This isn't a meaningful criticism because -- well, watch what people do, not what they say. But it isn't even coherent because you're working with an out of date list: https://amazon.jobs/en/internal&#x2F

Etsy can target incredibly well to show me things I want to buy....when I'm looking at one of their ads on Instagram. Their actual site recommendations? Deeply mediocre. The difference, given that I sign over a bunch of data to them

"Your argument"? I put it in quotes to indicate it's the attitude I'm explaining rather than a belief I'm putting forward. > Pretty much all norms like this are culturally determined with just-as-strong-arguments

At least two FAANG companies hire from my Kroger-brand just-beyond-community-college alma mater, so I'm gonna guess that's not it. I have dark theories about how much harder it would have been if I'd taken even a single other

This article explicitly contrasts Margaritaville with The Villages, at least, so it is presenting as not just "one of these". Also, the middle class doesn't need those things, for goodness's sake.

It was not referring to Lana del Rey, that criticism would be the opposite of what we're discussing, and thus it's sort of funny you'd assumed that's whom I'd meant... The purpose of redacting the name is that I
