If you don't give a shit about the LTT situation, skip this thread.
If you have no idea what the LTT situation is, continue touching grass.
If you want to hear our take on the LTT situation, keep reading.
First off, a clarifying point: we did not formally offer to sponsor the LTT apology video. On the evening before the video was published, we reached out to Colton to ask how the team was doing. We've known the LMG crew for over a decade - we asked from a place of genuine concern.
Colton said that the team was working on a response video, clear of any sponsors. While we didn't explicitly offer, we've sponsored countless LTT videos - it was a fair assumption that we might try. Given that context, the joke at the end of their video is one we were fine with.
This all happened on Tuesday around 10:25pm ET, before the severe workplace allegations were published. Candidly, we don't think it's our place to discuss those issues. Terren appears to be taking the matter as seriously as a leader in his position should.
Along with the rest of the public, we await the results of LMG's internal investigation. Once LMG resumes their uploads, you'll likely see some dbrand sponsor spots that were executed before their self-imposed blackout.
Now, if your primary takeaway from recent events is "I want to see Linus stick his hands into a box filled with broken glass," don't worry - we were way ahead of you.
We hope that LMG can use this inflection point to enact positive change. We'll be watching and waiting like everyone else. Thanks for reading and go fuck yourself.
