Rather rotten of the YouTuber to just abandon it.
Is that store-sold stuffed animal bigger than the late "Andre the Giant"? He fit in airplane passenger seats. He cleared airport security screening checkpoints.
Here he is:

The giant teddy bear had a ticketed seat, according to some articles. Doesn't the "9 foot teddy" get shipped in boxes whose biggest dimension is smaller than 9 feet? Compressing a stuffed animal isn't all that hard to do, and in some ways it easier to do than to try to compress a newly cut Christmas tree if unfamiliar with the methods to make it simple.
Even when not compressed, this teddy bear would perhaps cause me less discomfort if it spilled over into my seat too than what has happened to me from some "people of size" spilling over into my seat space.
