I beg to differ, I yawned on the first page, on the second page, and got somewhere else. Information density is very low. It looks like this journalist, as many other, is paid by the line, and adds too much water in the soup.
- Skibb 13y agoIndeed, writing is vapid at best.
- kmfrk 13y agoVapid is too strong a word, but it nothing but glorifies successful start-ups, and provides no caution for people who'd like to learn something from this. The only conflict described is agonizing over which multi-gazillion offer to take(!). It's also fairly thin on new insights into the history and acquisition.
- subsystem 13y agoI think it has to do with the intended audience and the format of the publication, more than anything else.
- Skibb 13y agoAlso, vapid according to dictionary: Offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging. Guess you're right. It was challenging to read the whole thing till the end.
- Skibb 13y agoWell it IS Vanity Fair after all.
