Having worked at quite a few startups that grew to LTT’s size, there are basically two kinds of CEO/COO; those who want to drive the culture, and those who don’t believe in corporate culture.

I feel Linus is of the second brand, and I’ve seen it enough to know that culture emerging in those conditions get out of control and becomes almost impossible to rectify.

Good luck to LMG, but the top is where culture starts.

100% agreed, and can anecdotally confirm.

Honestly, I am not sure the culture issue can be corrected unless Linus is forced to at the very least take a BIIIIIIIG step back from day to day operations… because his (lack of) ethics and leadership are, in my eyes, the proximate cause of pretty much all the weird bad shit that’s coming out about LMG - both the provable and public-sphere ethics and data issues, as well as their internal (and admittedly less easily provable, though still extremely concerning) HR/cultural problems.
