What i understood was all investors are buying basket of tasty cookies and no one is buying meh cookies' basket or cookies. So tasty cookies are overvalued and meh cookies are under valued.

Give me a break, we supposed to protect the weak teenagers not sell them to advertisers for exploitation. They are vulnerable they need support at this time not the lucid loop of facebook. This is sad news.

Also about your "keep track of what's going on in the lives of ..", just call your friends to find out what is going on in their life. People normally don't post everything on facebook. I think its a great service if you want to know what's going on in Kim Kardashian life.

Amazon charges sellers 8-15% per each sale in addition to FBA Fees so only way a seller can make money is by selling counterfeit. Amazon is getting greedy, sellers are cutting corner and customers are paying price.

Netflix has awful user interface. I found out that i waste 15 to 20 min everyday browsing the same movies which i have rejected previously. There is no way to hide a movie. If you start hiding the movies on Netflix, you will find that there is actually no new stuff to watch most of the time. Also their rating system is horrible, they should tie up with Rotten tomatoes for actual rating.

8 out of 10 people cannot spot counterfeit goods. I bought a major brand perfume, Sold and fulfilled by Amazon. When i used it after 2 months i was suspicious a. One day i was in Macy's, saw the same perfume (on same price). I tried the tester and i realized that perfume at home is a cheap knock off.

Initially i though that Amazon did not store it properly and warehouse heat must have destroyed the smell. Then i saw one star reviews. For last 6 months people were complaining and getting refund for this perfume. My refund windows was already closed. Anyway, lesson learned. Amazon is a hit or miss these days like eBay.

Here is one example, 84$ Magpul sights. If you have never seen the original product, you cannot spot the difference.

...big media outlets protecting the corrupt status quo.

They are doing their job.

How many of us buy paper newspaper? How many of us have paid news site account? or browse news site without ad blocker. We want to read content without ads so they are selling this content. Media is writing PR piece and getting paid.

AirBNB can easily fix this issue by disallowing the hosts to reject the booking request if place is available. If host rejects the booking request, AirBNB can block them from renting out to other people for that time period. They can run analytics and find out who is rejecting to black sounding names and renting out afterward.

What are they doing?

"The scammers have "done their research" using publicly available information, including sites like Facebook, he said. They identify vulnerabilities to exploit."
