Alternative take - playing up to the YouTube algorithm is what has allowed LMG to expand to the point where it provides jobs for over 100 (is it near 200 now?) people. Those people work hard, yet the majority seem to stay with the company which suggests any alternative employment isn’t attractive enough to motivate them to leave their current work conditions.
Work conditions suck just about everywhere these days. I wouldn’t consider what I have seen from employee interviews to be ringing endorsements nor total loathing. It is probably worse than you think and better than I expect. I still think they are chasing the wrong metrics regardless of whether it is a good place to work. The fact that Linus burned himself out gives you more than a hint of what it is like for others working there.

Yeah the mafia employs thousands of people as do many other criminal organisations.
You are not seriously suggesting that because they employ a few people this just washes away all their filth and villainy?
Otherwise let’s give a big round of applause for organised crime and their humanitarian efforts to give people employment. 🙄
