Linus is a shit to his workers. This is entirely unsurprising.
This seems to be a problem with techbros in general but he always gave me similar vibes to John Carmack and he's been a shit his entire life.

Holly shit! That was terrible. Would be really disappointed to LTT if this turn out to be true. Maybe I should start calling them Linus Touch Tips (the inappropriate one)
Unsubscribed from the LTT channel now. To be honest, I mainly followed it because I was amused this "tech influencer" borked his PC trying to install Pop_OS.

What strikes me as odd is that no other employee at LMG has come out with allegations of this kind of environment. With the number of staff they have right now and even more people who don't work there anymore, surely someone else would step forward if it was this bad? The crunch and overwork is confirmed of course, but the illegal stuff like sexual harassment and breach of contract seems like it would have multiple people blowing whistles if not filing lawsuits.

Remember. Don't pick a side until both people have spoken.
Pro Jared was cancelled and was innocent.
Gus Johnson was cancelled and was innocent.
Dan from Game grumps was cancelled and was innocent.
Matt and Ryan from super mega were just cancelled and were mostly innocent.
Let's wait before we judge, ya?

I totally dislike Naomi Wu (I have for much longer than I have known of her interaction with Linus), I (still) think she’d do anything for clout
Why, what did she do?

Her verbiage indicates she is self immolating with her disclosures. She would need to be playing a super long con, to be doing this maliciously, imo.

Unless it's legally risky for her (I'm unfamiliar with Canadian law), I really hope she starts dropping names.
Some people really gotta be placed on the chopping block.

Not sure if it's been brought up here... But on their newest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY) They don't address this at all. And if you try to bring it up in the comments, they get deleted/purged. Pretty shady to actively go out and censor this. Not a good look for LMG at all.
I've made purchases from their store... I get asked all the time about the screwdriver and backpack. Now I feel like shit for supporting them. Now the conversation will need to have a caveat everytime.. "It's a good product... but the company is a toxic ". And that's just sad.

It seems to me like they are deleting comments on the apology video that mention this at all. There are almost noone to be found, and when I tried clicking this recent one to see it's responses, it gave a 404 error. Someone correct me if that's wrong though. https://i.gifer.com/3OadD.gif
