At least, some of the recent controversies.

      They definitely have a default description set. removed about that kind of small detail is pointless when there are plenty of more serious things to talk about.

        How about the multiple merch plugs in the video itself or that the video was monetized, in direct contrast to the original video from GN not being monetized?

          Yeah, people keep making excuses for them.

          “There isn’t enough time, they have to eat and drink and sleep”

          Then delay the video until it’s done. That’s part of the core issues that kicked this whole episode off. Them rushing out videos without care.

            On YouTube, creators don’t earn anything unless a new video is released frequently. They have to sustain a huge corporation based on that. I think that it’s a bad decision to go for that income structure in the first place, but there they are.

              They don’t “have” to do anything. LMG chose to hire dozens and then hundreds of people in an effort to grow as fast as possible. Linus could have prioritized accuracy or quality over quantity, but that would have made less money, so he didn’t.

              They chose to financially put themselves in a situation where they are forced to release content at that frequency because they chose to expand operations and drastically increase expenses compared to other channels. It’s their decisions that created the work cycle that is needed in pursuit of exponential growth over a more financially sustainable model that affords the luxury for a less hectic release schedule.

              It’s getting old seeing people keep making they have to do it this way when it is the situation they created for themselves.
