No there isn't. Companies are incentivised to extract as much money as possible from any given buyer. There is never a "this is enough money, I won't charge you more" situation. Inevitably every buyer will become a non-buyer, because they were outpriced.

Competition should solve this issue, but it doesn't work in media because there's no two rights holders for star wars content, or marvel content, or whatever. So services cannot compete on the same content, because the rights holders simply won't let them.

Copyright is a pest.

Sure let me know in a ticket, I'll get to it eventually!

Working the neutral way currently. There're so many tickets, all of them more important than the other, I can just as well take from the stack.

Everything I don't like is an ad.

Seriously. People. Get off your high horses. It's a fucking greetext of someone liking something.

Double edged sword, but yeah.

Acquisitions don't need to pay for themselves. Ideally they do, but sometimes it's enough if they just help the company's main business stay in business, or grow.

IBM is making $30bn+ in gross profit each year.

Social media fatigue is slowly getting traction. I don't have an article or study at hand to back it up, but I read about it the other day. Especially in younger generations it's a trend already.

Also, but that's only my personal theorie, i think it's a trend only among the less-hateful people. Hateful people nonstop spewing their vile messages everywhere is making "normal" people leave, which then turns off even more "normal" people.

The enraged slowly turning (unmoderated) social media into one big echo chamber.

What's the questions-to-answers ratio to make it acceptable to write "CEO here" in a topic, in your opinion?

How much and what would he need to post so damage control would have been done (and successfull) in your eyes?

Just asking in case I become a CEO and see someone having a solvable issue with my company's sercice.

He won't because that's exactly how it works. They need a successful delivery to be able to boost their own rating with a fake review.

Someone explained it in more detail I this topic, and there's also a link to the scam warning PSA.

If you're thinking about rage quitting a job you don't even have yet, maybe take a different career from the beginning?

What the hell.

Yes, that would be a Google killer. If you somehow find the money to provide it for free.

Finding a novel way of searching is one thing. Finding a novel way of financing the whole endeavor (and not going the exact route Google is) is another.

All kinds of IPO don't live up to their expectations. Facebook went down hard back in the day, for example.
