Yup saw this book on the subway. Appreciate this little page you've put together... totally see how some will hate the book and you're better off if they just know upfront what they're getting into. Think it should be a fun read for the HN/crypto crowd though, especially if you're into some econ/finance/market theory.

But that leads me to a question I've really wanted to ask... how much does it cost to put up an ad on the subway? (if you don't mind answering)

Would also recommend "Travels by Narrowboat" available on Amazon Prime. The chug-chug of the diesel engine as John moves from one canal to another (with some sort of horrific/terrific can-based recipe thrown in every now and then) is great background TV to have on for that sort of occasion.

As an aside - but not completely, because it speaks to incidents such as this re Spotify... but have people been noticing a deterioration in the Spotify experience recently? For example, the UX of the app getting too complicated; the algorithms no longer have the "delightful serendipity" they used to, etc and so on. I suppose that is to be expected from any behemoth (especially one that is not particularly profitable and subject to the squeeze from other parts of the industry)... but the loss of the ecosphere that built around it seems to only hasten the problem.
