I honestly don't believe this. I still believe Linus isn't a shill and usually has consumer interests at heart, I think the problem is that he's just pushing too hard and feels like he's in a fight for survival at all times, and I don't know if I can blame him for that, being a YouTuber is harsh. He tries to keep his company afloat to feed all his employees, but sometimes that focus on profit is to the detriment of quality and then fuckups happen. And I think Linus is too tunnel visioned on that profitability aspect to realise that stuff like this hurts his brand a lot more than he believes..
