experts.

Yeah I think LTT has done a lot of great stuff and could do some really amazing stuff yet. I enjoy the content and have supported them, but nobody's perfect. I don't think anything they've done is worth an unfollow at this point, personally, but I understand why some may not agree.

I think Linus has gotten lost in the sauce. It's been apparent that everyone there has been exhausted for a while, and I think Linus hasn't cared for the people working for him as much as his desire for a media empire, which has led to overworking and an unsustainable work environment.

Linus' take on unions was shitty. IDK if a union could ever start there, but it seems like it could really help the company become more sustainable and keep it on course, because it seems like if the employees had their voices heard things might not have got so bad.
