I don't think it's Harry's fault that people are stupid. He has nothing to apologize for.

He is not responsible for other people's actions, especially that his video was informative/educational. Don't blame this guy.

[Victoria Tomzik](https://hashnode.com/@victoriatomzik) The video title was a clickbait and he encouraged to create as many PRs as possible as some of them will get accepted. Thumnail translated to "Free t-shirts grab asap".

Well, that changes a little - not the fact that people are stupid, tho.

He did make a video titled "get a free t-shirt" and then demod the exact PR thousands have copied. He's not blame free.

so, if I have a few thousand t-shirts on my hands, I could order a raid somewhere in exchange of some t-shirts and not be accountable of the consequences? instigator is the word you are looking for.
