Like a year ago he did a small niche PC part manufacturer dirty by royally screwing up the review of their product, which sparked a big controversy because the people who like LTT are also the people who like small niche PC part manufacturers. This opened the floodgates for further criticism - apparently everyone at LTT was being worked to the bone, every video was being rushed out the door to the point that there was no more time for fact checking or verification, female staffers were being mistreated, Linus was misusing company funds and going on his podcast to lie about what was happening, and probably some more stuff that I don't remember.

But then it kinda... fizzled out. My hypothesis is that LTT has reached the point where they are "too big to fail", and by that I mean that they have a large enough audience of people who don't read Reddit threads to just ride out the wave until the people who were angry lost interest.
