Linus was joking around on Reddit about the situation at around the same time the apology video was posted

I must be missing something, because Linus's response to the meme seemed like he was acknowledging fault to be, but no one else seems to see it that way
- The way I see it, it's not something that should be joked about, at least not yet. I basically agree with SnazzyLab's take. This is all immensely disappointing, and absolutely needs addressing and fixing. And it will take time. But joking around/laughing about it is in poor taste. Right now, it's time for looking at what's broken and improving it. Imagine someone hits you with their car. They've given you their insurance info, but then they say, "Lol, but that was some pretty sweet driving, wasn't it?" I'm not saying he needs to be apologizing 24/7 on repeat, just that he needs to put some thought into how what he says will be received. Or maybe even just not say anything. There's nothing wrong with saying, "We're going to address this stuff" (which they have a video about) and then quietly working on things.
  
  Joking about the gamers Nexus video. This is from 2 days ago. The new thing is from y-day or today. Context is key.
- k but this is actually really funny.... Wish the captioning was a little bigger.
  Which part is acknowledging fault?
- Yea ngl I think the comment was fine 🤷
- We're in the dog pile phase of the new cycle. It doesn't matter what he does everyone's going to fault him for it right now.
  He wasn't wrong though, Video was kind of funny though subtitles do need to be bigger
  
  Ops joke about not having $10/20/30 to fix it was pretty solid too.
- That's because people are just jumping on the bandwagon.
  
  Interestingly the comment about people jumping on the bandwagon has no replies but downvoted…
