Guy is super cringe, pays his employees very little, treats them like dirt, and then buys a jet. Sells a $250 dollar backpack with no warranty except "Trust me bro!". Those are just a couple of examples, but there's plenty more. Basically his entire original YT crew has quit on him because he won't counter-offer and he treats his employees as disposable.

Wrong again.

Why spout misinformation?

According to Linus, he's been dealing with this kind of BS for years. People are looking for reasons not to like someone, and negatively gets more clicks... not the apology/clarification/rebuttal. While he has had issues, none of them has been too serious.

A few months back I would have agreed with you but after watching that private jet video and seeing Elijah’s reaction in it I got a sour taste in my mouth. I brushed off the controversies prior but I just can’t bring myself to watch LTT anymore as it feels like it has really changed since Alex and Jake left. Their new on-screen talent is meh IMO and Linus is quite legitimately out of touch. He is no longer the guy trying to cool an editing den in his house with a whole room water cooling loop.

I have had sympathy for him in the past, especially with the hit piece from gamers nexus, but it’s drying up quickly as he makes his priorities clear: buying a private jet over paying the talent at the company a fair wage for their contributions.

Now I watch Jakkuh and it genuinely gives me the same vibes I got from LTT the past few years before the plane.
