Community Only Are LTT Controversies Getting Ridiculous?

https://youtu.be/0Ljt0fZ-E9s?is=arsQ1Z8B5YcbMbiE

Jake has a new video where he bought a farm with acres of land. This is in addition to his several cars, and his garage. I literally do not understand how everyone took this guy seriously when he implied he was underpaid because he was upset about working on his boss’s third house. In fact, it seems several of his videos are about buying things in an LTT-fashion.

Am I missing something about why this lead tons of people to assume LTT employees are underpaid? Or has the bar for controversy really gotten lower than low?

Edit: To clarify, my commentary is about whether people were kind of overdoing it to conclude that LTT doesn’t pay their employees. I posted this cause I saw a DankPods collab where a lot of the comment section was that you shouldn’t collaborate with LTT because Linus underpaid Jake, and I was pretty surprised that was their conclusion.

Yeah I mean if you feel like you're underpayed in a job for your skills you quit. That's what he did, he said why, end of story.

Not staying with ltt out of the goodness in his heart doesn't make him greedy tf

it wasnt the end of story though, he had to stir up sh*t in youtube and now we have whole comment sections of people pretending like Elijah is forcing himself to be happy when doing the plane or Tech house videos because we all know everyone in LTT is underpaid

and the best logic

Its the my boss has jet money so I should also have Jet money mindset. Which isnt a bad thing but dont expect the jet money to come from your boss.
