What the fuck!!! This was absolutely enraging to know. Linus is a piece of shit. I can't even comment on one specific thing as worse in the whole thread. Everything is fucked up about how they treated her.

fuck linus media group and fuck that motherfucker pretending to be a nice and friendly guy. How you treat your people behind closed doors is your character not the fake YouTube shit.

He has blatantly obvious "boss" like tendencies. People REALLY need to learn that the "boss" mentality IS NOT a "winner's" mindset. It's just being an asshole that takes advantage of others.

You should see the WAN show because he sometimes let's his true nature out. Even more so recently with the backpack drama and innaccuracies in videos. But there is one tell that he made a while ago, a few years now so it will be hard to find now, but he did mention how he is against "friendly banter being chided". Stuff like that easily snowballs into sexual harassment being brushed off, but since the tech bro audience didn't understand what that means, Linus never considered it a bad thing.

I know it's easy to say in hindsight, but there instances in a few videos where you can see him get legitimately angry with others. Not for long, and any nasty stuff is cut out, but you can tell he has a mean streak. I didn't think it went quite this far, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Nobody becomes a millionaire by being nice.
