Cognitive dissonance of this poll I guess is that people voting by definition follow me. You all either don’t know, or studiously ignore, what I am.

Is that really the label you give yourself? You make thought-provoking entertainment. You serve as a foil. You write nerdy jargon-filled things for the very online crowd. You advocate for premium mediocrity. Only some people need to expense that as "management consulting".

Meh, it seems like you do the work for free. ::gestures around at your sprawling online complex:: Is "the work" really what they're paying for? People rationalize paying me with phrases like "user experience"—but what they're really buying seems to be penance, indulgences.

Umm... I don’t think ‘consulting’ means what you think 🤔 Nobody is paying to watch me shitpost. That’s the freemium tier.
