Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

i mean yeah, it's a website whose explicit purpose is for workers to market themselves to capital. it's designed to bring out the absolute worst in people
The whole site also seems to assume you are the capitalist and not the worker.
Also telling workers to build “their person brand.” Like I need to be a goddamn industry celebrity just to start my life. What’s the point if porky’s picky ass will never notice?
Yea, part of capitalist cultural hegemony is that you are supposed to identify with the CEO's/bourgeoisie and not the ones getting exploited. That's why so many of them post the bullshit rags to riches story (omitting that whoever rose to riches was already super rich or just lucky) so that it seems like you are just on the cusp of becoming one of them
