talks about the instructors like they are real people
That’s because they are real people! Working people who are doing a job, not actual friends of course. But still: real living, breathing, actual human beings.
Although I do wonder if buried somewhere in the business plan is the expectation of replacing them with AI-equivalents that don’t cost as much & don’t require pesky things like holidays or sick pay.
- bstar77 7y agoNever thought I'd read exercise bike FUD. So much misinformation here. Thanks for clearing it up.
- mikemac 7y agoSome of these instructors do a great job on social media too - promoting their rides on instagram, etc. It helps build the community aspect of it. I actually think that's a small price to pay for how many people are taking their class. 1 instructor can draw 10k participants for a single ride.
- dqv 7y agoProbably what they mean is that she has a parasocial relationship[0] with the instructors i.e. she knows the instructor but the instructor does not know her. [0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction
