<p>it's voluntary and a nice incentive for those whose have spent time on getting familiar with the systems.<p>also given that nowadays most bounty hunters have some level of automation don't see the issue of getting paid by the task instead of the by the hour. diversification of source of income is always good :)</p>

<p>co-worker started reading "Extreme Ownership" and it improved his mindset and approach to problems. at the same time became extremely unbearable towards own team. if someone was complaining it was hard to get follow-up on a task from someone external he'd jump in and say "you're not owning it".<p>the tipping point for me was when he started preaching "Never Split the Difference". he'd gotten so cocky to the point he'd start meetings with "I already know how this is gonna end".<p>i don't mind these books as long as they come from a place of need, but it seems the main crowd are wannabe master manipulators. also, they can often be distilled to a couple chapters, not sure why they're so long.</p>

<p>exactly, but it doesn’t pertain to you until you pay.<p>if we assume there’s a directional graph with edges labeled as “visited”. what linkedin is offering is to traverse it backwards for a fee.<p>what they’re demanding is ludicrous. pure entitlement that would have horrible ramifications for all social media platforms.<p>should a gdpr export include who has unliked/unreposted your posts too? it definitely pertains to you.</p>

<p>don't see the issue, the data of who visited my profile belongs first to the visitor and to me iff i pay for it. seems pretty clear, no?</p>

<p>> that there's nobody of value on those platforms so now you say people should stop wanting to connect in the first place<p>that's exactly what i said and not a figment of your imagination.<p>if your social circle mostly exists on instagram like the person that i was replying to mentioned :), then you have no social life. any of these platforms is just an add-on to real social interaction. prioritize the real thing and the platform stops mattering.<p>> social media is a cancer<p>it isn't but your comment is.</p>

<p>this is a very 21st century thing, the ability to know what everyone is doing at any time. extremely voyeuristic too.<p>the only social circle that truly matters is the geographically close one. no amount of E2EE or fancy chat app will replace being physically present.</p>
