build LMG a HR department edit: never mind they've got that sorted

Quality and accuracy absolutely has to be PRIORITY NUMBER 1 for a channel like this otherwise you erode (and possibly lose) any credibility that the very definition of a review site is founded on. LMG is big enough now and certainly produces enough revenue that they can spend a little extra time and money to make their best effort to eliminate mistakes, misleading content and maximize accuracy. If this effort is genuinely being embraced by the group then I look forward to the improved results. Review sites like this are very important for balancing commerce and for consumers and manufacturers both. Best wishes for LMG.

I've been away and catching up with everything. Just wanted to say it's great to see you back and hear about all the changes and improvements you've all worked on. Much respect for shutting down production to review and take action, looking forward to what's next!

Something I’d like to see moving forward is a distinction between labs-approved content and all the other. Maybe something in the title or thumbnail, but a quick way for people to tell whether this has been thoroughly reviewed, or is more focused on entertainment

@@microteam4 it’s still a very valuable and healthy exercise for a team or organisation to take an annual or so break to the normal schedule and spend that time just discussing issues and concerns for leadership to look at. It creates a good feedback loop between leadership and staff and creates an environment where staff feel part of the decision making in the company and creates a more collaborative and happy culture overall. And it doesn’t really hurt production, as they could load up some fun/simpler videos to drop the week they’re out.

Suggestion: as you continuously (hopefully) improve your processes, please keep in mind that "you cannot inspect quality into a product". As a former Quality Assurance Engineer, I would say that your new processes will help to catch errors, and that is great. However, you should also focus on preventing them as much as possible to begin with. Another suggestion would be to start tracking errors and their severity. Thresholds can be set on this data that can proactively indicate the health of your processes and hopefully prevent LMG from "going this far off the rails" again. I would also highly recommend starting a "Lean" culture. The concept of lean manufacturing has been around for a while. You could adapt a lot of those cultural concepts to workplace processes. I particularly like the "2 Second Lean" book. I think you can read it for free. If the LMG teams can focus on process improvement, not "inspections", more time can be spent providing better content without sacrificing quality. Inspections, or content reviews in LMG's case, will probably always be necessary, but LMG should create a culture that can continuously eliminate sources of error. I appreciate the efforts LMG is making to address the issues brought up by the community. I want LMG, and other Tech media organizations, to succeed. I think that Louis Rossman said the following a few time, "the internet does not really have a good or standard way of forgiving an entity after they take action to improve." I want to forgive and trust LMG or any other entity that finds itself similarly lost (hopefully temporarily).

I can say that it is always best when a culture of lean is pushed heavily, consistently, and continuously. I would also recommend you stay away from big lean projects. They are quite tempting because you get a big ROI, but once you finish it, your team, specifically at smaller organizations, will need to get back to their original job in order to stay profitable. I have found that the best way to get that lean culture is to really push staff to work the small things in a "Just Do It" fashion. The employee should be encourages to tackle small things that annoy them the most in a given work week. This has several benefits; it reduces annoyance for those employees thus improving their day to day environment, gives the employee a sense of control and enablement which will make them more likely to organically suggest and make future improvements, and all of this will create more time for employees to work activities that add value which will equate to more profit for the company.

@@PARK60264 never suggested that they should adopt iso9000. Only trying to give suggestions on how to continuously improve. They can take a look at the classical Lean Manufacturing paradigms and adopt some techniques to portions of their business. If done properly for their business, they should free up time for them to put towards creative content. brainstorming. In fact, some of the things the video indicated they are already working on, like the automations for generating the charts in the videos, which have been shown to be a source of error, would improve quality and remove the need for an individual to spend an inordinate amount of time reviewing that data again. This would free up that resource to focus on other activities like coming up with creative video ideas. This is a great example of focusing on error prevention, not detection. In general, I respectfully disagree that companies that operate to ISO9000, AS9100, and the like means that their creativity is inhibited. I work for a company now that has segments certified to both standards, and we are constantly creating many innovative products and solutions. Should LTT adopt Lean methodology to the degree and in the way car manufacturers have? Of course not! They can take the ideas that they believe can adapt to their business.

