Other than “this should never have happened” I see this as the best possible outcome.
Now we wait and see I suppose.
Agreed. The upload schedule has been a holy grail within LTT for a long time, and I truly believe it's the root of all of this, yes, even the sexual harassment. Or at least how that harassment was handled so poorly. When do you have time to make good HR policies? Pull people into HR for reprimanding? Have opportunities for others to second guess decisions? Do training? Or heck, even just have less tired and irritable people making in-the-moment stupid decisions?
This uncompromising maximum velocity hurts everyone, and I hope they keep never bring it back to this pace, even after the process improvements they have planned.
My take as well. I hope after their break, they cut things down to have fewer videos with higher quality. We know from what Linus has said openly that they're set with money, so sacrificing some earnings to establish themselves as a channel that can truly be trusted seems like the obvious move.
