I think they made the correct call to hire a third-party to investigate this. A lot of things that are happening is LMG not treating themselves like a real company, rather a group of friends with a YouTube channel.

There's been a lot of incompetence and mistakes that happened because of the company's grindset, but they're not evil. They made some serious fuck-ups, and need to take major action to remedy them. I feel like a lot of people don't want to see these issues fixed, they just want to pull out the pitchforks.

Tech news is a saturated field. It's no great loss if this sack of dicks gets thrown in the river.

It’s always been a toxic field. Because those that do Tech News are those that aren’t the Tech Do’s and they’re salty as fuck about it.
