Silicon Valley was grift from day 1.
Halsey continues to be the fakest woke (complimentary) celebrity.
So honey 2?
She’s very much her father’s daughter (extremely derogatory)
Baby’s first grift
If only someone related to her hadn’t incentivized this kind of outcome.
It’s like Dunder Mifflin Infinity

Fixed the title, you are welcome
It smelt like a scam from the get go
Stanford-core is scamming
it’s literally the same grift as Honey with extra steps
lock her up lmao
It’s giving Ryan and Dunder Mifflin Infinity
ad fraud from user installed spyware, shocking.
Girl boss girl-bossing
The nepo klepto.
So many times I’ve heard about how Bill Gates is a good billionaire and a good dad because he wanted them to learn to make their own money instead of inheriting his fortune.
Well. We’ve learned a lot about her dad’s idea of how young women should earn money. So if I’m trying to be fair, I can’t blame her for being a grifting fool with that kind of sparkling support system at home. But the whole family are a bunch of plotlines from Industry. It’s disgusting that we have to constantly defend ourselves from their corruption.
the laziest screenwriter of all time just shot up out of bed to write the worst script for the worst limited series you’ve ever seen
The gang learns about marketing attribution
I know that’s not the point but it bothers me that Phoebe is not named but only referred to in relation to her father in the title of the post.
A woman can grift independently from any male relative’s grift.
Ben Edelman here, author of technical analysis on which Bloomberg relied. Write-up with evidence: [https://www.benedelman.org/phia-forced-clicks/](https://www.benedelman.org/phia-forced-clicks/) . Happy to discuss with anyone interested.
Lmao. Also crazy to see this cause her business partner, Sophie, is non stop posting LinkedIn like this app is the second coming of Jesus
Always perplexing when absurdly wealthy people do things like found online shopping apps. What’s the point? I feel like if I had enough money to last me a thousand lifetimes, I’d do things that were enjoyable and unrelated to generating even further profit
Capitalism is a disease
Surprised she’s not on the Forbes 30 under 30
Disappointed but not surprised seeing Halsey on the list of investors.
Isn’t this the problem with modern businesses ? Who gives AFF who invests in a start up. They don’t have to like it, agree with it, or even think it’s any good – just that it makes money.
2nd major violation by this company – automatic disqualification from any investor consideration, let alone a consumer’s participation!
The second I saw Sydney and Karlie were involved, immediately no
Wow. Sweeney, Kloss. So maga.
