I have no longer watched their content since the scandal.

I stopped because they are bro douchebags.

Even Luke, who I always agreed with the most and seemed the most level-headed has talked about their hiring process and said that, if you don't have personal projects, it's highly unlikely that you'll be considered for a position in LTT.

Supposedly it's because that shows a "lack of passion". Personally, I find that rather toxic. Like, dude, I do this for work and I also have a life. I literally do not have enough time to exercise, take care of my loved ones and also maintain personal projects.

Well, don't think their IT positions are competitive when it comes to salaries, compared to major tech companies. Also considering their offices are in Vancouver, you probably aren't going to work their to make bank.

It's a bit of a selection bias out of necessity..

*there

None of the things you mentioned justify having a toxic hiring policy/work culture.
