The captain responded by abruptly pulling back on the control column, followed by increasing thrust to 75% power, instead of lowering the nose and applying full power, which was the proper stall-recovery technique.

Why would people rich enough to own this jet not hire a captain? Do yacht owners drive their own boat? I don't understand this weird mentality of flying around a bunch of friends because it's an airplane

all sorts of rich people fly small aircraft, pilot boats just smaller than motor yachts, and race fast cars - all at considerable personal risk. yolo my brother
Ice builds up, changing the shape of the wing so it can no longer produce lift. The plane goes into a stall, which they can't recover from if the control surfaces are frozen or like in this case the plane nosedives and goes so fast that they can't steer it without ripping off the controls. One of the frames from the crash video appears to show the horizontal stabilizer completely ripped off which means the pilots no longer had control of the plane's attitude and literally could not pull up because the elevators were torn off.
Pilot is supposed to have ice in his veins the whole time even if they crash, so he can think of every possible thing to try. She OTOH started screeching immediately to the ATC guy, and kept screaming the whole time. WTF is the air traffic control guy going to do? And does screeching help the other pilot figure out how to get out of a dive?

Also I'm seeing people online saying don't listen to the ATC audio like it's so horrible. It didn't affect me at all, am I dead inside. I think people should frequently limit test their comfort zone. There are horrors all around us

People shelter themselves from The Truth which is why everyone can seem so bewilderingly positive and optimistic to book-reading intellectuals and other assorted outcasts and Losers.
doesn't mean you're dead inside and i wouldn't expect everyone to be affected but i found it disturbing. it reminds me of that lisa rowe (iirc) thread of the video of the crowd witnessing the Challenger explosion where you see them (mostly family/friends/students of the crew) realize what just happened. it's not gory, you're not hearing/seeing someone dying, but you're witnessing the moment of realization of something terrible.
