An ESPN reporter (Shams) spoiled the MVP announcement for the second straight year, even though Prime Video had the rights to announce it that evening effectively rendering their award show meaningless.

Is this a smart way of stealing a competitors’ clicks or is this over the line?

Award shows are always meaningless.

True. I’d still like a bit of a surprise though lol

I think competitors should take shots at one another, but this is way over the line to me. This is like shooting 5 seconds early in a standoff you weren’t even supposed to be in.

Also no one talk to me about the game

There’s another possibility: that we’ve over-commoditized something as simple as an announcement. It probably shouldn’t have a sponsor or an exclusive.

You’re absolutely right, it turns it into competitive slop like this. Even the award is called the “NBA KIA MVP” like why is Kia on the award???

Looking for advice to prepare for these final rounds of interview. Thanks!

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
