  • Aubrey Plaza had the brand that she was this independent and couldn’t give a fuck progressive chick. And then she did a milk propaganda campaign and her reputation took a hard dive.

    Look, I get everyone needs to get paid. But it’s not like milk needed another spokesperson. This was on the same level as Terry Crews doing an Amazon commercial on the heels of them denying unionization at a warehouse.

    I lost a lot of respect for her after this commercial.


  • I hate when companies do this at conventions.

    A few times I approached a booth because I heard some good things about them. More often than not it’s an attractive woman who stands there all bubbly to attract engineers. I ask technical questions about the product because I assume that this person wearing the company’s shirt that they actually know something. But then they shepard me to toward the technical staff who are exactly who you expect them to be.

    One time this happened I asked them why they aren’t at the front talking to people and they said their managers wanted someone who could pull people in. I figured out then that the eye candy weren’t even employees at the company.









  • Honestly, it’s probably one of the few industries where men are paid less than women.

    I looked into the porn industry during the pandemic and it’s wild, pun intended. Some companies are legit and super concerned about consent and paying people well but others are not (i.e. girlsdoporn). Some production companies are super progressive while others are normal capitalistic ventures with shitty values.

    Even individual models (e.g. onlyfans models) can be deceiving. Some are “real” in the sense it’s the real model interacting with you while others hire third-world companies to manage their sites. (Aside: be careful not to form parasocial relationships with OF models.)
