They simply tried to lower the tension. This type of humour is their watermark, they even mention in the video that they are available to make changes but not to take away the goofiness.
Some of you are raging over something innocuous.

I feel like if they hadn't acted like LTT does with the humor and hallmarks, people would have called it a worthless generic apology video.
Now they call it insensitive and all that. I have a feeling there was no winning for them.
Linus's forum post made this a no-win scenario for them. They had to bring in half a dozen people to try to clean up after he shit the bed.

So when Linus cries to camera about YouTube affecting his income that's goofy is it? Imagine defending this abhorrence.

YouTube drama is crazy
Sorry, I'm out of the loop on this one. Would anyone mind elaborating on what happened exactly? Thank you for your time!
Regarding the initial drama, the timeline is as follows:
- GN exposes LTT's sloppy-at-best practices: https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc
- Linus responds emotionally in forum thread: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/?do=findComment&comment=16078641
- GN responds to Linus' response: https://youtu.be/X3byz3txpso
- LTT responds more thoughtfully: https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY
I will not try to summarize these different events, since that risks not covering all of the finer details in the issue.
Then there is also some very recent issue that has been raised about a former employee at LTT that allegedly has been the victim of sexual abuse, and very harsh working conditions, but I'm not fully read up on that yet.
