None of this is surprising to me at all. I’ve been seeing hints of a toxic ‘hustle’ mindset in their videos for quite some time and have commented as much on the videos. I’ve worked in environments just like this and once you’ve lived it it’s easy af to spot.

Linus probably says ‘I don’t ask anything of anyone that I don’t expect of myself’ and then goes on to expect someone making 50k to put in as much time and effort as he did when first starting LTT/LMG.

I unsubscribed after that whole warranty fiasco. Because it was obvious then how much of a corporate douchebag he truly was.

And you don’t hire your partner as the head of HR unless you want to make sure nothing “gets out”.
