Good thing you’re not in charge of anything…

Easy to get COVID twice when you take no precautions.

You are the problem.

It’s easy to make a low-effort joke-comment like this, and obviously Fortune 500 CEOs and billionaires aren’t doing any good for the world, but this was a young woman who was pursuing her passion to try to make the world a better place.

The entire company is less than 50 people, and they seem to be trying to do good things.

I think we should try to be more context aware. “CEO BAD” is an easy philosophy to espouse, but it doesn’t really encompass the nuances of reality.

That was literally my first thought.

Maybe boomers are more embarrassed about being scammed (or just more private in general), and so basing all this on a self-reported study seems like a bit of a shaky foundation.

Would be great if they had some more data that wasn’t from self-reporting…

No! Mine!

Not only that, but matchmaking being an “required” part of every remotely-competitive online game has destroyed any sense of community that can be built within the game.

Before matchmaking took over everything you’d have dedicated servers run by groups of users who actively fostered a community. They would manage admin/mod duties on their server and so you could find a server with a like-minded user base.

It actually has interesting parallels to the enshittification of sites like Reddit. Before there was more of a focus on small groups and communities that self-regulated (dedicated servers / subreddits) and over time it has shifted to an algo-driven feed of content (feed of default subs / matchmaking).
