  • Put yourself ‘out there’ more. Friends are very unlikely to fall into your lap. Don’t shy away from get togethers that you usually would and you’ll likely find people that you gel with. Work is a good place to make friends and you can branch out from there. Pre-established friend groups are also nice to get in on. Other than that, regular activities are good (gym, classes, volunteering etc) there are nice people everywhere (just avoid the dicks)


  • Your post is the catalyst of me leaving this community. I haven’t really paid all that much attention to the workings of the community but after having a scroll through, echo chamber seems pretty accurate and I’m not going to be a part of it.

    I get that everyone is angry with LMG but honestly, a lot of people need to chill out about the whole thing. I’m not often in the practice of comparative advocating, but seriously… Regarding the the work environment, it is pretty common in this space, the errors are relatively small. Madison’s claims are extremely serious and should be treated as such but it seems like as soon as anything came out, everyone was so quick to brigade against something they enjoyed not 5 minutes before? People are running this business and they are going to make mistakes but that is okay.

    Above all else, LMG, LTT and Linus himself do not owe you anything. I know people don’t like hearing it because they want to feel like they’re getting more from their ‘relationship’ with these YouTube based organisations, but they really don’t. Many people I’ve seen are saying things like ‘we deserve better’ and I’m conscious that actually, you deserve nothing. What they choose to put out is up to them, not you. If you don’t like it, don’t partake.
