@suuuoppp: To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items...…
imo this is an extreme reaction when the story has barely matured and we dont know whats true. I feel like the reactions by people at lmg have been decent so far, but time will tell what becomes of it. hopefully for everyones sake they fix their problems like they seem to be on track to doing.
I don’t think the reactions by people at LMG have been decent, but I also think “never” is a bit of a strong word. I’m waiting to see details, and until then, I’m going to believe Madison, especially given the revelations by Gamer’s Nexus about focus on profit (i.e. video quantity) over quality. The culture there just seems to be wrong.
That said, I’d love LMG to prove with actual facts that things aren’t as bad as this article makes it out to be.
Out of curiosity, what do you think LMG should do differently? I think the sponsor jokes are not appropriate but I’m curious what else people have issues with.
That’s a pretty broad question, so I’ll refer you to the Gamer’s Nexus video. It’s kind of long @ 44 min, so here’s a rough summary:
give employees more time to ensure videos are high quality
take down inaccurate videos until the issue is resolved
provide text summaries of highly technical videos, with strikeouts for any corrections so a history of changes is preserved; this helps with referencing them later on platforms like Reddit, Twitch, and Lemmy (i.e. I can quickly quote sections)
And specifically as it relates to Madison’s post, make a serious response that addresses each point, ideally pointing to some internal code of conduct and what processes they follow when similar things happen. If there are gaps, highlight those and explain what exactly is going to change, if anything. Just saying the equivalent of “she’s full of crap, but we’re hiring a third party just in case” isn’t the right approach. Even if the case ends up being nonsense, it at least shows a level of transparency to viewers and employees.
