Well, it’s normal given how big the channel is and how it dominates (currently) the tech space on YouTube. Everyone wants to jump the bandwagon of reporting the new drama.
Still, it’s weird that nobody picked up in LTT the current video quantity vs quality. Or the ones at charge just wanted more money and stood silent, or LS just had too much in his plate to deal with it. From the leaked audios, he doesn’t seem like the usual perky company owner, and this break hopefully will allow them to clean house.
My theory is there is someone in the production chain that had the keys, wanted a raise, treated as slaves everyone else in his way, and kept silent.
