Linus always came off to me as one of those people who shouldn't be mangement. Idk, just watching him in videos feels frustrating, and he seemed to belittle his employees in a joking/non-joking manner.

Some of the other "techs" do seem to be very knowledgeable, and i feel bad for them to have to work under a man child.

The behavior sets an example among the rest of the staff too, it appears.

Yeah, I saw that in several videos and it made me uncomfortable. He'd say rude things in a way that didn't actually come across like he was joking. If it was just a friend thing, I could maybe understand it, but there was a big power imbalance. Can't imagine what it'd be like to be on the receiving end of how he can act.
