- jjcon 3y agoI guess this is what they are doing with all YouTube drama revenue they generated earlier this year?
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoThey didn't monetize any of those videos, nor did they include "silly" jokes about their stores thinking it was a good idea, nor did they make "silly" sex jokes.
- jjcon 3y agoI assume they monetized everything after it though (yes obviously they did). You can turn off monetization on a video and still benefit from drama.
- hughesjj 3y agoThey didn't generate anything, but they did capitalize on the self inflicted LMG drama
- smegsicle 3y agoanyone got a tldr of drama?
- ChoGGi 3y agoFrom vague memory; he did something dumb and doubled down on it?
- PaulKeeble 3y agoLMG made a series of videos with significant errors that weren't corrected showing a sloppy work ethic. There seems to be a lot of workplace pressure and overwork. The main issue however was that they auctioned off a prototype GPU waterblock from a small company that had loaned them it to test after agreeing to send it back. LMG completely butcher the review putting it on the wrong GPU model and then slammed the product when it didn't work and GamersNexus reported on it all. In response Linus wrote a horrendous forum post failing to acknowledge they did wrong containing a bunch of statements that within days were determined to be not true. Ultimately they ended up a few days later with all the senior staff in a video explaining how they would fix their culture and they froze making videos for a while. The GN first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc&pp=ygURR2FtZXJzTmV4dXMgTGludXM%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc&pp=ygURR2FtZXJzT... and the follow up on Linus' forum post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3byz3txpso&pp=ygURR2FtZXJzTmV4dXMgTGludXM%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3byz3txpso&pp=ygURR2FtZXJzT... LMG's "apology" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY&t=1s&pp=ygUXbGludXMgdGVjaCB0aXBzIGFwb2xvZ3k%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY&t=1s&pp=ygUXbGlu... There is also a sexual assault claim as well from an ex employee, its not surprisingly now being handled by lawyers and we haven't I think heard of a resolution to that.
- jjcon 3y ago> that had loaned them it to test No they gave it to LMG to test, then asked for it back which is the source of the miscommunication
- pennybanks 3y agohow is that self inflicting? dude made a hour long video intentionally trying to start drama and get views lol. if he sent an email there would be no drama its definitely not self inflicted. but hey i mean drama was the main point. good for him hes good at what he does
- rubatuga 3y agoHope it's not a shitty squarespace website .
- Kuinox 3y agoAs always, they boast a lot how they are good. I heard the message. > The new "5.0" version of the GamersNexus website is now live, ad-free, and function-focused. Here all the trackers that Privacy Badger blocked: googleads.g.doubleclick.net static.doubleclick.net play.google.com www.google.com www.googletagmanager.com fonts.gstatic.com cdn.jsdelivr.net o23210.ingest.sentry.io Edit: oh god, it's a drupal website.
- askonomm 3y agoWhat's wrong with Drupal?
- threeseed 3y agoLast three are not trackers: Google Fonts, JS CDN and Error handling.
- Kuinox 3y agoGoogle Fonts leaks your IP to google, it's also not GDPR complient. JS CDN leaks your IP to a third party, they already have a CDN: cloudflare. Saying sentry.io is just "error handling" is wrong, it's a monitoring suite.
- lagt_t 3y agoAm I the only one that has to scroll down to find the article? Also the navbar has 2 lines at 1366. :/
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoOdd how at 36 points in 2 hours this isn't on the front page and has been bumped down to 2nd page :thinking:
- pennybanks 3y agowhats does that imply to you? im not too knowledgeable on the system but you got me curious lol.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoI was merely expressing that the mods demoted the post.
- sebazzz 3y agoIt is fast indeed, no cookie wall either.
