    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.

Tech companies are racing to build data centers in space, pitching orbital compute as the next frontier for AI infrastructure, even as the technical and economic realities remain far from clear.
