There is no actual proof for the suicide of the son and the mom, would love to see actual proof if you have it but i wouldn't really use this as an argument. I admit his behaviour was too much but pointing the blame for the suicide of a child is also too extreme
found this twitter post about it: https://twitter.com/reddit_lies/status/1691895748286177765 Just realized that Twitter account is quite stupid but I still can't find any evidence for it being true or not
Edit: I don't know if I want to believe if MindChop truly did what the reddit post is talking about, but I feel like Linus wasn't at fault for his community bullying the Owner.
THAT whole thing SHOULD NOT be included in this round of criticism. NO ONE is responsible for everything their fans do. That was a messed up situation that LTT only happened to be involved in. Most of their angst and trouble came from a terrible YT media group (not LMG) pulling their small channel around.
That's also my opinion on this
Hoc cognito, ergo dico hoc.
Indeed, the lack of professionalism and lack of respect in the work place are fully legit concerns. Though piling on someone's tragedy just to hurt LMG is a frankly shameful act.
I don't fault those curious about the event, but it is almost wholly and completely unrelated, AND not a fault of LMG per se. At least the severity of the outcome they had nothing to do with.
