Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

The more I read about LMG, the more the structure of the company looks like a mob.

There is one guy with his wife at the top of the pyramid. The CEO and others are below. If the top of the pyramid has what it ask for, nobody will care about what’s happening.

That’s how companies are structured. What you want staff to be higher up the chain of command and CEOs I’m not quite sure what you’re asking for

I mean… Yeah? CEOs suck if you’ve been paying attention. Most “chains of command” are just privileged people with connections. Then you have the lower management (let’s be real fuck middle management they’re almost always useless) and workers doing the actual labor and making the least. That always feels stupid to me 🤷‍♀️

That’s how a lot of small businesses operate, unfortunately.

“we hired”: there’s going to be the findings they tell management, the report with the findings management allows them to add, and the findings that management tells us about.

This means nothing until you hear independently from the employees themselves about substantive changes.

I don’t watch his videos, or frankly any YouTube or Twitch or whatever… it seems like he is just a regular guy with faults, and people are projecting sainthood on him. Maybe he’s a bit of an ahole, just like you and me.

Wow, that’s a huge assertion coming from someone who does not watch YouTube or knows nothing about the guy in question.

Edit: Also, YouTube is a place where many go to look up information from trusted sources. Many content creators on YouTube rely on putting out good quality content to make a living. What used to be a great source of information back in 2012 (speaking about Linus Tech Tips), has turned into a money grab, which puts quantity over quality to make money, thus feeding end users erroneous data and steering said users to bad decisions.

Thanks. Though you don’t need to tell oversensitive people to not be offended as they’ll be offended anyways.
