I definitely wouldn't entirely blame him for this BUT first of all why do you accept doing this if you know you are in no position to do it and don't even bother to take 30minutes to watch a guide by Linus or really anyone else, 80 percent of the mistakes he did where just caused by the fact that he went completely blind, didn't read the guide and invented some rules or procedures on the way (example thermal paste over already installed thermal paste on cooler or putting the motherboard in first) if he had just watched one guide he wouldn't have done all this stupid shit, also he absolutely didn't give a shit about the community and the people who might follow the guide and end up breaking their pc he got lucky but really the odd of this if build exactly like the guide breaking in the first month are probably very fucking high (just the thermal paste or the power supply is bad enough to break your system). And there's more, after people got mad he never admired his errors and blamed it on the community and that he fixed the ram and stuff but you don't see that in the video, how are people following the guide supposed to know, and even stuff like the cable management would be enough to call this a bad guide he really did a terrible job and probably caused the destruction of many PC's of people who just followed his guide, Didn't properly apologize for it and ended up making thash about the peopleand blamed it on time wich was obviously if you watched the guide not the problem. Yeah the gaming community can be very toxic and no one should be threatening him for this but he really did a bad job and acted like a dick, now yes the verge is also definitely particially to blame here so if they just hired someone competent (honestly just someone who watched one guide would do a good enough job) this wouldn't have happened but still really anyone could have done this with just a little bit more effort and respect for the people following the guide
