I’m out of the loop. What is LTT and who is Madison and what happened?

LTT is Linus Tech Tips, originally a YT channel where Linus and others discussed technology products, particularly pc gaming hardware. They got kinda big, and became a whole tech media company.

Madison was a former employee of the company who alleges that LTT leadership created a hostile work environment for her. Her accusations paint the company as filled with unempathetic tech bros who demand way too much productivity out of staff. Most seriously, there were accusations of sexual harassment by different team members, though not Linus himself that I’m aware of. She has a social media thread where she describes these accusations in detail and depth. If true they are very damning.

In this “apology” video they kinda at least confirm to the crunch times already, which in turn gives the other accusations quite a bit more credibility too.

Eww, tech bros? They probably talked to employees about about moonshots and dogecoin. Gross.

Thanks for the recap.
