Wow, I’ve been a fan of linus tech tips for more than 10 years now, i can’t believe I’m saying this but i hope he gets ousted from the company for this.
While he is undoubtedly part of it, at least by way of enabling scummy individuals, Linus is not the only problem here. The whole premise and work environment at LMG is batshit insane it seems.
I’d say his own snarky attitude and outbursts have created that toxic environment though, and it’s trickled down to the upper management so that they feel they can get away with this shit.
If you’ve watched his videos long enough then you know what he’s like, and none of this is that surprising. You can practically hear Linus’ condescending tone in some of the stuff that Madison’s quoted.
You see staff frequently make excuses for his attitude, saying that he just “cares” a lot about what they’re doing and wants it to be right.
I’m aware which is why i avoided the term ‘fired’. If public sentiment gets severe enough around this he could step down from an executive position for pr reasons, which i know is a big ask, but this is like really bad.

Absolutely agree.
He’s the owner. He won’t.

LMG is getting a new CEO, but I’m pretty sure Linus and Yvonne still have effective control of the company.
