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.”

    This reminds me of sexual misconduct allegations in the electronic music scene. When EDM blew up it elevated a bunch of basement dwelling computer nerds to rock star status. Musicians like Datsik and Bassnectar let that status go to their heads and immediately abused it.

      At least if it’s popularity based like with an artist, people are directly supporting them.

      It always blows my mind when f*cking business dipsh*ts start acting like rock stars. Yea, money’s attractive to some, but nothing like musical talent! Those f*cking goobers.
