They'll go work for the AANG in FAANG. If they're good enough to get into FB, they've good enough for the other 4+. FB transferred from a "change the world" to a "change my finances and make my resume" place several yers ago. Several other companies fill in the latter qualification.
Also, and ya I know how this sounds, but if Coinbase keeps it up they and similar companies will and are grabbing some of the same talent.
- geodel 5y agoAh right. All moral quandaries get resolved while working for AANG.
- SamBam 5y agoWell, perhaps just the N, then. But Netflix has always been the odd-duck in FAANG. (And yes, you can point out reasons not to work at Netflix, but it seems like a whole nother level than the rest of FAANG.)
- goatlover 5y agoThere's been a couple Netflix public outrage instances. Like when they split up their pricing plan for streaming and DVDs, or the backlash over Cuties. But Netflix is still going strong.
- disgruntledphd2 5y ago> But Netflix has always been the odd-duck in FAANG. Yeah, mostly cos they make no money ;)
- WJW 5y ago1.7 billion in profit on ~7 billion in revenue in the first quarter of 2021 counts as "no money" these days?
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoYeah, because it essentially happened because they stopped producing content in 2020, due to the pandemic. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/19/netflix-says-cash-flow-positive-after-2021-no-more-external-financing.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/19/netflix-says-cash-flow-posit... Netflix have needed external financing to stay in business up till this year. This is very unlike the rest of FAANG (Amazon is similar, but do throw off a lot of free cash).
- asdfman123 5y agoLet's break this apart: everyone knows big tech has its share of problems. Most liberals can stomach it. What liberals can't stomach is a company allowing the spread of nasty election lies.
- kazinator 5y ago"Company allowing the spread of nasty election lies" quite literally describes what any media company is doing when they give air time to pretty much any running candidate.
- asdfman123 5y agoFalse equivalence
- kazinator 5y agoSort of. It's how you spread the lies. How they are delimited. One halfway responsible way: "here is a paid announcement from someone that doesn't necessarily reflect our views: ${LIES}". On the other end of the spectrum are sneaky, dark patterns and whatnot.
