Of course it is. But admitting errors and avoiding to make them again is a pretty effective form of damage control, and it is the kind we should want from any company.
The problem is the founder is still a thin-skinned whiny jerk that made it about ‘his poor feelings’ and doubled down.
When everyone else in a video is doing the right thing, and the founder is not, you can bet there’s a huge toxic culture that a dedicated, but peripheral group is trying to work around - and Madison’s tweets show that there’s a hell of a lot more toxicity than just their ethical and editorial failings.
While also monetizing the video and plugging their merch, in direct contrast to GN not monetizing the original video that started this whole thing. Absolutely brutal move there.
GN monetized their follow up video just the same, pure drama for clicks about a total non issue. But Internet loves this shit. That GN likes to put huge focus on not monetizing and playing “holier than thou”-card isn’t exactly a good look either.

GN’s follow up video is actually their normally scheduled news vid that happens to address Linus’ poor reaction.
