... I suppose the only way to move forward is to see how LMG/LTT responds... Untill then, I've halted all FP subscriptions and unsubbed from all channels. Especially considering the response to GN's piece.

If it's true that all they care about is their bottom line, unsubbing is the best thing you can do.

Sadly Idk how many subs they're gonna lose due to both this and the GN piece. It might not be enough to send a strong enough message.

Halting all payments is the best thing you can do. But subscribe count hasn't really mattered for a long time now. Not a bad thing to unsubscribe but just wanted to point out it's not the best thing you can do.

View count is what matters so simply stop watching, less watchers means less ad revenue

The only response that's appropriate and sufficient is firing everyone who has contributed to this unethical, actively hostile environment including the CEO and Linus himself, and instituting zero tolerance ethics and inclusion policies and an ethics group to stamp this toxic culture into dust. Nothing short of that will have any effect.

Because these problems start and end at the top of the org.

IDK if the new CEO has even been there long enough to have had a major effect on the company culture. Unless I'm very mistaken, Madison quit waaay before he came on the team. Unfortunately, it looks like Linus bears a lot of the responsibility here...

She's been gone since the end of 2021 and Terren has been CEO for about 3 months
