Is there unethical business model

 Every company needs resources to sustain itself. Those can be people, money, equipment and so on.

So how the company will get those resources and how it will reach to their target customers is part of the business model discussion.

Just because something is not illegal, does it mean it is ethical?

It is a big question to answer. South park, being South Park had interesting thing to say and made fun of.

The freemium business model. I really enjoyed their parody, because in a way this is how social media condition us today.

Never ending scrolls. Multimedia after multimedia, and the illusion we are in control.

In reality, it is the algorithms in control. Those same algorithms that we all feed with our behavior.

In a way, we teach the machines how to slave us.

Just look at this video and think about if the things you use promote such behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OazF-sH1D5A

If yes, would you change something in your own behavior and life?

The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
