Is there more to this than just a reddit screenshot posted on what’s clearly a clickbait shithole of a website?
I remember seeing the video of the play button, and kind of expected the guy to get a lot of hate. It resulting in harassment and suicide wouldn’t surprise me considering how Youtube people are. However, I’m not going to accept such a wild story without some credible evidence, especially since this is also the type of hoax internet losers would make up for clout.
The kid bought a silver YT button from the NCIX channel at auction. Linus tried to buy it back from him, but after some discussion, realized he should just let him keep it .
Some people supposedly harassed that guy online and eventually he killed himself.
People blame Linus for this because… 🤷 Ragebait, I guess.

Dude, WHAT? I knew about the first part, but the rest is horrific!

More than 0? Yes. All you’ve provided is a link to an article with more ads than words.

Linus responded to it. I doubt he’d respond if it was fake.
