She has also confirmed that this Glassdoor review was written by her, with continuing updates on her twitter
Quote from the twitter thread:
I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, “how I liked to fuck”.
I was told that certain issues were “sexual tension” and I should just “take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out”
I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point.
I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called “retarded” I was called a “faggot”
Alright, time to unsubscribe from their channels. Already started to dislike Linus when he went all Anti-Union and stuff, but this is truly disgusting.
I feel so much better now, using uBlock and SponsorBlock watching their videos. I knew something was off when Linus started with the Anti-Union talks. Fuck this little bastard.
Been out of the loop last few weeks but damn, all of a sudden LTT has been getting so much hate lately almost everywhere I look.
As they should.
Linus has come out to be manipulative, extremely thin skinned, and the epicentre of most of what’s wrong with LTT right now.
From rejecting content creators’ pleas to redo shoots due to errors, belittling people for complaints both in the company and out in the community (including product partners), to being a source of the misogyny and maltreatment of women, it’s clear that he himself has lost sight of what LTT was.
I’ve always thought something suss of him since he started becoming a bigger content creator. He just seems off as a person in general. His arrogance bleeds through his stupid face.
I’ve always got bad vibes from LTT. He seemed like he always had a “bigger than you” attitude about everything. The things mentioned here exceeded my already existing opinions about him.
She picked the right moment to come out with this. I mean, keeping this in for 2 whole years while being under the impression that you’re under some NDA, you can only imagine how stressful she must’ve felt.
I feel really sorry for her and I wish her the best. She’s a really cool person.
That’s usually how these things work. People see others speaking out against someone, and that gives them the courage that they’ll be heard.
It also helps that the current news only does to back up her claims and increase the perceived validity.
If the allegations about the sexual topics are true (like managing the OnlyFans account and having to see other people’s junk, being told to twerk for a coworker and getting asked about “how she liked to fuck”) LTT is in some serious trouble.
No sponsor in their right mind wants to be associated with a bunch of grown men sexually assaulting their female coworkers. If this isn’t cleared up totally and publically, LTT will lose a lot of sponsors and this can seriously hurt them.
When the employee handbook leaked a few months ago and this was mostly ignored by Linus except him making a rant about the company not needing unions because they’re so great, that was already very suspicious to me. It seemed like just another hustle culture company trying to sweep things under the rug. Well, looks like it was not just a feeling…

| part of the law.
We’re not in a court of law here. Even then, the standard is “beyond a reasonable doubt”, and that only applies to criminal matters. With civil matters the standard is “the preponderance of evidence.”
Outside of court proceedings, the standard is completely arbitrary and has been since, well, forever.

Yes but the same is true in all of it, innocent until proven guilty is a legal thing not a social thing because it rests on the fact that the case is being tried - if I called you a smelly snail then you went to your mom and said I called you a smelly snail you wouldn’t expect her to say ‘well we have to act like he didn’t until it’s been tried in a court of law…’
This is worse than the Gamer’s Nexus video. The biggest red flag initially wasn’t even the bad testing data, it was how overworked the staff were. Clearly employee wellness is not a priority.
Linus didn’t notice because that’s status quo in modern capitalism.
Still makes Linus a shithead for going right along with horrible practices, but it should go to explain how a lot of it is not conscious malicious intent. Employers exploit people all the time.
This supports the notion that the issues with quality are due to overextended teams. It sounds like yet another workplace where upstairs decisions are made without consulting the people who will actually do the work, and so the rank and file have to constantly scramble to make up for that. I feel like LTT leadership decided a velocity of content to support certain goals rather than what their resources can actually do.
… And it also seems like they have not outgrown the “early joiners can do whatever they want to whomever they want” problem that plagues companies like this.
Honestly, that’s a much larger issue to me than the beef with GN. Forcing the image of a super cool liberal easy company while being as shitty as every other bigger greedy firm. So sad.
Forcing someone to run an onlyfans is fucking insane and should 100% be a lawsuit, that’s disgusting.
There are people that I know that would run an onlyfans for a decent paycheck and not be bothered by it at all. It’s actually pretty easy to find someone who would do that just go into any sex store and offer the cashier above minimum wage and there’s a good chance they would take the job.
I’ve been watching LTT since I was 13, this past few weeks has completely changed my perspective on them in a very negative way and I’m extremely disappointed.
Yeah that’s a super weird one, why did they even have an only fans?
Linus is completely one of the most ruthless capitalists. The pace he makes his staff follow shows that he doesn’t really care about them but the money they generate.
I think it might be more the fact that he is a workaholic and expects everyone else to be. But yeah, I don’t think he is quite as progressive as he thinks he is.
It’s easy to work a lot when you get rewarded for it. Employees are almost never actually rewarded for working harder or more. It’s honestly the most privileged capitalist lie to tell others how their actions help “us” when all they will receive is another paycheck but the capitalist can use the gains to expand their investment or give themselves massive bonuses or wages.
Also easy to work a lot when you decide what your job is, I’ve worked tirelessly this week doing important market research, networking and product development… I sat on YouTube, chatted to friends and day dreamed about things I could do in the future.
If Linus feels like playing with a gaming rig then that’s what he does, good staff don’t have that luxury so it’s a totally different ball game
This is, quite frankly, atrocious.
