  • In this market I imagine this has transpired:

    Employee: “Customers are not seeing the value on the service priced at 4X of an economy seat. Let’s offer first class at a discount. Market research shows customers willing to pay a premium markup of up to 2X for it.”

    Boss: “Great idea, let’s increase plane occupancy by making more economy premium seats and marking up all of them 2X!”

    Boss gets bonus for innovation and promotion. Employee gets RTO orders, 1% merit increase, 2% COLA adjustment and a pizza party from the boss to thank for being part of the AA family!

    Well said on all bullets!

    I’ve been getting around the addictive nature of it by doing the following:

    First deleted YouTube app and bookmarked Invidious links, that way if I want to find some specific video I can just search for it and not be bothered by ads or algorithm suggestions that are made to keep me in the loop of doom.

    Second I’ve loaded epub copy of books I am currently reading on kindle or on paper to my phone, and made the Books and Kindle apps prominent next to Invidious, so when I am tempted to look for videos I can instead replace with reading books I have on my list.

    My video watching habit has reduced drastically, mostly down to searching for diy fixes.
