Thank you. What you describe is exactly what I've noticed after delving into the car world via rentals.
If you're buying a sedan -- Toyota/Honda/Kia.
If you own a BMW/Audi/Benz, you're not wealthy and you're just signalling to other non-wealthy individuals. It's interesting because most of the BMW/Audi/Benz look terrible and are way cheaper than most expect yet still a terrible, arrogant waste of capital.
Only a few brands don't match this. Tesla and Range Rover. The former for obvious reasons. The latter because no comparable high-end SUV exists.
If you bought a Ford/Chevy, you're asking for reliability issues.
Right - a certain segment of the population is incredibly valuable for exactly this service.
I include myself in your description - love seeing relevant ads. There's a sweet spot there between those with high disposable incomes, high open mindedness and high affinity for novelty.
This population is by far the most attractive consumer for advertisers.
"I see that there are many young people here; as an old man, a little advice... Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, in the social struggle, but if we search for it we'll have the strength to get up again and start over. The most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. There is always a dawn after the night has passed. Don't forget it, kids. The only losers are the ones who stop fighting."
Sometimes I feel like the whole world is ruined by ignorant people in power. As for the Internet, it is exclusively being ruined by ignorant actors in positions of state power. All the while, armies of good people make the Internet better every day.
Every day I come into an office feels like a waste compared to a day I work from home.
A waste of my life to be more specific.
Requiring tech workers to be physically located next to each other during the hours of 9 AM to 5 PM, five days a week for years is archaic and a slap in the face of what we've done as an industry.
Perhaps data from large HR departments would be useful. Although that would limit it to people who stay at the same company.
Brings another question, is it possible to find out which two companies in the world have the most overlap between employees? To clarify, two companies which a majority of knowledge workers jump between.
If you were to study this for corporate standardized careers, how would you go about getting data?
I can't think of a reliable, detailed, readily available source of info like that. Maybe LinkedIn for profiles that explicitly state education years (HS and B.S. to estimate age) and then somehow filter through and classify job titles?
Several issues not including users who state themselves "Founder", "CEO", for MLM schemes. Maybe you could cut the population down to users who have had software titles.
