Imagine Linus a few weeks ago saying "I'm not paying $500 bucks in staffers to retest this shitty product", to now having to defend some serious abuse allegations.

Wild.

Time for Linus to [sic] "put on his big boy pants" and lawyer up.

ReviewTechUSA is toxic as well. I'm not a hater, but this dude wouldn't be trustworthy in Linus's position either. I say this as a long time viewer of his, I have seen probably hundreds of his videos.

he couldn't even get thru her tweets without out back talk. I cringed so hard when he said "that's on you Madison" about signing the contract like bro you will never know what it's like to uproot your life revoke your visa and live in another country, at best she didn't think she had a choice, at worse they're guilty of coercion.

Holy fuck.

People like that should not be allowed to own or run companies

Seems like Linus recognized this and that's why he hired a new CEO, and so far he has proven to be very professional. Linus has been running LTT like "Me and the boys doing gaming stuff" and failed to achieve the professionalism requires by such a big company.

I've checked the channel and the average views of his recent videos. Now I count about 4 videos about LTT with higher view count. This guy I've never heard of before today, is milking the situation on the expense of LMG and Madison.

I don't understand how @7heo@lemmy.ml can tolerate this video, but not a screwdriver review.
