      He let money and fame go to his head and lost touch with what was important; his ego is more important than doing the right thing to him. Constant inaccuracies in their videos. Original employees started jumping ship because they weren’t making enough. A bunch of scandals including messing up a review and tanking a startup before auctioning off the prototype the company lent them, employee harassment/verbal abuse, etc.

          Let’s not forget the Honey scandal when he sold his own audience for money.

            Or where he sold other companies property for money. Then lied about making things right with the company. Then made an asshole apology video, then made a “genuine” apology video.

            While every known face besides him seems to be fleeing the company.

        Good summary. I also remember it didn’t sit quite right with me that they were having company employees work on their private home renovation (and a second one, and maybe a third one, if I’m not mistaken?). “Here’s a long format YouTube video of people hoping to make it big in the media/tech industry doing up their millionaire bosses’ house” … Really?

        The two guys who left had bigger ego issues, the woman who ended up leaving had more of a case but even then, LTT is a business, shit happens especially in the tech industry.

          A lot of unnecessary shit happened which could easily have been avoided.

          “Shit happens” is not a good defence for anything.
