The controversy continues to grow.

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 root is that the company is entirely managed by Linus and the friends he made way back when. They simply grew tremendously and assigned every friend one of the management roles. That’s it, that’s the company.

    This sounds a lot like the bro culture at Uber before they cleared house.

      There is nothing wrong with a “bros” company.

      Issues appear when such company starts hiring other people.
