They don’t “have” to do anything. LMG chose to hire dozens and then hundreds of people in an effort to grow as fast as possible. Linus could have prioritized accuracy or quality over quantity, but that would have made less money, so he didn’t.
Not entirely sure what you mean. Are you saying we should criticize YouTube for making the algorithm that creators have to cater to, and not LMG for bowing to the demands of that algorithm?
If so, I agree that YouTube should be criticized, but that doesn’t excuse LMG. Plenty of other channels have chosen not to go all-in on quantity and they have likely suffered financially for that decision. That is exactly what I mean by “priorities”.
Their priorities are keeping their people fed. Honestly, it doesn’t seem unreasonable, especially considering that they said that they’re going to likely end up taking a week off or longer before the next video, which will hurt their ranking in YouTube’s promotion algorithm.

My point is that you should criticize the reason, not the consequence.
