Hey, I figured it out! https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/savedquery/809799891616:6b... There's a learning curve. Getting in without giving up your credit card isn't exactly intuitive. And Leslie isn't th

Gotcha! I figured that might be the case. I'd be very happy to hear more about those table stakes. 100 stakes is a lot tho =)

I find it interesting that the author doesn't mention anything about the product as priority during his job search. No mention of tech stack, product-market-fit, growth potential, or being convinced that a product is filling a genuine

At least today even fraudulent impressions are valuable because ad buyers are willing to pay for them. They're smartening up though, as Tony Haile (author of the linked article & Chartbeat CEO) is aware. Viewability & attention

I respect your ideals. And I'd love to hear about how you plan to move the Internet towards Utopia. But I'm not sure consuming without paying (attention to ads) is really the most respectful or effective way to get there.

There's a lot of talk that Publishers are a dying breed, but I don't really think there is a status where publishers don't exist. Middlemen with more perfect information will always prosper. This is a valiant cause. There is