You think they can't slap a "certified tested" logo on a video and claim it was tested in a lab when it wasn't? How would you know if the sticker in the video was legit or just slapped on there?

And I'm given to understand that Linus has compensated them for it, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have been generously compensated for it by this point, by way of apology. It's over, and there's no reason to assume it's part of some larger nefarious pattern. People love to kick you when you're down, and I think recent events have proven that when it comes to Linus and company.

I stopped part way to say this, but here's something that I'd like to see. Have a "Labs Tested" seal or stamp that appears prominently near the start of labs checked videos, to make sure it is extremely clear which videos they've worked on.

Happy they didn't manage to destroy Linus, and Linus being more serious than ever

Last I heard, LTT had asked Billet to send them an invoice for whatever they valued the prototype at, they were going to pay them whatever that came out to be, and both companies would put this behind them and move on with their businesses. While a lot of people want a re-test, personally that seems like a giant drama magnet. I doubt Billet wants to provide a second sample at this point, anything less than an absolutely golden review I expect would have people in an uproar even if concerns/criticisms are valid, and half the comments on a theoretical retest would probably be trolling and memes.

I just hope that Linus, and the other presenters still give their honest opinions about products. Even if those opinions piss some people off. The improved accuracy stuff is great. I just hope that it's not at the cost of making things boring, or sterile. Keep having fun.

I'm not angry for what GN did, not one bit, but I felt like he could have just handled it better.

I've been watching when there was almost no team, and to go from a small team to such a large business, it's a lot of work. And sometimes it's best to do a refocus and figure things out. I'm excited to see LMG grow and become an industry standard in Tech. And to see such passion for your team, and an almost fatherly protection over your employees from bullying and harassment, shows that you, and management, truly care for everyone's wellbeing, and making focus that Mental Health IS a thing, and must be a part of taking care of your business. Much love to you and the team, I wish more businesses, small and large, in Canada, and the world, took more action like LMG has.

And i have no idea what you're talking about but "tasks outside of work" is normal for literally every *real* job, despite what youtubers and streamers think real jobs are like.

A normal person who actually experienced SA and wanted to speak out would have made the SA the forefront of her grievances, and would have went to the cops without waiting for her former company to experience bad press. She also made claims about being touched inappropriately but never described the kind of touch it was. Too many times when opportunistic people make these kind of claims, they try to be as vague as possible and hope that no one asks for a description of the situation because then they would be forced to disclose that the "inappropriate" touch was nothing more than a tap on the should or someone brushing up against them in a confined space or someone removing a spider from their hair, etc As it stands, her vagueness and her lack of appreciation of how serious SA is, make her seem like a non credible source, which I believe is the same conclusion the external investigator will conclude.

I've been a fan since I met you guys at Computex 2013. It's been one hell of a rollercoaster. I used to watch all of your videos, but as your volume increased, my spare time decreased. I have noticed a slip in quality in the last year or two, and I hope you guys get back on your feet and into some more great content!

A slip? More like a complete vacuum of quality. It's all just been ads or half-assed solutions that doesn't even translate into being funny. Their whole room water cooling solution back in the day was janky as fuck but was funny because it was genuine. The content they've been shelling out the last couple of years have not felt genuine for the most part. That being said, I also hope they get back on track.

May I know what happened re the auctioned item that should be returned to owner?

Linus - good on you and the team for the improvements. I am sure the issues that cropped up in the past weeks have been a real gut punch. And though some of the initial handling of that wasn't ideal, I think you pivoted in the right direction in the end. I know you will learn and grow from this and we can all benefit from better content in the future. Thank you for all that you do - your videos are always the highlight of my week.

The commitment to making thing better for more accurate graphs to better content is amazing. You can only go one step at a time, so keep it up and can't wait the see the new amazing content in the future.

