I hate when people put stories like this out in the form of 15,000 tweets. It’s a pain in the ass to read, just link to a paste bin or blog site or literally anything where I can read it in proper formatting and not broken out into a million tiny pieces

It kept getting updated, assuming it’s completed you could do that.

It would’ve been nicer if it was a twitlonger. However I don’t think that actually works in terms of engagements

The thread is here, for those like me, who have closed and blocked twitter

I don’t watch Linus’ videos that often, and I don’t know the names of the people working for him. But from what is stated on that series of tweets, seems to be straight up harassment / gender discrimination.

Anyway it’s good that it’s surfacing, but I hope that it doesn’t escalate any more as a drama, because it seems like they have a fairly toxic community, and the one that’s always being targeted are the ex-employees.

What is described here is abuse. Plain and simple.

Wow that is fucking awful in it’s entirety. Jesus fucking Christ, seems like just burnout and overwork are not the only issues present there. Goes a lot deeper than that with micromanagement and a “boys club” attitude, gross.

Also thank you for the link, I was so confused where to the rest of the post was.

The way Twatter displays its threads is nonsensical and stupid anyway, just like a lot of other aspects of the platform.

Holy shit, I didn’t expect to see all LTT dirty laundry get aired like this. What started as a review quality drama has snowballed into workplace harassment drama.

Edit: finally finished reading the whole stuff. If even 10% of what she said is true, LMG/LTT is truly fucked up big time. I thought Canadians are supposed to be chill.

Nah, we Canadians can be just as scummy as anyone else.

The way Linus is portrayed here kind of reminds me another guild leader I knew for a while. Charismatic as fuck, could talk out of his ass like he knew his was 100% right even though he was wrong. I climbed the ranks because the other officers were leaving. Eventually I found out why they left so I did too.

Canada has its fair share of assholes, believe me. It’s quite possible to ruin someone’s life without ever being impolite about it.
