    zero information. honestly how can you even call this reporting. do the research, then share it…don’t just report the hype that you hear on other news sites.

      One of the presenter recently wrote an article about influencers being a hot trend. Geniunely thought it was an article that was accidentally reposted from 2014-2015ish; until I looked at the date – NOV 2019!! Influencers with large followers (mostly bots) on IG bring no value to advertisers, i.e. sauce-less bunch. There were abundance of articles written about this whole phenomena and its controversial incidents. When it comes to their spending, big companies aren’t that stupid and realised they [influencers] were bunch of charlatan that would spew and shill anything, for the right price. Not worth the risk of having a closet racist/homophobic/pedophile as the face of your brand; see all the “influencers” who’ve lost their sponsorship deals after little digging. Officially unsubbed!

      ​@M Man haha exactly. Like they admit in this episode that they made the video without doing any research on all the companies Softbank holds…..but they still thought it was worth them posting lol….actually admitting to making and posting spam.

The SpaceX S-1 is finally here, and the story it tells goes way further than rockets. The filing runs to 36 pages of risk factors alone, and the numbers inside match the ambition: a $28 trillion total addressable market, a pay package tied to establishing a Mars colony, and a valuation target that would make it the largest IPO in American history.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into the week’s biggest talent shakeups, acquisitions, and headlines — including what the filing actually says and whether any of this math connects to reality.
