I agree that it's good they're acknowledging the problems but that video felt like an interrogation. So corporate and weird.

In fairness, they would have been absolutely stupid to have not done a 100% prewritten, teleprompted PR riddled pre-written response given the situation. Linus sitting down in front of a camera and just letting his mind do Linus things isn't gonna help anyone lol.

You mean like he did on the forums about three hours after the GN video dropped?

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Bingo!

It definitely helped everyone to see their true color...

Have a link by any chance, or has it been deleted?

Seconding this request.

Possibly screenshots to avoid paying them a visit, but, eh, a link would do, too.

Thanks

Edit: better, GN briefly went through Linus' forum rant here and set some facts straight:

How many takes do you think each of them needed before they all managed to look at the camera while talking, read the script appropriately, and move their head and hands enthusiastically?

How many times do you reckon the team needed to ask linus before he decided to take the whole thing seriously.

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

So likely every scripted apology video basically

Yeah authenticity and honor are fundamental virtues.
