Legohio was always pretty obviously satire. Content creators who took the source material and adapted it but still quoted him as a source made it seem like he was being serious. But if you actually looked at his content for the month or two that he was posting fake leaks it was pretty obviously a joke. I still follow him now just because he’s actually a funny guy and it’s a comedy account. He made it to poke fun at content creators, other leakers and the community as a whole. No harm was done by it.
I appreciate your input! Even if he'd always intended for it to be a joke, it ran for so long that it basically became fake news. As you said, "real" accounts started to pick it up and disseminate it, leading to mass confusion no matter the original intent. He should have stopped there, but given the amount of effort he put into it, he was never going to. It's more excusable than Jay's "investigation," but both had the same end result.
Looking back, I would have handled things differently, but it was meant to be harmless fun. To those who felt “harmed”, I would suggest they take LEGO a little less seriously.
Great video, I really enjoyed it!
Have a great day! ☺️

Fun fact about legohio is that soon after they hit 1000 followers they posted some pretty homophobic views
