What actually do these massively overpaid executives do at these companies
PayPal depends solely on one source for the majority of its revenues (Ebay)
Facebook depends solely on one source for the majority of its revenues (iPhone ads tracking)
Netflix only makes enough good content to hold viewers attention if they are completely locked down
Complete swing and a miss.
When PayPal sees the end of the rainbow they throw out "pie in the sky" trending hype like crypto and Bitcoin payment features soon coming
When Facebook sees the end of the rainbow coming they throw out complete bullsht like Meta and Metaverse
Netflix relies solely on a cartoonish fad Squid Game for its entire 2021 feature list
Is this all there is to $100 million dollar salaries and supposed tech brilliance? Depending on excess Fed market pumping and throwing out empty trending bait. And the supply chain & covid are becoming excuses for extremely poor products and services. Very surprising that Apple beat so decisively. The iPhone 13 is not much different from it predecessors. I wonder if they will continue to beat as the Fed helicopter money is stopped. Tesla being recalled almost every week. How has Elon Musk become the only savior god-like genius of the entire world. Have IQs really dropped that low?
Much of Amazon's great earnings came from the upward valuation of its Rivian investment. How is it that we have come to depending upon 5 companies for our entire Silicon Valley tech brilliance and index support? Wont this end in misery when these same 5 companies start to bleed and crumble.
The short bus comes to every neighborhood in America now. Have we really reduced everything down to trending phrases and default knowledge? I will ask this question again. Have IQs really dropped that low?
1) I am not a fan of the Tesla car (do I need lidar to find my way around the neighborhood?)
2) I don't need most of what Amazon is selling
3) No way in hell I'm spending my evenings and weekends on Facebook and Instagram
4) I don't really need another new iPhone. Probably wont need one for several years.
5) Looked through Netflix offerings over and over and still cant find anything interesting
Because:
1) I like Pickups. I just bought a nice one and probably wont need another for many years
2) I like to shop at Cabela's, Dick's, Home Depot
3) I have a real life
4) My current iPhone works just fine and I probably shouldn't spend my life looking at a phone anyway
5) Television keeps reaching new lows. I tend to find other things like YouTube, sports, travel
I have a real life. The reason I know this is because I don't know what the metaverse is. I don't ever want to know what the metaverse is. In fact, I feel kinda sorry for the people already inside the metaverse.
