It's not sustainable, but with startups the goal is to either get big, or fail, over the span of a few years. You're not supposed to be at that level forever. If someone tries to that, we would call them a workaholic, and they will probably later regret not seeing more of the world while they were still young.

It's weird how he states it so plainly, yet people misunderstand it. It's not for everyone. Some people specifically are willing to work at an unstable startup company, and can commit long hours in exchange for ownership of the company. They get a big reward if things go well. If the company just paid a paycheck, that would be exploitative. he's not talking about a shitty job where you're asked to work long hours because some rich assholes need line to go up. It's totally valid to want just a stable job where you go in, do your fucking job, then go home, and get paid, then live your passions outside of work. Get that work/life balance, that should be your choice. This guy is not talking about that kind of job. You guys are a bit too extreme, it can be fulfilling to work hard and get rewarded, just because you had a bad experience working for an exploitative big company doesn't mean all work is like that. If you have a lot of shares, then you're part owner. If they don't offer equity then fuck that, they can't expect anyone to put up with long hours, and what kind of cuck would get enjoyment about making other people rich?

it looks like you have to skip the part in italics at the top of articles (disambiguation, "other uses", etc..) too for that to be effective

I can't make it show that message. I tried both Chrome and Firefox with ublock. Do I need to use a different adblock to even see these warnings from youtube? I would like to verify this is true before sharing this information.

I gave up on reading books because of that. Reading a few sentences at a time online is fine, but if it's just pages and pages, I can't do it.

Now now, people should know better than to get sentimental about corporations. Redirect that energy to people, not companies.

I'm stopping posting for now. I'll resume if anyone finds this somehow and actually likes this stuff . I blame myself for it failing, I don't know how to market on decentralized platforms.
