~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~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...)~~

Sad story. I hope getting it off your chest has helped, bottling things up is never good.

I've been a fan of the LTT crew for years and watched Linus evolve, or rather, succumb to the pressure he was never able to cope with, change him. The massive responsibility for the business he has created and all those people's jobs obviously weighs heavy on him. He needs to fully step back, be proud of what LTT is, and let experienced management take over. I'm hoping the new CEO will maker the right changes but this drama is very bed timing.

Edit: This place reminds me a bit of the Yogscast dramas with individuals doing things they shouldn't, while also making the place a bit toxic. They seem to have turned that shit around. I hope LTT can do the same.

He needs to be in videos but get out of his managerial position, which won't happen.

He's already recently no longer the CEO, I've unsubscribed and cancelled my floatplane. Waiting to see how this is addressed further but it's not looking good.
