You killed the creatives, trained the machines on their work, and called it progress. Now show me the f**king results. Show me the case studies. Or admit it: you’re just selling clients the illusion of innovation while bleeding the soul out of the industry.

Viva la resistance. Love the energy.

Yeah, but it will take the clients a few years to realize they’ve been had and that they all have been smoking from the same bong offered by the holding companies. By the time they realize this, the CEOs will be out with their golden parachutes leaving a destroyed industry in their wake. From those ashes, a new creative industry could rise like the Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 and there could be a whole creative renaissance. But this won’t happen without lots of casualties first. And by then, you and I will either have left the industry, be “retired” working as a greeter at Walmart or maybe be one of the very few survivors.

@GCS Sorry bud, the bong is for the clients just to keep them hoodwinked around long enough to fleece them.

ROI is the Holy Grail. If your key measurement is about efficiency, why worry about effectiveness? And let's face it ... no one can tell good from bad anymore, so go with cheap and fast.
