Don’t forget failed, mentally ill, manic rebrands that cost billions and go nowhere.
Oh, and enabling human traffickers.
- fusslo 3mo agothe ceo of a former company I was at demanded a rebrand like 6 months after our internal rebrand. Cost ~500k-800k USD. Turned out he was schtupping the vp of the design company (his wife told the admin assistant during the divorce)
- bluefirebrand 3mo agoI wouldn't be surprised if a much larger proportion of big business and politics boiled down to this Yeah there's lots of ethics rules and stuff about it but we've seen how little the upper class cares about that Whenever a big business deal goes down, I tend to assume someone's getting sex or money out of the deal Frankly there's already just so much corruption that we know about and it seems unlikely we know about all of it or even most of it
- robocat 3mo ago> Schtupping Note that word isn't joint to tupping unless you're from Tasmania. Shtupping comes from Yiddish, while tupping comes from an old English/Scots agricultural term relating to rams. I wonder what "commission" the VP received.

- malfist 3mo agoHey now that was an accident! They created a taskforce to prevent that from happening again, ignored all their recommendations and then laid them all off. I'm sure meta learned their lesson
- giantrobot 3mo agoBig whoopsies on that one.
- solid_fuel 3mo agoHow now, that’s not fair. They also make a lot of money giving teenagers depression and selling them beauty products and chatbot companions.
- mxschumacher 3mo agoplease stop being so mean, they also create echo chambers to kill political discourse (i.e. the foundation of democracy) and show the most inflammatory material to their users to pit them into a shouting match against each other
- solid_fuel 3mo agoTruly who could blame them though. They have to trap people in rage bubbles or they might make slightly less money! I'm so tired of these double standards, nobody ever blames fentanyl manufacturers for making such an addictive product so why is everyone mad at facebook? All they did was poison discourse for a generation and provide material support to an autocrat.
