Linus Tech Tips Video was released today, however it isn't a proper apology video, but just an attempt to salvage the PR. Here are some of the cringe moment...
Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.
If it was just that then maybe I could read that. But given most other managers prior tried to shove in some random, totally awkward and out of place plug or joke to lighten the tone, that is not how it was read by me (and that’s not my YouTube video to be clear.).
I can understand that based on the prior segments in the video, it sets the tone and the mood for the segments that come later from the viewer’s perspective as a whole. But at the same time, we should try to treat them individually, as hard as that can be to remember, when judging the people speaking during their turn. Because at the time of filming, each of these separate people were working alone, and giving their own takes in a silo. So though the video as a whole was pretty badly handled in my opinion, that’s a separate judgement aside from how each individual handled their own part. It’s just my opinion that Luke on his own didn’t really do much to be offended by.
I would agree that the responsibility for the tone of the video and whether or not certain “jokes” should have been kept in or not lies with the editors and/or whoever approved the final product.

It’s all contextual.

Thats a fair point. Whoever directed these should has asked or cut out the jokes. Really shows they continually failed to read the room.
