Ever thought that maybe Madison doesn't want her drama forever a part of a video update? Or do you guys just think about yourself and what you want?

I agree that respecting Madison is important, but it's not about what anyone of us wants. It's about the right of LMG to defend their image. LMG, and the associated LTT brand, are publicly famous. When Madison wrote those allegations, she changed the perception of said public with regard to the LMG company and the LTT brand (and by extension, public figures working there, such as Linus, but also other managers). LMG has an absolute right to responding to those allegations, as many times as necessary, so that the public perception isn't only influenced by a twitter thread. And they have, via an FAQ they sent to the subreddit moderation team. So, why not adding a few seconds featuring an exact quote from that statement to the video, to put everyone at ease?
