It doesn't make it any less shady/unethical.


Probably just means they will pay it to those that leave and not retain the amount afterwards because its unsustainable.


Not really. Several studies show people who perform in these ways are disliked heavily by their peers it.


I don’t know what dislike means, but it’s obviously attracting enough eyeballs from someone to create multi billion dollar cash flow at Facebook and other social media companies.

Anecdotally, all the people who keep their head down and stay modest don’t advance politically. Tooting your own horn is basically a requirement.


Nope just tax breaks and bunching. Advertising has always been a waste of money. Donating for things you care about? Priceless.


The author should fix their data visualizations.


The problem is that 70% of adults are overweight and obese.


They are probably referring to the kool aid drinkers


In that case, they must have no clue what ‘proles’ is short for.


Well at the same time due to the way the industry works in the first place. Netflix was fundamentally going to die. Mainly due to how licensing fees work. Doing this alleviates that pressure in a way that cable never could.


because almost no one pays in a patreon model.


i m not sure if someone has worked out the economics. Billions can pirate a movie, yet many millions pay netflix etc. How much does a movie play cost on netflix.


Billions pirate a movie, yet they still recoup the production costs somehow because they aren't anywhere near going bankrupt.


Fearmongering at it's greatest. Instead of looking for possible solutions. It downplays the worst case scenarios by having "Too Many" educated people. Both the article and the study. Instead of asking why we should fear having too many educated people. Shouldn't we instead be asking the question why should we fear them in the first place? Rather, the government policies at place and the systemic issues which affect the people we should "fear". What am I to say. The study itself is from 2010.The effects of it are about to come anyways for the good and bad. It's just about how you deal with the issue. The call for higher education is a bipartisan belief in America. In which both sides already agree that student grants should be in place rather than student loans. While the candidates running may not agree with that in the coming presidential election both republic and democratic leaders agree that grants should replace loans. The main problems which they address really aren't likely to be problems in the near future.
