    Imo none of this is even remotely news to me, one of LTTs most popular videos is that “I’ve never been this angry at someone and fired them before” where he had taken some new guy to go to his house and install a bunch of writing and stuff, totally outside any and all expectations of his job, and he’d done a not so stellar job, and it’s like, what did you expect? He’s not an electrician, he was like some sort of video editor or something? And you’re the fucking CEO? How do you think the guy felt? Oh right, you don’t give a single fuck. I don’t know man, that’s giving of some small business owner psychopath vibes.

      Yeah, that one hit me weird also. Like there’s videos of him doing installs and stuff at other employees houses, so maybe that’s just a culture thing, but it’s still weird. Like can you imagine one of the late-night folks making a joke about how the cue card guy screwed up installing his dishwasher, but not meaning it as a joke? Like you don’t screw with peoples livelihood.

      Like if you had a glass instsall company, and some of your employees did a sloppy job on your personal shower door, you might have a talk with them, implement an improvement plan, etc because it affects clients experiences. What you wouldn’t do is put them on blast for views. And that’s only because it’s relevant to their actual work. Last I checked LTT doesn’t offer install services.

    I’m quite amazed that the majority of people here simply take Madison’s allegations seriously and don’t pull the usual misogynistic bullshit.

    So really, it’s not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently ‘proved’ that people can’t do things in an OS that they don’t have experience with, which means they’d be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it’s better.

    I really liked Nexus’s video - though it didn’t help me as I wouldn’t waste time on LTT. I don’t like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don’t give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn’t get sued.

      I just hope Louis Rossman doesn’t snap.

      Please don’t Louis 🥺

      Guy basically just puts out anger content now. He’s a real hero who’s fighting an important fight but he’s just inundated with bullshit and seems is stuck seeing everything through shit colored glasses lately.

        I also hope he will pull out of this phase.

        I even jokingly said to my friend “That’s why New York can act badly.” thinking with all that shit he was feeling better in NYC.

        He accomplished a lot in his life, that is also not easy to accept.

      Generally, I’ve moved to just enjoying people’s work and trying not to blindly admire any public figure. It’s a constant effort since something in our wiring makes us want to follow people we like. But in today’s society I think it’s best to just assume everyone is flawed up front. That eases the feelings of betrayal later when they screw up

    Don’t really give a shit about the water block thing, sounds like drama for the sake of drama. The toxic environment and sexual harassment allegations are pretty serious though.

    People sure love drama. If folks paid as much attention to their own lives and own situation as they do to LTT’s troubles the world would be a better place.
