That’s all very possible and probable. I don’t lay all the blame on their shoulders but seemingly he was fine with the environment till this all came out. Guess we won’t really ever know for sure since any changes that are made now are only being made because of this shit storm.
The fact he stepped down as the CEO and hired some people with experience in the sector shows he wasn’t very comfortable with the environment and clearly understands he was doing a bad job.
The only thing wrong here is that they should’ve done sooner, but again, hiring trustable people isn’t really that easy. A media company like LMG isn’t a factory.

I’d contend it sounds exactly like a factory sweat shop even if the product they’re producing is for YouTube.
