Yet another example of multi billion dollar companies that don't curate their content because it's too hard and expensive. Well too bad maybe you only profit 46 billion instead of 55 billion. Boo hoo.
It's not that it's too expensive, it's that they don't care. They won't do the right thing until and unless they are forced to, or it affects their bottom line.
An economic entity cannot care, I don't understand how people expect them to. They are not human
Economic Entities aren't robots, they're collections of people engaged in the act of production, marketing, and distribution. If this ad/product exists, its because people made it exist deliberately.
No they are slaves to the entity.
They can be replaced
Everyone from top to bottom can be replaced
And will be unless they obey the machine's will
It's crazy talk to deny this fact because it feels wrong
It's just the truth and yeah, it's wrong
Once you enter the actual business sector and find out how much information is siloed or sequestered in the hands of a few power users, I think you're going to be disappointed to discover this has never been true.
More than one business has failed because a key member of the team left, got an ill-conceived promotion, or died.
