It is difficult to discern whether this is malice or Linus just being too incompetent, emotionally directed, & aloof to actually run LMG. He should have thought much more carefully before scaling to where they are now.

making her work OnlyFans after she said no clearly is sexual harassment and clearly intentional.

I think it started as an April Fools bit but for some godforsaken reason they decided to keep it and assign one of the only female staff members to work it over her clearly stated objections, where she was subjected to people fantasizing about having sex with her, along with pictures of genitalia.

It was an April's fool day joke. I think they had it up for about a month or so. Nothing explicit was posted.

It's a porn site... It doesn't matter if LMG posted anything themselves... the responses to ANYTHING that LMG posts will be with pornographic materials. Subjecting your workers to moderate that when your business isn't porn is outright neglect.

I saw that in the post. Anyone know why LTT had an OnlyFans?

At some point incompetence becomes a form of malice when not addressed.
