Linus Tech Tips Video was released today, however it isn't a proper apology video, but just an attempt to salvage the PR. Here are some of the cringe moment...
Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.
It’s about the type of audience they want to attract moving forward. Is it the type that harasses a guy for legally buying a YouTube play button when administrative issues prevented him from getting his own until he committed suicide? Those are a large portion of the people that would have had a big problem with a humorless apology. Having your apology labelled as “generic” is not the worst thing in the world. I’m thinking Linus’s new label as ukulele boy might be worse

Why does there need to be a way for them to win? An apology is the bare minimum. It doesn’t wipe away what they’ve done.
Linus’s forum post made this a no-win scenario for them. They had to bring in half a dozen people to try to clean up after he shit the bed.
