I've always got bad vibes from LTT. He seemed like he always had a "bigger than you" attitude about everything. The things mentioned here exceeded my already existing opinions about him.
He has a grating loud attitude that works well on YouTube and has served him well, and I never found his videos to be obnoxious. But his talents obviously do not include running a 100-person team, that much is certain. I hope he turns it around and makes amends, but given his recent comments and his general attitude, I doubt it.
Yeah he obviously didn't want this to happen, but he clearly lacks fundamental leadership skills, and lacks any sorts of emotional intelligence in how to even react to the situation.
He's reached a point where he couldn't handle the growth, and he's now ruined the image he built for himself over the years. I don't see him saving face especially with this sad excuse of an apology video and like you said, his general reactions and recent comments.
Such is life at any content farm. You're the cattle being milked for content. Reminder that they're pretty much all like this and it's an epidemic within the internet video industry.
