Linus Tech Tips

I just saw this morning that LTT on YouTube are doing a live stream to "address the situation". They have their upper management trying to clean up the mess as best they can. It stinks of soulless corporate BS.

I know that I'm done watching LTT videos from here on out, but I did go back and look at the video about what it's like to work for Linus and honestly I don't know why I didn't see more of the red flags sooner.

Here if anyone else is interested

Ok I will wait couple of days to see how it continues, but I will most likely unsubscibe from all their channels and stop watching them completely. Which will not be hard. For real reviews I watch Hardware Unboxed and Gamer Nexus. LTT was on my watch list for some funy/interesting video here and there. And even those I watched less and less.

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.

This is fucking awful, I'm actually shocked, and with other leaked testimonies from other former employees I don't think any of this is false. She doesn't have anything to profit from this. I'm glad my adblock has always been on and I use invidious because I would have felt sick knowing I supported these assholes at LTT. Anyways I unsubbed from anything LTT and won't watch any more of their garbage.

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.

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.

LTT is approaching Amazon levels of fucked up

She really should have went to a lawyer. Besides the fact that she was sexually harassed, lied to, and other large issues, an employer cannot just willy nilly change your contract after you already agreed to one. Them changing the contract after moving to that country, losing her visa, and virtually being stranded there is exactly the same strategy that traffickers employ to exploit immigrants into virtual slavery.

oh my god they released a tone-deaf apology video after this thread went up. it's an okay response to the GN stuff but hold the fucking video to address the horrifying allegations.

Linus is just another tyrant boss, surprise

Tech bros being sexist, gropey scumbags

I’m shocked

Talk about psychological harassment. Holy shit.

Yeah LTT just lost me for sure. I'm never watching another one of their videos after this.

Wtf this is really fucked if true.. this week's wan show is gonna be interesting

Hindsight is 2020 and all, but I did always feel like something was a bit off with his demeanor (Linus). First I thought it was just his camera voice/personality, but now I'm thinking it's just him turned up (or down) a notch...

Holy shit, death to LTT

Wow thats fucked. I'm so sorry for Madison because she was originally thrilled to be involved with LTT. They took advantage of her.

Linus will get through this unscathed but it's damning that downright predatory and toxic men still rule the tech industry.

Jesus. That’s me unsubscribing.

What’s this about the OnlyFans though? Why does LTT have OnlyFans?

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.

I swear I tried. I got ten screenshots/links in and then killed myself. I'm posting from the grave. Long live Lemmy. Infinite Twitter screenshot support was my dying wish for the fedi-verse. Bless you.

Fucking roosterteeth all over again. 12 years there as a follower, 9 here. Dropped both forever, now. Never getting my view or my money again.

These tech/YouTube companies need to be fucking stacked union or employee owned businesses for me to give them money at this point. There's no other way I can trust them.

My only remaining sliver of hope is that Luke is not involved, and if he isn't, that floatplane can break off and go their own way.

I shed a tear reading this thread.
