I can assure you, this is not about people wanting to take down the 15M subscriber titan. (though undoubtedly some haters are just jumping on the opportunity, I don't think that's the majority) For many of us fans, we have been seeing this coming for a while, or those who are blindsided feel utterly betrayed after such a long time watching LTT religiously. It's always been possible to ignore the awkward moments in videos or write off the bad behavior as just an "on-screen persona" thing. There's a clear problem with company culture at LTT, and these things usually come out in this way, with victims waiting for the right moment. Presuming innocence on his part means presuming lies on the part of the victims, and that doesn't sit right with me. I wouldn't necessarily take it 100% at face value truth but there's no doubt something majorly wrong going on in that office.

As a fan, I want to see transparency and a healthy working environment behind the videos. Linus' response wasn't just underwhelming, it was a complete betrayal. Even before I knew about the nasty working conditions, the simple back and forth between GN and Linus was enough to put a massive crack in the LTT facade. I didn't need someone to confirm the working conditions were bad, to make an educated guess at how the guy totally unwilling to spend "up to" $500 man-hours more on a video to ensure it's done right probably isn't running a fair system of work.
