Hot take
What's next? Hedge funds are a metastasis of the cancer that is capitalism? Go figure.
Interesting read.
As opposed to successful social media posts, which would never go viral by telling everyone how much everything sucks.
Lol Just like that episode when Tom Cruise was trapped in the closet
I got a “sales” job once and during training this is basically what they preached. Find the pain point and lay into it until they relent and sign up for the thing that will fix the pain.
Made me super uncomfortable and I quit 2 days into training, because a lot of what the place did was accessibility accommodations, so it was basically harassing old and disabled people going about their day, and making them feel bad about their shitty situation to take their money. No thanks.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

I love it when people join the fediverse and then propose ads as a way to fund it. Always shows the disconnect.
