Good Lord bro. Imagine having self-awareness. With the Madison stuff also coming to light, they would have already been in the pit regardless, but this 'apology' video is kind of insulting.

Yes I also watched the whole thing and still found it equally as insulting as the highlights.

    My wife and I watched the whole thing, and I’ve frequently watched LTT in the past. We both agreed that the humor wasn’t really well placed, given the situation and came off a bit cringey in my opinion. I know some folks are saying damned if you do, damned if you don’t, which is fair. However I think that if they kept the humor out and it was a “generic apology video” there would be less criticism about it. But again, that’s just my opinion.

    That's just it for me. At this stage there really isn't much more to do than to give a generic apology and the promise to investigate, improve and make up for things. Nobody (should) expect to see any instant consequences.

    The bar is so low and yet they can't even do that. And GN even showed them how it is done in their video. Specifically calling out that this is a matter that should not be monetized.
