Linus Tech Tips
~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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 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.
Jesus. That’s me unsubscribing.
What’s this about the OnlyFans though? Why does LTT have OnlyFans?
It has always been that he is a petty bourgeois shit especially after his take on unionization.
does ~~Anthony~~ (is that still her name?) still work there?
She’s Emily now and we haven’t seen her since she came out on camera.
Given the way the internet acts about trans people, that might be her choice, but given all this new info, who the hell knows?
