To be fair, they also want to be bought up (rebranding), after multiple buy-outs and mass-layoffs.

For things before 2023, there was sexual harassment (multiple) bullying and hostile workplace and their excitement over NFT. They had a boys club and made it a really toxic atmosphere, where the CCO literally said "Women don't sell".

If only instead of each one micromanaging our purchases there could be a system set up to thwart the bad corporate behavior in a broad and systemic way, with the dedicated pros doing oversight professionally.

That's ridiculous. It would take some sort of centralized entity designed to represent the will of the populace. I wouldn't even know where to start to create such a thing.

The website that pulls this off would get the $2.75 I keep not giving Wikipedia.
