You’d think Linus would know better than to ask GN for receipts.

He genuinely believes that he's above all of that now, or almost too successful to fail. If the last huge controversy hasn't put a dent into his cult of personality, not too many other things will

I dunno. I haven't watched another episode since I heard that girl's story about sexual harassment and toxic culture while working there.

I had read Madison Reeve's post somewhere but it was in Twitter I think. I can't access it anymore without an account it seems. So here's a couple it articles.

Quote from Madison: I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together. It was genuinely the only way in my mind to take a day off without being harassed for a reason why.

I think I would leave a crappy job way earlier than even considering commiting self harm.
