This is an awful treatment of an employee and I don't know how many more cases like this are still existing at this moment. Fuck LTT, best I can do is step away from them and their content but if there is anything else I can do to get back at them let me know.

The get revenue from clicks and views and merchandise.

So stop watching their content. It's the best thing you can do to get back at them.

After I came forward about being assaulted, Someone accused Linus of inappropriate conduct on twitter.

He came over to my corner and started BERATING HER. Calling her insane, mentally ill, an attention seeker, and just digging into this poor woman who had felt wronged by him.

At least one more woman has received shit treatment from Linus, I believe this problem is endemic.

I wouldn't even be shocked to learn the abuse extended to male employees, either

Yeah, it seems like it's an endemic company culture issue.

Companies are incentivized to exploit their workers after all.
