I first saw pinky in the picture when on a post saying italian company tired of dealing with insufferable influencers so they just built their own.

Ill say the same thing now that I did then.

Reminds me of the novel Idoru by William Gibson. Worth a read, not sure how it holds up in this era though

It’s generous to call influencers human.

Did a complete idiot write this article? How the fuck are you allowed to report on business without the basic understanding of technological innovation and its impact on business relationships and transitioning business operations?

Does this dumb motherfucker think that we still have horse and buggy businesses and children working looms?
