    Sorry, but I didn’t see anything she posted that really has merit in this discussion. It’s from one junior, inexperienced ex-employee, and most of what she said is just normally “unhappy employee” stuff.

    Anything of value that she mentioned is already covered by other sources, most notably the video GN showed with LMG employees and Linus himself saying their pace is too fast.

    Edit: I took the time today to properly read her entire thread and I changed my mind. There’s a lot here that is very concerning and deserving of investigation.

      I’ve pointed out in another comment that most of what she says are indicators of an incredibly toxic working environment, but I’d have to echo the sentiment that a good chunk of it is disgruntled, relatively inexperienced, employee grumbling.

      Props on her for speaking up, though. Nothing changes if the status quo is toxicity and silence.

        For sure! I hope nobody took either of our comments as dismissive of a victim or not believing what she shared.

      Really? You think constant physical/verbal abuse has less merit than some shitty hit job by another YouTuber just looking for clicks because YouTube rewards drama with its algorithms.

      In my world people come before things/reviews.

      Sorry, did you say “their pace is too fast” or “their pace is too grab ass?” I’m having a bit of a hard time coping with excessive amounts of “chill” around this situation so maybe I misread.

      I get that abuse of employees and sexism and sexual harassment and assault toward women in particular are normal but can we not accept this shit as normal? … I write, slowly coming to the realization that clearly most people don’t want to care, don’t see a difference between something that’s dramatic and something that’s “just drama,” can’t bear to let some poor rich boy take any kind of heat, he’s such a nice guy, c’mon bro, just chill, he said he’ll do better, look, he does charity don’t you like charity and 🤮Fuck it, I’m out of here.

        You are correct to call me out on this. I edited my comment to clarify that I’ve now read her whole thread and her complaints are valid. The detail she provided with the frat-bro culture and sexual harassment is entirely unacceptable and I have no reason not to give her the benefit of the doubt.

        Also, to clarify the part you quoted, I was not trying to downplay Madison’s perspective at all. By “anything of value that she mentioned” I was primarily referring to the rushed production schedule, which is what I got mostly from my original read since that is what she focused on first.
