Exactly. GME is a legacy corporation they're trying to pivot into tech. You can't just pivot overnight and expect everybody to be onboard chasing the shiny new toy. There are definitely people out there that would buy into RCs vision and be experienced and smart enough to do it -- but, are they willing to take the risk on his vision in shares vs taking that risk with a healthy cash compensation package? He whines about the C-suites all over the world being vastly overpaid, and he's correct. But there's a line between paying for the talent you need that aligns with you want to do, and just taking your ball and going home because you don't want to bid what the market is asking for salary to do those things.

I don't live in the multi-billion dollar corporate circles, but I work in them. If I truly thought Furlong was "the guy" I wanted, I'd have been paying him over a million a year plus tiered growth stock incentives and cash bonuses. It lets the guy live his life as he was probably accustomed to coming over as a former division president of AMZN, and still gives him tangible accelerators and bonuses for company growth. A million bucks a year for a quality CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation is a bargain.

I'm not insulting household investors. Not most of them, at least. I'm insulating a lack of logical thinking pushed by malicious actors to set up a narrative like $200m or something could possibly happen. As for reddit being predominantly karma farming accounts and bots, yes, absolutely.

Just to add a quick note to this. There's almost nobody who's going to work as hard as RC. There's almost nobody who's going to WANT to work that hard. People like him -- he's got the same drive as every other billionaire. Accumulate more and more while trying to force others to see his "vision" This is not shitting on the guy at all, but when I saw Furlong's comp package when they hired him, I was like, "ai yi yi". See, RC already built a startup. He went through the pain and misery of having to find funding and VC money. He did earn his billions pretty honestly relative to a lot of the scheissters out there. Nobody coming on as CEO is going to have that same perspective. Furlong was a company man, and again, that's fine. The guy relocates across the world for a salary less than some of us here make, and they load him heavy with options on a stock that continued to trend down for the entirety of his stay there. If I was Furlong, I'd have felt grifted and been pissed. Check out the sales subreddit. This happens to people constantly in the startup and SAAS world. You're sold some VC's dream, and it doesn't do shit after 5 years and the company folds.

The great "vision" or whatever RC has, you're not going to find people willing to work for essentially free on your hopes and dreams. Outside of the board, nobody at that company can just faff about and afford to put their entire lives into that vision. If you want people to WORK, you compensate them properly. You hire people aligned with your strategy and you give them money. Stock is fine too, but sideways trading shares don't pay mortgages or medical bills.

Disappears for a while and then the same few users pop up spamming it with their generic karma farming post titles like, "The funny thing is they think it’s a joke. The funnier thing is they’ll think we’ll sell more than one share when it gets to our individual floors."

You have to be completely disconnected from reality to think that's even a remote possibility in an alternate universe. Furthermore, it does incredible damage to the community because it makes the holders look like gullible morons. Which tbf, many are.

I think she was just in temporarily until GME decided who to slot in as the full time CFO. Looks like they picked a guy who's been there for a couple years already doing tax stuff.

I think she was a placeholder anyways, wasn't she? At any rate, GME does have a lot of C-level turnover relative to other companies I interact with at that level.

She's been around forever too.

 

How do I make 300 lines of excel data visible here? I'm not gonna go through the effort to screenshot 60 different instances

It doesn't effect them at all, therefore it's extremely dangerous...

 

Different accounts for different reasons. New_acct got a random Ternion and Argentinium award one day for shitposting in the daily chat. Early on, I spent hundreds of dollars giving gold/plat to people in the daily. Pipbot, anyone? Onions?

About a dozen more I used for other subs and then reddit just clean-sweeped them all within a day.

I have you at 5 downvotes. You probably said some stupid shit early on. I actually don't have you tagged on RES. In my informal record keeping you're basically a decent person lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

And I can see you're still spamming over here lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

ONRRP is good info. All the ortex data is junk, as we all (hopefully) realized a long time ago.

It's containment. Don't let the people actually have free speech. Keep them in a little box and control that box until you have a narrative you've perfectly controlled.

Hi everyone! Fuck Reddit! (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)

Long, long story short, but I didn't even get banned from SS. I got my account(s) permanently suspended by reddit. (side note, reddit does not like if you overwrite and delete your account history every evening, just an fyi) Jsmar was the last decent SS mod. What happened to Half_dane, btw? Disappeared one day and that was it? He was probably a Rensole alt as best as I can figure.

There's probably nobody here that remembers who I was over my main/alt accounts, but I kept track and still keep track of users through RES and take notes. Every day, for years. I'm not going to go so far as to say ALL of the mods are plants at this point, but it's pretty close. SS sub is mostly spam accounts/bots/planted accounts/15-year-olds at this point. I have them all tagged and update my records when they do spam/bot things. There's almost no posters/commenters at this point that I haven't tagged, and I was suspended the day before thanksgiving last year. TL;DR There's not a lot of new users that comment in SS over the last year.

At any rate, hello. Nice to have a voice again.

I have some other devices I still downvote and report that stupid fucking starfish with every morning. The running 7.41 guy, and the dtcc comment guy. Then after market close I hit the sideways trading guy and the fucking "tomorrow" spammer.

None of those have anything to do with GME, all violate rule 2, and the mods certainly don't care to enforce the sub rules unless it hurts their personal feelers.

And as a final "hello" because this is a DRS GME sub. All my shit is DRSd, and I still don't believe it will actually do anything even if 200% of the outstanding shares are locked up in CS. There's bigger problems in the system and they're not gonna let their profit center collapse just because some retail folks bought up all the shares on paper. But they might, so I'm watching on the sidelines with the rest of you.
