To be honest, if the author of this communicated pitches as ineffectively as this piece communicated the topic in its title, I am not surprised that whatever nameless gatekeeper he's talking about passed on his pitch. That's not e

It's also the case that the more people talk about it, the more future models will "solve" it just by having learned from discussion about it.

It's often just a place to go when your preferred one dies. A lot of tumblr users moved there for this reason in the mid-2010s. I moved there when reddit killed its third party (read: the only usable) apps and went through its own cult

If we're going all in on how they've ruined their site, their change of the default sort to use a variety of engagement metrics rather than upvotes is why the frontpage is mostly ragebait and gossip posts, as those drive engagemen

It has always been the norm. The only difference is that the way it used to work is that if you tried to undercut them by skipping out on fees or undercutting their members' salaries, then a couple guys had a sock party with you in the

No, I understand that. Union dues are not a transaction any more than taxes or insurance premiums. Part time or temporary employees will always be deprioritized under people who have built lives and families working for that company and con

It's illegal to pool tips in my state, but people still do it off the books a lot. Good dishwashers will often be tipped out via this tip pool, and I've seen really fantastic restaurants grind to a halt overnight because someone t
