The funny thing about stupid people, they do stupid things all the time...

Like buying Yahoo circa 2015...

Like buying Aol, circa 2000

The audience has already left and it's never, ever coming back.

It's never wrong to do the right thing.

Trump and his cronies are short timers. They will all be gone in a few years, many in prison, many in the ground.

Treat them with abandon and disdain, because they are the worst people in the history of the USA. Stand on your principles because they have none.

Except machines dont pay for products or services... show all the fake ads you want to all the fake profiles you can, inflate your figures to the moon but in the end, the results for the advertiser will determine media value not the fake metrics.

All digital media is a race to the bottom. It appears that Pinterest is falling very fast.

PINS has 5200 employees! What The actual F are 5200 people doing?

This company exemplifies the "dead internet". No way they grow, let alone hit their targets.

Going short.

Kids today learning about the FTC and standards... we used to be a real country, with real laws that actually helped real people.

Like poker, math only takes you so far in sales. You have to learn people if you want to succeed at selling. In fact, math is all but irrelevant for most person to person sales. Buying decisions are mostly emotional. Learning people is a skill that will translate to every other aspect of your life.

There is no definitive reason for creators to be paid. Zero. These platforms can and should stop paying people for their content. Without the platforms, the creators are dead. Make them pay for access to the audience and this whole problem disappears and makes the platforms far more profits.

Kill the influencer, kill the creator. Its all bullshit.

This is actually the only real life use case for blockchain. Certifying the originality of the content.

But nope. Instead we have meme coins and speculators...

Advertising is a cancer. Adtech is the delivery mechanism.

Paying creators is the dumbest and most consequential aspect of modern media. There is no reason to reward creators, zero. They should actually be paying Youtube for access to their audience. They actually would pay to be seen, paying them is both stupid and unnecessary. Kill the incentives and you kill the cancer.

With all due respect, you are thinking like a good person, a human being who spent decades of their life to learn how to care for people. You took a pledge to Do-no-Harm. You are looking at these tools as tools.

The owners and future owners of said data do not care about anything other than profits and exploitation. They do not care about the patient, the doctor let alone the consequences of their doings. They took a pledge to make-profits regardless of the harm. A position fundamentally opposed to that of the medical doctor.

Yes, trading your privacy and autonomy for perceived ease is how they are going to steal your future and your freedom.

You will be assigned an individualized risk figure that will determine whether or not you are given coverage and treatment. Those decisions will happen without you or any MDs involvement. You will never know it happened and it will follow you for the rest of your life and your children's lives.

You will be denied coverage and treatment because you volunteered your personal data with zero controls over its use and your rights. \
