Brilliant advice. I don’t like it because it involves doing things I don’t like. But all the most effective advice is like that.

Quite a lot I would say. A CEO is making daily decisions, any one of which could be be the start of a company’s death spiral that results in tens of thousands of job losses. The amount of leverage they have over a company dwarfs that of any other individual worker. Besides what should I care what they earn if they pay me well for what I do, relative to the market? This is lazy, greedy socialist thinking where they want money for nothing’s

The YouTube app is a lousy user experience. The ads are the most intrusive and irrelevant of any service since commercial TV. For those reasons alone I would never become a paying customer. What’s worse is they have established themselves as yet another guardian of ideas. Content creators have to be careful not to talk about topics that are deemed out of line by the current msm and liberal zeitgeist. They could have been a great venue for debate during covid for example, but they censored and deplatformed world renowned scientists and doctors who dared question the cdc and wh. YouTube has the best content and I suffer through their UX to consume it but would leave as soon as there is an alternative

That’s pretty hilarious. Although without looking it up I would bet the first use of writing would have been ownership documents and transactions

If you told me the Guardian was mostly AI generated after being trained on progressive writings and WH press releases I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest
