      They’re asking for volunteers to run the 2024 Super Bowl. I can’t explain why that infuriates me, but it does.

        Because the NFL has way too much money, industry-wise, to have any acceptable reason to not pay people.

        There, I think that’s a good starting point on explaining the infuriation.

      Unfortunately, creative industries are notoriously difficult to get into and so anything that will help someone “get their foot in the door” will seem attractive to those who dream of getting in.

      Baffled that a corporation would pay someone to write an article this badly!

      Ten paragraphs, no information

        8 years ago when I was struggling, I was getting paid $20 to write a 1000 word article.

        I can’t imagine how low the price is now, especially with AI.

        It’s going to get worse.

        Search engines could massively improve this simply by rewarding brevity instead of length (more scrolling by users = better seo ranking under current paradigm)
