This is them condoning the behavior and showing their support for the channel in their weird cringey way. Not a condemnation.
So they're saying that if Linus suffers a bit then all is forgiven? They're not worried about the SA charges or intense deadlines that results in lower quality videos?
If true, that's much worse.
Worse than that. It's more along the lines of asserting that they are happy with the financial arrangement and "jokes" as per the status quo, and that they stand by him and his decision to advertise their product for money on the "apoplogy" video. They're making fun of the ones raising the issues, not linus. Even further they're trying to milk to controversy for attention.
I thought it was just the "milking the controversy" part, but I don't know dbrand's marketing well enough to know if this was approval or disapproval of how he's handling things.
Regardless, it turns me off from dbrand.
