Yeah you're correct on the accusations, I should have clarified.
But with that approach it doesn't sound like there is anything an organization could do against false accusations that would absolve them of wrongdoing. I'm all for bashing corrupt/horrible companies, but it feels like there should be at least some presumption of innocence unless there is any kind of proof. Painting all accused with the same brush just leads to devaluing the brush IMO. But like you said, people may (and will) believe what they want, and people are under no obligation to watch or support any creator unless they want to. In my case I just haven't seen any proof of wrongdoing (in this case, gamersnexus controversy was worse IMO).
What do you think a company should do in that situation, assuming it is being falsely accused? What would a "perfect" response be? I cant think of a much better one than what LTT did, given their circumstances, but would love to hear what a better response would look like.
The only thing they could have done better was have the third party release the report. I don't think they released it yet, but they had intended to at one point. Maybe the lawyers told them they shouldn't?
Hm, not sure that would be legal even? Considering it likely contained information on different employees etc. But yeah, if possible it would have been nice to see.
