    Good point, they can’t change who Linus is. But then I don’t understand why Luke and others would stay there for years and continue working with that guy, continue to take part in unethical behavior. It makes me think that it just didn’t bother them enough.

      It’s cult of personality shit.

      It’s something Madison talked about in her Twitter rant.

      For most of these people it’s their dream job, and they don’t believe they’ll be able to do it on their own. For many of them they tried to do it on their own for years before joining LMG.

      So they’ll do anything to try and hold onto the fantasy. Including destroy themselves and the quality of their work. Which is really why the mental health of the company is in the shitter.

      I mean this honestly: I like many of the team members and I hope that LMG is able to fix itself… But I don’t know if it’s possible.
