The “discount” “+$100” 💀

I wonder if this related to the uptick of the focus on cultural/artistic “taste” I’ve been noticing in the tech sphere (including in this very Wired article).

For context: I had an interview with a tech company that’s a secondary player in the AI sphere, and they asked me about Pierre Bourdieu and my “Pinterest aesthetic preferences” of all things. Very wtf moment.

The article isn’t paywalled.

But also, a Lemmy user not knowing how to skip paywalls/clear their cookies to avoid paywalls seems incongruous in my mind, idk why.
