I don't know much about LTT, but companies where you have a preponderance of young white guys, this is invariably the culture. If you're a young white guy, work hard to be sure you're not part of the problem.
Can't wait to watch Linus fumble over the explanation of this one. I'm sure it'll just be a lot of deflection and not-so-subtle victim blaming, but at this point he needs to squirm. Can't pawn it off on "the new CEO."
From the first day I got suggested the guy and blocked his channel I never liked the man. Seemed fake and off. Finding out he’s a total asshole clownboy makes sense.
Not sure if it's been brought up here... But on their newest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY) They don't address this at all. And if you try to bring it up in the comments, they get deleted/purged. Pretty shady to actively go out and censor this. Not a good look for LMG at all.
I've made purchases from their store... I get asked all the time about the screwdriver and backpack. Now I feel like shit for supporting them. Now the conversation will need to have a caveat everytime.. "It's a good product... but the company is a toxic ". And that's just sad.
It is difficult to discern whether this is malice or Linus just being too incompetent, emotionally directed, & aloof to actually run LMG. He should have thought much more carefully before scaling to where they are now.
