Basically...
* Linus caught selling someone elses property.
* Linus then lied about how the events transpired.
* Linus then asserts they have made improvements in various policies and procedures and it's the communities fault if they don't notice those improvements.
* Madison (Ex-employee) has accused the Linus media group for bullying/abuse.
* Linus Media Group having a poor track record of accurate data in it's reviews.
Linus media group has gotten far to large... And will often not recognise it's own misconduct or mistakes and will happily shift the blame onto other people, businesses or even the community rather than own and learn from them.
When Linus was a smaller outlet, they were a literal Bastion for PC gamers, putting the consumers interest first, that is no longer the case.
Gamers Nexus however... Does have the consumer interest first, hence their highlighting of the Gigabyte exploding PSU's being pushed by Newegg to hit sales targets, MSI's dodgy practices, nVidia cable quality issues and most recently... Calling out Linus for his bullshittery.
That's not to say Youtube outlets can't or don't make mistakes, far from it, it's the human element at play, but when it's done to hit a KPI, then it becomes an issue.
I think The Linus media group taking a week off from video production to get their house in order will be a good thing, especially as new bigger issues are still coming to light. (I.E. Madison.)
But it's probably a good humbling for a large outlet, interested to see how things go, going forwards.
