That's a whole lot of excuses and no solutions.

Extremely disappointing.

Succinctly put. Linus doesn’t seem to acknowledge that there’s any problem you’re absolutely right. Seems to be in his own bubble I guess.

We MIGHT get an apology video, or one that serves a similar purpose without an actual apology, he will 100% roll his eyes on the WAN show if this is even brought up at all, and he won't take any responsibility for any of it.

I hate this, I've enjoyed the entertainment aspect of LMG for a long time and seeing blatant mistakes get glossed over with one excuse after another is getting really old. this isn't even the first time or second time this has happened.

The Narcissist’s Prayer (by Dayna Craig)

That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Ring any bells?

I want to believe, but there's still a bit of a lack of transparency, ironically when talking about transparency. He says things like "we're internally working on it" but working on what? I at least want to hear what some even potential interventions could be.

You can really tell that Linus was the "dog ate my homework" from that post. Lots of blaming others.
