Last night, at approximately 2AM ET, a former employee, Madison Reeve, posted a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, accusing Linus Media Group of cultivating a toxic work environment and encouraging a work culture that was detrimental to her health as well as sexual harassment directed at her by Linus Media Group employees.

“I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health,” her statement begins. “My work was called ‘dogshit’ I was called ‘incompetent’. When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to ‘put on my big girl pants’ and be ‘more assertive’.”

Reeve went on to accuse the company of barring her from videos after she reported being “grabbed multiple times in the office” and being told to “calm my tits” and “stop being such a bitch.”

    50% of the entire world has lower than average intelligence. If just 1% of those idiots gravitate towards a single person, that’s 40m people.

    I think 90% of his following is in the age range of 12-16. Which might also explain how he made a screwdriver into a “thing.”

      that’s the median which doesn’t always equate the average.

        They’re both usually said to match in this case, though. People criticise IQ but the general idea that intelligence follows a bell curve is less controversial. Height certainly does.

        And IMO “mean” should be used because median fits a lot more of the intuitions about “average”.
