“Becoming one of these iconic, impactful companies is akin to winning a gold medal in the Olympics. In fact, probably more challenging,” Shafi wrote in the memo, which was full of similarly outlandish analogies. “Like the Olympics, we know most people don’t want to be Olympians. In the same way, not everyone will want to walk the path we are walking. But for those that want to push their limits and find out what they are capable of, this culture is for you."
Translation: work long hours and don't complain, because I stand to make a lot of money from your labour.
Ah yes, a cult.
What I'm capable of :(
I have never heard of this before.
Only the bots knew of it.
That's about twice as much as Reddit and Twitter! /hj
Capitalists love their top-down approach
If you have realistic enough bots couldn't you just sell thier data?
Honestly, I bet you could sell this idea to some investors dumb enough.
What the heck is a "unicorn social app"?
Unicorn is a weird finance term, a company that is worth a billion USD without being public https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn_(finance)
Imagine being one of those 1 million monthly active users just realizing that you were talking to a bot most of the time.
Shoulda renamed themselves to "less than real life"
