Not a great article. Lots of leaning on emotions with little to actually say.

Finally some sanity in here.

It’s always about the money. Everyone else yelling about them spying, they’ll only do that if it makes them more money.

Filter by island. Plenty of options.

Same. I won’t tolerate pop ups. We didn’t when the internet was new and I sure won’t when watching a show I’M PAYING TO WATCH.

It really does come down to this. They would be outright screwed.

While many of my family members have served in the past and do now, the US is not the end all, be all.

^ this. All of it. It’s death by a thousands cuts and just shows the incredible amount of greed they have (not shareholder value, it’s bloody greed).

As an interview I always ask, “why here? I mean other than to pay your bills, you didn’t apply to a charity.” Always gets a laugh and then they generally give me an honest, decent reason.

We never ask to hear, “because bills.” We aren’t as stupid as you think we are. Some people actually nail this question, others don’t attempt. You can’t try? Why the hell do you think you’d be a good fit? I can hire more motivated people that will do better in the long run.

Interviewing is a skill like any other. Some people are great at it, others suck because they don’t understand what it’s for. Most fall in the later category since they miss the point entirely.

Interviews are for fit a lot of times. I get plenty of candidates. I want someone who will 1) fit the team and 2) jive with me as a manager. Not everyone can fulfill those 2 main requirements. The skills come secondary honestly.

Not exactly what they’re getting at. This misses the point entirely. You applied here. Why?

Desperation is a valid answer.

Valid answer.

It’s the same mentality of, we shouldn’t mute ads or go to the bathroom when they come on. That’s the advertising businesses problem, not mine. They haven’t made life better for most of us and I refuse to feel guilty of depriving them of money.

Holy crap that’s cheap! Honestly, I’d pay that.

Agree with this. For my business, and most customer facing ones honestly, Google is how people discover you. They are the modern day Yellow Pages. You don’t exist on Google and you may as well not exist. It sucks but they have that much of a stranglehold. This is why everyone is shitting themselves over Google using AI (it’s harder/unknown how to game).

Absolutely the same for me. The only reason I block their ads is because of how frequently they interrupt the content. It’s just unacceptably greedy. Pre-roll ads is fine, I get they have bills to pay too.

Fuck BlackRock. Disgusting company.

Home lab racks are tiny these days but I hear ya.

Nope. It’s just showing monitors for days. Get the end and it’s just bottom page links.

This is all I see on mobile
