yes its real..? Both Andy + Alex are now fired from Linus Tech Tips.. You don't need to believe me, but it's true. They have now their own channel.
Also Jake has its own channel now and also no longer works for Linus anymore..

Oh, that was real? I saw the title on a video in my feed and assumed it was some kind of clickbait.

Any place I can read the drama?

No real drama.
They wanted to make a car channel but LTT couldn’t finance it due to the recent allegations and resulting revenue loss, were allowed to try it themselves but due to an employee no-compete clause it caused issues and they were given the option of either stopping or getting fired with a huge severance package and stuff. It was essentially a silly legalese way for LTT to pay them to go be solo youtubers chasing their dreams.
As they say themselves, getting fired was a positive thing.

Kinda was. Listening to him it sounded like they did him an intentional favor.
