Ah, stupid attention "economy", or whatever this dystopia is called.
Somewhat relatedly, an actress once told an amusing anecdote on UK the TV chat show "Graham Norton", I was curious about it, so I googled it as I was watching, but there was nothing. Right as the show ended I googled again, hundreds of results, but all the articles I found mentioned that she told this anecdote on the show (so if I wanted to learn more about it, the articles won't help since they're just rehashes of what I just watched). WTF, hundreds of search results, a few minutes after she told the anecdote!
I now guess somebody wrote it up, published it and maybe linked to it on Twitter, some content-farming bots notice $ACTRESS_NAME trending on Twitter, and their algorithm realize there's audience eyeballs to be gained there, and found the freshest article about her, on Twitter I suppose?
Thanks a lot Brin/Page.. you're welcome for buying you private jets!
- Scoundreller 3y agoPrivate jets are cheap, because nobody bothers with truly custom builds, nor wants to fly something unproven. Private yachts are what they're thankful to afford, the sky is the limit for those!
- adhesive_wombat 3y agoAfter all, a yacht is just a hole in the water into which you must constantly shovel money in order to keep it open. Probably actually one of the ways billionaires reluctantly cycle money back into the normal economy more effectively, considering the enormous labour needs in design, build and operation! Per the teachings of supply-side Jesus.

- praptak 3y agoThey got the private jets for actually solving this problem (then). Too bad they don't seem interested in keeping it solved.
