There was more that was going on with LTT than harassment.
Like receiving a loaned prototype that was meant for X card, using it on Y card, saying it was crap cause it didnt fit and didnt work, then selling it at auction.. Then coming out and saying he had been in contact with teh company to make amends and they have accepted it, only for the company to immediately torpedo by stating they've heard nothing from him.
I'd wager things were not going well behind the scenes, either, with the mass exodus of major talent they had over the past year or so, either. Sure people drift in and out of jobs, but for you to have most of your big names all leave in a relatively small window.. That hints at behind the scenes shit maybe not being so bueno.
And theres also the "just trust me bro" warranty on the stupid laptop bag, and him basically going on wan show acting offended and shittalking people who were calling him out for a long history of justifiable criticism against shitty warranties, only to pull the same.. but hes gods special angel, so obviously its different with him and how dare you question his glory.
All in all, Linus just strikes as an insufferable twat.. and sadly it doesnt seem to be fame going to his head either, because he's been an insufferable twat on Camera since the goddamn beginning of LTT (I never saw his NCIX videos, but I would assume he was much better behaved on them, since he was representing someone elses brand and ran the risk of firing if he acted a twat), Especially when it comes to any valid criticism towards him, or his channel, or methodology.
