Late Stage Capitalism
How can a company run by humanoids actually be this bad? How do these ads pass any levels of approval?

@gargron i think their marketing is made by users
Late Stage Capitalism
@CobaltVelvet @gargron are you implying that their marketing is sarcastic and designed to highlight the horrors of capitalism? O.o

My sense of things is that Late Capital is just going in for the kill now

@Gargron
Just like deliberately crap spam e-mails It's a really effective way to filter out anyone who would feel like they are being exploited on that terrible service. Works well from that angle!

@Gargron NYC subway? I'm not there now, but it looks like the inside of a 1, 6, 7, or S
And yeah the ads can get very late-stage capitalism-y at times

@Gargron Wow, I guess it's trying to say something like "Be daring, take risks" but it says it in the worst way imaginable.
I saw this tweet earlier today and it conveys rather the same feeling to me. https://twitter.com/yiffpolice/status/974724364267589634 (sfw thread)

@Gargron urgh, fuck fiverr.
I made so much stuff on the side when I had a safe reliable paycheck, and it helped 'cos it meant I could afford printing and going to conventions too. so fiverr can shove it up their butt.
@Gargron Is this an elaborate Watership Down reference? Is there a rival company called Cowslipp?

@Gargron
you are a compassionate human
open to life in its many manifestation
maybe even understanding your own smallness
these fuckers just want money
as much as they can fleece
from a variety of millenial sheep

@Gargron This doesn't even make sense. Either crushing my soul is being set up as the positive, which implies that working as a contractor is in any way safe or reliable and that they're targeting some really fucking weird meta-self-depreciation fetishists who _want_ their soul crushed, or it's sarcasm, in which case they're selling themselves as unsafe and unreliable in comparison to their alternatives.

is it "having a stable salary is boring, try being afraid for your survival by taking as many as possible of the worst jobs related to a computer and having to fight for it against millions of unemployed bored people"
