Alright, time to unsubscribe from their channels. Already started to dislike Linus when he went all Anti-Union and stuff, but this is truly disgusting.
That stuff is so wild to me. Here in Germany you don’t just have the unions that represent you as a worker in a general gield of work, but there are also “Betriebsräte” (worker councils) in most large companies that are made up of employees representing the employee’s interests in front of the company leadership. They are not HR, because they are not totally aligned with the leadership’s interests. They are not unions, because they are more specialized.
From personal experience, working conditions in a company with worker councils or many unionized workers are IMMENSELY better than in companies without such institutions.
Worker’s councils are even somewhat in the interest of a company owner, as happy employees and a good working environment are drivers of productivity and are otherwise hard to implement.

Lol yeh Sync is not behaving well with the amount of images in this post.
If the allegations about the sexual topics are true (like managing the OnlyFans account and having to see other people’s junk, being told to twerk for a coworker and getting asked about “how she liked to fuck”) LTT is in some serious trouble.
No sponsor in their right mind wants to be associated with a bunch of grown men sexually assaulting their female coworkers. If this isn’t cleared up totally and publically, LTT will lose a lot of sponsors and this can seriously hurt them.
When the employee handbook leaked a few months ago and this was mostly ignored by Linus except him making a rant about the company not needing unions because they’re so great, that was already very suspicious to me. It seemed like just another hustle culture company trying to sweep things under the rug. Well, looks like it was not just a feeling…
I just saw this morning that LTT on YouTube are doing a live stream to “address the situation”. They have their upper management trying to clean up the mess as best they can. It stinks of soulless corporate BS.
I believe they posted their last update video before Madison’s Twitter posts.
It seems to me like they are deleting comments on the apology video that mention this at all. There are almost noone to be found, and when I tried clicking this recent one to see it’s responses, it gave a 404 error. Someone correct me if that’s wrong though. https://i.gifer.com/3OadD.gif
I’m not sure. My comment is still up and it’s a really pissed off one. Might be the YT antispam script triggered by words like sex and Onlyfans, which I didn’t use in my comment for that exact reason.
I mean, they already fucked up big time. If they now delete comments and it gets out, they’re digging their own grave. There’s also a lengthy discussion on their official forums which they haven’t shut down yet.
