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.

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.

TBH, I'm not surprised. Linus stance on unions is really weird... My interest in LTTs videos has anyway declined in the last time, maybe I'll take a break and hope they really change some things.

Props to Madison for speaking out about this!

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...

Talk about psychological harassment. Holy shit.

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

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.

Jesus. That’s me unsubscribing.

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

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

It was an April fools.

Still doesn't justify forcing employes to handle the platform if they can't protect them from being subjected to porn

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.

Linus is just another tyrant boss, surprise

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.

I shed a tear reading this thread.

Really am out of the loop, never heard of these people. If true, I hope everyone associated with this shit goes down.

[-] John_Coomsumer@beehaw.org 31 points 1 year ago

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.
