OT I was looking for attribution for a little more context but the only clue comes from the footer:
“This article was first published in Medium and appeared in VentureBeat & Business Insider”
I get the syndication and the other outlets using this content at the time it was written (2016). There’s just something very dishonest about the slapping the words on a page with some stock images 6 years later though.
I don’t really have a point - maybe it would be better to link to the original medium (I know) post though?

Edit: on the other hand the article itself is very honest. And it’s an interesting question.
- new299 4y agoThe author (Tim Romero) also runs disruptingjapan. So it's more like he's just replicating content he originally wrote for another publication to his personal/professional site...
- aidos 4y agoOh well that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the heads up.
- timoth3y 4y agoHi. Tim here. I first published in on my podcast site and then on Medium and LinkedIn a few days later. https://www.disruptingjapan.com/turned-500k-pissed-off-investors-shut-startup/ https://www.disruptingjapan.com/turned-500k-pissed-off-inves... It seems that far more people will click on a Medium or LinkedIn link rather than a personal blog. Then it was picked up by Venture Beat, Business Insider and a dozen other publications and it was off to the races. I received my 15 minutes of internet fame and over 1,000 emails about the article.
