I'm a bit out of the loop (can't catch a breathe while following LTT these days). Are there any details on what's being alleged? All I know about is the apparently very high pressure.

All the drama started from this video

Gamers Nexus then made a video breaking down a bunch of issues with LMG

Linus responded 3 hours after GN posted their video.

The response was rushed and poorly made. Gamers Nexus the next day made a response.

Which made LinusTechTips push out a video addressing some of the concerns and what they are gonna do.

Then, an ex-employee came out, stating many of the issues they had with the company.

LinusTechTips on twitter (or x i guess?) stated they are looking into it.

Philip Defranco summarizes everything within 10 minutes and includes a couple of questions they asked LMG. I thought he did pretty well, so its alot better than spending several hours looking into everything.

They also made an apology video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY (this is not meant to defend them, just to include all info)

To my knowlege these are some of the alleged problems:

Horrible work conditions, overworked and hostile
Improper testing and multiple mistakes on vids and data
Screwed over startup, prototype sold off

Do not take my word for it, I would check out:

I have never watched Linus Tech Talk and have no interest in Youtuber drama but to be clear: "overworked" refers to the person who had to send 3 tweets and 3 Tiktoks a day?

They did manage to replace her with a team of 4

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but she also mentions that the new people that don't know any better are also being overworked. New to the working force, fresh grads.
