I'm not really judging the guy and his reasons to post something like this. But that episode of black mirror that the guy had to humiliate himself to get money... for me is not such an exaggeration in comparison. Being good at our jobs is not enough anymore; we have to humiliate ourselves on LinkedIn with cheap jokes or in front of a camera for tiktok or insta to praise the algorithm overlords and hope for some exposure... It's so bleak.
