It's really sad to see all these people have to learn the hard way that it was all BS.
This author had a great stunt many years ago, before he joined "Big Tech", where he set up a fake "startup company" website. Apparently he got lots of inquiries from easily duped people who thought it was real. These companies were BS back then and are still BS now. But lots more people have gotten duped. Many, many thousands. Easy money has blinded people from seeing the truth.
There are only so many people that a company actually needs to run a search engine with ads that generates ~85% of their revenue along with other stuff that generates the remaining ~15%. To believe they truly need 139,000 or whatever the headcount is/was, that's just fantasy land. But that's what "Big Tech" is, a fantasy, just like the system described in this blog post. It's incredible how many people bought into it.
