The Truth About theorg.com

Recently, The Org CEO Christian Wylonis took to LinkedIn to celebrate a major milestone: reaching 1 million signups. They also celebrated reaching $1M ARR recently.

The response? Total censorship. Instead of engaging with a professional whose privacy was compromised, the comment was deleted.
