I really liked Zitron’s interview with Adam Conover a few months back, it was a much more conversational version of this same overall premise.
I wanted to like this, but it fell really flat for me. He led with emotion and came across as bitter and angry, meandering around several examples and calling Facebook execs perverts. Those accusations could very well be true, but it always makes me question the legitimacy of the speaker because that’s such a common cheap shot in politics nowadays and it distracts from his main point.
I think we need more folks like Ed using their platforms to call out what they see because I think he’s right overall.
I didn't bother to watch, but I did skip ahead several times and it sounded like a sales pitch. Only one video at Ed's youtube. "Build companies that matter to customers that solve real problems."
