    I get that this is just a meme, but comparing YouTube drama to the reckless behavior of a multi-billion dollar oil conglomerate causing incalculable amounts of ecological damage feels like a bit of an overreaction.

      Sexual harassment allegations are not “drama”. And anyways, the comparison is in the way they apologize and not the damage they have done.

        Dafuq what did I miss??? I thought the criticism was about data inaccuracy and overworking (which they addressed in the apology video (whatever that means))

      I think it’s only comparing the same impression of a fake apology, only to calm down the crowd.

      It’s actually being compared to a South Park episode that parodies damage control.

      True, there are probably better companies with a toxic work environment, uncompetent managment and rushed products but I can’t think of one rn, well except VW but that’s over the top too.
