I saw the wan show and they didn't know they were affecting viewers, only affecting themselves. They address the problem and moved on. If viewers were affected, they would probably have made it a bigger deal.

I still don't understand why it's Linus' job, just because he does "tech"? There are even bigger creators like MKBHD or Mark Rober (has scam videos). They have information now, but will they probably not even address it.
