Yeah, but from those videos it's unclear whether that's an act or real. Iirc there have been Reddit AMAs about 'what it's like to work for LTT' and the tone there was always 'It's intense' and 'His YouTube persona is not an act' but never anything really damning. The ex-employees there seemed to respect him, but did see it as a place with a harsh work culture and little space for a personal/family life.

I think the fast growth accelerated some bad tendencies in the culture, and now it's all a complete mess that got away from them. The CEO change in hindsight seems quite ominous, now.
