    I want to preface this topic by saying that I like LMG ,Respect what they do and am a subscriber on floatplane (and do not intend to change that).
    There has been allot of scandals at LMG over couple of  years.
    From the Backpack warranty to beef with so many youtubers (e.g Pokimane)
    What has been causing all these scandals as LMG did not used to have anywhere near as many.
    Is it an issue (witch linus seems to have said about before with him not even wanting the company to be this big) of  Linus not real being in the mind set / best suited to be the CEO a operation worth 10s of Millions of dollars. As he still acts in many cases as if it is much smaller. Is the wan show becoming to dangerous for their brand I don’t know.
     
    What I can say is it a very interesting study into how companies go from the being seen as the nice scrapy underdog to the big souls corporation ( as LTT is beginning to look from the outside) with in sensitive cash Grabs like the trust me bro t-shirt (witch I found really funny but would have not stood for many companies doing).
     
    What do you guys think?
     (please keep it civil)
     
    (Edit) TLDR
    -Ltt should Bring the wan show (as it is one of the main culprits) back to being mainly about news rather then ltt store and merch messages.
    -Linus should listen to Luke more.

    Why are you trying to fill in why support is slow? You don't know them, you don't know the situation. The support team is small, if 1 or 2 people had something going on, leaving them unable to work, this would be a massive hit to their support team. This results in them having to choose, hire temps, or be slower with support. Is that the case? I have no idea, and neither do you.
     
    While I agree that such slow support is not acceptable, I'm also not trying to judge them or assume what's going on. Besides none of this is helpful.

    Aside from all of this, Linus does know your (nick)name, and reading the linked posts, he clearly doesn't care for you. So the question is, do you think these posts are constructive? Do you think they will achieve anything?
     
    You mentioned before that you are here when you are bored etc, and fair game. I just don't understand when you dislike Linus, the company and the work they do so much, why stay here?
    I've left plenty of communities because I no longer liked them, and I'm sure I will get bored of this place at some point again, only dropping in for very specific things.

    It's simple, their business does not match their professionalism.
     
    If you look at their business, you would expect a very professional company, multiple channels, 80 employees, a platform that is supposed to draw in other professionals etc.
    Yet the CEO struggles with people expecting the company to be professional. He wants to run it the way he wants, and if he wants to throw a hissy fit, he will, if he doesn't want to offer warranty, he won't. Of course he gets called out and changes happen, but you can tell he doesn't like it.
     
    Him being real makes him both a great personality, but also a problematic CEO, at least to the public eye.
    So with the backpack, yeah I agree with him on a personal level, their word and willingness to offer good support, is arguably much more important than what is written down. At the same time when you sell 250 dollar backpacks with millions of revenue in weeks, you need to be professional and get your warranty in order. Not because their intentions aren't important, but because your word is worthless if it's changed. And yes he obviously values his word over anything in this world, but the customer wants that in writing when they fork over 250 bucks.
     
    Linus knows how big his company has gotten,  but I don't think he fully realizes that he needs to be professional towards certain stuff. No it doesn't mean everything needs to be filtered, that he has to stop doing the WAN, it means he needs to talk things over with some things. So if things come up whether it be on WAN, forums or else, that effects the company in a fundamental way, he needs to just say: "I'll discuss this internally and let you know", to then proceed to talk with the upper management to see what would make sense. His response then doesn't need to be written by a lawyer, and it doesn't need to be something all of us like, but he does need to think about it and accept feedback.
     
    Personally I don't think a lawyer/PR personr or whatever is gonna helpful in general, obviously with a written warranty you want a lawyer to write that up, but aside from that, he just needs to use common sense and allow room for feedback BEFORE making big decisions.
     
    As for the many other things people complain about, honestly it's irrelevant. By all means feedback is important, so people should give it, even if they ignore it. But complaining constantly about clickbait, or how they make money, or them openly talking about how much money things cost etc, that's honestly fairly pointless. They made their decision, they know the up and down sides of those decisions, and they are fine with their choice.
    It's also very much preference,  because I like them talking about how much things have cost and how their financials are, don't get me wrong, I give 0 shits about how much his pool is, and honestly I don't see why he talks about that, but hey that's up to him. But with the Lab, products etc, it is helpful to understand what they are working on. Whether it's a failure or success, nobody can say that they aren't investing shitloads and taking a big risk, all for hopefully reliable independent content. 
    Doubting what they do is fine, but their openness is afaik to build trust, to show how serious they are.
     
    Probably the most common complaint I see, is about the information in the videos, that it doesn't go in depth enough, that they cater to the average person, and I don't disagree. But that's why people need to understand why investing millions and millions is being done to offer the in depth information, in their videos and outside of it. This is them clearly saying: "we want to offer better information".
     
    Don't agree with how they do it? That's completely fair, but this is how they decided to do it, and it's up to them how they want to do it, and it's up to us whether we want to check out their content.
     
    I think the fact that we are discussing this here, myself included, is both a great strenght of this community, but also quite absurd that we are this involved in a company, especially since there are so many alternatives out there.
     
    So my advice to everyone who posts about this stuff, myself included, is to ask yourself whether this really matters to you, and if it does, try and find out why, and if it's healthy.

    This I agree with, I think a lot of the time Luke seems to be more understanding/empathetic than Linus.
     
    Honestly, there are multiple things that have all accumulated to where it is.
     
    I think there is very much a "can't see the forest through the trees" going on at LMG.  Linus talks about growing the company, and supporting with good wages to the employees.  That of course needs additional revenue to fund that sort of thing, I truly think an issue with that though is that you can only go so far in the "tech" industry.  There is only so much money to go around, so to speak (unless expanding out into merch and stuff).
     
    So eventually it all becomes about hitting the numbers, and making sure to get a higher stream of income to be able to support the current employees and keep expanding.  Which I think is where the forest through the trees comes into play.  While the intentions might be good, I think they have gotten so focused on a specific goals and growth that they have now lost that family touch.
     
    I'm not against merchandise messaging, but I do agree that there is too much talk about it on the WAN show (and broken up in it).  I remember when the WAN show was done in the garage when it seemed like it wasn't about bringing in the money.
     
    For the recent controversies, I think it's a general hubris thing on Linus' part.  I mean he says he didn't handle the Naomi Wu stuff on twitter correctly (the response of "reputation is impeccable" was his cringe twitter response), but in that same WAN show he talks about reputation and knowing what the company is about [this occurred on the same wan show].
     
    At a certain point, using "reputation" as an excuse wears on people.  Sure people might trust him, but the whole "trust me" vibe and then saying if something happens he doesn't want people to have to deal with it...that is a good way to burn off the trust.  In general I don't think the "reputation" is a good way to position yourself when it comes to people asking why something isn't provided.  (e.g. if it was said, we'll have a basic warranty but we have a history of warrantying items that fall outside of the warranty because we trust our products).  It still says the "trust me" but says  trust me that I will go above and beyond what I'm guaranteeing (which is a lot more acceptable).
     
    The trust me bro t-shirt I think is where I really draw the line in terms of this whole LMG thing (and where I won't ever consider purchasing a product ever from LMG unless things change).  He says very few dozen people cancelled the backpack order and uses that as a confirmation.  If I were to have purchased a backpack, I wouldn't have cancelled my order...but that doesn't mean I would purchase things again.  I was seriously willing to dropping money on the screwdriver once it was sold and people gave their feedback, but I'm not going to even consider that now.
     
    The tl;dr I think think it's a mixture of a multiple things getting to big, focus on expanding, and Linus' hubris