Slow, sustainable growth with clear divisions between entertainment and rigorous product review content - that's what I'm hoping for. Happy you're back and look forward seeing the change x

this is a much better video to follow than the previous one, it feels more naturual and easy to watch, great job Linus

I have followed this channel for some time now. I have learned so many things new It's my reference channel for technology and the channel that I recommend to my friends and co-workers. Continue with the great work and it's good to know that the channel has trace plans to become even better never forgetting the people who work very hard for the success of the Linus Tech Tips. Congrats to all of the members of Linus Tech Tips and sub-channels.

When it comes to businesses, the transparency is something that doesn't happen that much. It's awesome to see that a company is not focused on only getting their message through and moving on but it's unprecedented to commit to transparency and try to do better. My parents thought me that every time you mess up and admit you did wrong, and you try to do better, it's all good. Great to see that those values are strong with you guys. Everybody makes mistakes, and when you strive to be the best and expand, it's inevitable to F things up along the way.

Very strong response and I look forward to seeing videos again in the future! As a fellow Canadian im routing for you guys and know you will come through!

This is a much better response than I honestly expected - I do appreciate the commitment to measures to improve particularly in the area of accuracy, and am glad to look forwards to a new era of LTT as they are put into practice.

I personally don't care much about a lot of the "controversy" as I watched LTT mostly for fun, but sure sometimes for accurate benchmarks. What I DO care about, and I know this will take time to accurately sort out and properly tackle. But Madisons account of employment. That one is very serious and matters a whole lot to me, and hopefully others. I hope this has been exaggerated or misconstrued, but it doesn't look good.

They still have never once addressed it, the fact that Linus had the gall to brag about upping their mental health insurance a mere week after the incident with Madison is fucking gross. LTT is seriously, SERIOUSLY lucky they were already in the process of trying to re-organize the way they do things because all of that seems to have completely drowned out the actual bad things that were happening.

I genuinely don't think there was a better way they could've recovered from this. Complete accountability and genuine change to make sure these mistakes never happen again. Looking forwards to the next upload!

They still haven't addressed all of the major concerns and the last chunk of the video didn't need to be there. Waiting for their CEO to be back, or alternatively depending on why they were off site, better planning around this to have their CEO present would have also been a major improvement and a good showing that they're not still rushing things. We still need to see action. I'm hoping that they will recover from all of this, but it's best not to congratulate them so soon.

I’m so excited to see where this channel goes from here. As bad as last week was for you guys, I think LTT as a whole is going to come back stronger than before. The silver lining here is that you guys got a ton of eyes on your new processes. I’m willing to bet you guys will expand hardcore after this.

I've been watching your channel since the very early days while watching you grow. I'm not going anywhere.

well done, wish you all nothing but the best.

I believe KZread should add an option to update a video like is done in version control, users would see by default the last version of the video, but can link to and comment on previous versions. At the end due to the lack of version control and the possibility to correct mistakes on released content I believe youtube is not the right platform for this project…

@@justanotherperson2960 - There are systems used in big production companies that track on per-second basis, or even more sophisticated ones where the encoding format is leveraged for even better 'version' control. That saves millions in storage. It doesn't even have to be THAT sophisticated, YT is already doing in-time streaming so as long as they allow creators to mark points in video to be replaced by something else it shouldn't be that difficult and shouldn't take a ton of storage if they put some limits on how often and how much of the original video you''re allowed to replace.

It's a nice idea but I don't think there is enough demand for KZread to do it, and if it doesn't make them money then they won't do it. Maybe a nice feature for floatplane but I would assume they are already stretched on developer time.

@Qwertworks

Generally KZread allows you already to replace videos for bigger creators. The problem is the nature of video itself … it takes time to fix it and sometimes is almost impossible without a complete re-shoot. What KZread really needs is some more ways to actually put annotations in videos. Maybe even bake them in idk. So the creator can quickly and effectively comment on mistakes if they are minor enough that the video still stays up.

Doing what needs to be done. Can't wait to see future content. Keep it up.

The ECC if handled appropriately is the answer. If they have autonomy and report to someone who isn’t being pressured then it will work.
