How many times have you done something extreme just for the sake of doing it? Or because you wanted the absolute best price be damned?
 
Whole home water cooling. Water chiller. Mineral oil PC etc etc.
 
If it was the best waterblock money could buy, someone will buy it.
 
You shouldn't have accepted the review if you weren't going to at least commit to doing it right. If you weren't comfortable with the expense of doing it right, then you should have declined.
 
All you did was damage a fledgling companies image.

Calling people delusional is just going to reinforce their belief that this is a hit piece and not something borne out of genuine concern for the community.
 
That said, there's definitely a lot of takes in here where people are acting personally attacked and that's a little out of touch.
 
The video is good natured. The message isn't an attack, it's a concern. And after trust me bro, Steve said point blank he was no longer treating ltt as an individual but the corporation that it is.
 
Corporations don't care about your feelings. Corporations aren't people. Corporations don't get handled with kid gloves.
 
They get publicly discussed, and allowed to make their own decision on how to respond to that discussion.

Employers don't usual call all hands meetings for employees quitting. This confirms there was an issue/complaint. The validity of said complaint is a separate issue. I certainly hope the independent review they are doing doesn't come up squeaky clean, that would be incredibly telling.
 
No one is perfect, and if a third party says you are, it's rehearsed.
 
The results of the review and actions taken as a result will determine whether or not I consume any more ltt content. Full stop.
 
If it comes out that she was in fact pushed so hard and treated so terrible that she self harmed to get a day off, and heads don't roll (as in termination of employment, no literally.) There will be no coming back from it.
 
I was on board with the video released this morning. I already knew Madison left under less than ideal circumstances, but that happens. When I read her commentary, I immediately thought back to all the YouTube comments about her back in the rog rig reboot, and another former employee who's name slips my mind that the community was incredibly thirsty for.
 
I wish for Madison's sake that none of the backlash she is afraid of comes to pass, regardless of what is uncovered.
 
Anyone, and I mean ANYONE in this thread who thinks this is attention seeking, I emplore you, speak to a woman in your life. Mother, sister, friend, significant other. Ask them how these allegations make them feel. How they would feel if that happened to them. What they would do.
 
I guarantee you, the first response is flight, not fight.

I'm sorry but there is a side, and it's your community's side. Built at first by you and slowly but surely has become larger than I'm sure you ever dared hope it would be.
 
And you should feel pride in that, but also disappointment that you've let company values slip in favor of whatever it is you've let them slip for.
 
It's (in my opinion) one of the following:
 
A crushing self imposed expectation to put out more and more content, at the sacrifice of quality.
 
An overly broad vision of what is happening aka not seeing the forest for the trees,
 
Or, money.
 
I don't think it's malicious, but it is a problem.
