How has anyone that runs these companies not realized it's just racketeering with extra steps.

A group of people come up to you and tell you everything you're doing is wrong. They shame everything you do. A group of people definitely not connected to them hound everything you say and do until you give the group money and jobs.

So you give in. You compromise. You pay them to make it stop. And suddenly it does. Almost like they were working together to get in to a place that would otherwise not let them in with their zero skillset outside of being manipulators.

Now there are so many of them, in every part of the company. The cancer has spread all through the company and you've got no choice but to continue going, because the original audience that was happy with what you're making doesn't want this.

So you talk to the money guys and they tell you that the previous audience is just not there anymore. And that the fabled new audience that loves whatever this new thing is, is nowhere to be found.

And this multi layered grift keeps working because they tell you it does and you keep listening because they've wormed their way into your head.

Wake up and change it before you don't have a say in anything that goes on in your company anymore, while you've still got a company.

The people who run these companies are in on the grift. There's a huge conflict on interest just beneath the surface of almost everything we talk about. Hell, GG started in response to a conflict of interest.

Pretty much. Speaking of that new "modern audience" they keep mentioning every time, some have already figured that it doesn't need to exist. That's not the point. It has to be created, and when enough people belong to said audience and nobody remembers how things used to be, it will come into existence.

At least the protection rackets used to just leave you alone if you paid. The DEI racket makes you change what you sell. It's not enough to just pay them, you have to kneel as well.
