Yeah seems like he has that overboard personality. Everything needs to be max effort, 100% of the time. And it probably got him where he's at, up until recently. But not everyone or everything operates that way. Things eventually break down or have issues, and I think we're starting to see some of that now.

Unfortunately, he went from a small, buddy buddy business to a now large, corporate business still trying to hang onto the way they used to do things. Kind of like closing a deal with a handshake. Things don't operate like that anymore. People need to be held accountable, documents need to be signed and filed away...

The personality traits that made Linus a very successful YouTuber are probably the exact same personality traits that make him unable to deal with this kind of backlash in a healthy way, or to run a 100-person team for that matter.
