*HEY TEAM, IF YOU ENJOY “FOR SCALE” IT MAY BE OBVI TO SAY: SHARING POSTS HELP US IMMENSELY. OR CONSIDER A 💟*
DEAR SNOOPS,
Many great pals of “FOR SCALE” are unenviably unable to publicly express their very learned opinions because their TOP TIER EMPLOYMENT STATUS requires a certain diplomacy.
No longer.
Enter: THE “ANONYMOUS INTERVIEW”, wherein we provide a release from BRAND OATH BONDAGE and the DIPLOMACY NEEDED AS A RESULT OF PERSONAL PROFILE and allow the ‘POWER PLAYER’ to gab freely.
THIS IS PART IV. (All four parts are here: THE COLLECTION: ANONYMOUSLY INTERVIEWED INDUSTRY POWER PLAYERS.)
SOME ENTICING QUOTES:
“I do respect brands like ******* [FIND OUT BELOW!] that have developed a certain type of mass audience.”
and
“Subst*ck and Patreon will be there, but the subscriber model can only work for the focused and curious (a minority) and any content viewed at scale will be algor*thm-driven almost by definition.” (BUMMER!!! LET’S SEE IF THEY HAVE A SOLUTION.)
and
“How can you, in ten seconds, explain to somebody who their whole life has been fed visual propaganda about how wealth = taste, that actually that cloud sofa with a massive flat screen and an ottoman the size of an outhouse are not the pinnacle of good design?” [YOU CAN’T!]
