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.”

Seems like every mistake Linus makes he gets called a narcissist. If he sneezes do we call him a narcissist?

Production needed to shut down for various valid reasons.

  • with 15+ million subscribers across however many channels, not everyone might be in the loop. They have to be informed. This is evident with constant posts asking what's going on.
  • the current and existing channels are not working, and require a review. You need to shut down production to fully assess the problem.
  • if production didn't shut down, I bet he would be called a narcissist for continuing to release videos.

Linus fucked up. Bad. But I don't envy his fame. Everything he does, whether right or wrong, if damn if he does, damn if he doesn't. Let him and Terren have the time to try to fix it.
