I'll help ya out since I felt the same way and spent too much time on something I don't really care about, though I do care for the person who was impacted.
They are a tech YouTube channel that tests components for computers and the like.
Basically, a former female employee (can't remember her name) who was the social media manager, made a post of her tenure there, and it was horrible. Sexual harassment, belittled, ridiculous standards for work. At one point she felt she needed to gash herself and go to the ER, just so she can take a day off because she was ridiculed for taking a sick day previously. There is whole shit ton more. I'd link the post but sorry I'm a little lazy rn.
The guy who is "de-friending" this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing.
This was a hyper TL;DR, and I'm missing other things, but that's pretty much the jist of it.
This sounds like you're accusing Steve of something. I've never seen anything anout that. Can you give some context or links?
Who? Na I'm speaking about the Madison girl, and the workplace environment. You can go to the Linus Tech Tips instance and find out more about what's up. It's all over there.

When you say- "The guy who is "de-friending" this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing" it sounds like you're accusing him of the same abuse Linus' Company is being accused of. I don't believe Steve, that's the guys name, has ever been accused of anything like that.
They're saying that Steve's channel covers the same topics as Linus.
That's how I read it, but it could easily be taken either way, which is why they were questioning it.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot.
