She had me at the only fan account. Why the fuck does Linus, a tech creator" need an only fan account? Dude is mentally sick and money hungry. I've always hated his guts for some reason. And now I know why. Never subbed to any of his channels. And when I want to watch something on his channel, I make sure I do so on newpipe

Everyone loved the OnlyFans account. Forcing someone to manage it who said they weren't comfortable is kind of insane.

I'm honestly surprised they kept it around after the april fools thing, I thought they deleted it.

Really shitty of LTT to force Madison to maintain it regardless, allowing her to be on the recieving end of unsolicited sexual material from fans (some aimed at her) that she didn't want to read or see. That's really disgusting actually.

it's sexual harassment, on top of the sexual assault allegations

I have absolutely zero issues with anyone having an OF account, it is the part that she was forced to manage it is the one that got me. Also, I still don't get why a tech channel needs an OF account. If it were a "joke" then it should have been shut down after that "joke" was over. Dude wanted some revenue somehow from that site, too

The OnlyFans account was part of an April Fools joke. They really should've shut it down soon after that though...

He wants money from that, too.
