I just saw this morning that LTT on YouTube are doing a live stream to "address the situation". They have their upper management trying to clean up the mess as best they can. It stinks of soulless corporate BS.

I believe they posted their last update video before Madison's Twitter posts.

Honestly they'd benefit from a bit of Soulless Corporate BS at this point. Soulless Corporate BS at least ensures that sexual abuse allegations are taken seriously and there isn't a culture of inappropriate behavior nor language at play

I'm not shocked that they're plagued by cultural issues that have reached their breaking point now. I remember watching some of the first Channel Super Fun videos and thinking "what if someone doesn't want to participate in this? It doesn't look like anyone has a choice" but assumed that it had to be fine

Iono about that one, chief. Soulless Corporate BS is nowhere near a guarantee of ethics. The appearance of structure and organization has only a small correlation to actual organization and structure. I've seen many versions of this. The skeletons in the closet are all the same no matter how brazen or hush-hush you are about them, the real question is are they there, how many, and why. Honestly, Soulless Corporate BS is smoke and mirrors, and a red flag to start off with in itself.
