The Verge investigation was done by Zoë Schiffer, a “millennial woman.” June 30/July 1: On an Instagram AMA, returned co-CEO Korey answered a question about "women being targeted by the media" (I presume the AMA went in that direction) by talking about media having an incentive to clickbait in the social media era that and women (like her) were targeted because women are supposed to be motherly, ambitious women like Hillary are targeted by the media, some millennial women who work in the media forgo their ethics to advance their career because old media ethics are being eroded. She came back as co-CEO in January because she 'should not have fallen on the sword.' Korey stepped down as CEO in December, with another CEO to be selected. In December 2019, an elaborate investigation was posted by The Verge (not the NYT, important) about the toxic work culture at Away, with the CEO, Steph Corey, calling workers brain dead and firing someone based on chat in an internal private Slack channel called #Hot-Topics "filled with LGBTQ folks and people of color" (from article). ( No, seriously, look at the stories she gets to write. The New York Times has hired a reporter, Taylor Lorenz, specifically for "Internet Culture" i.e. It’s about travel." It is treated like a tech company by VCs for some godforsaken reason (it has raised $100 million at a $1.4 billion valuation), and the CEO uses a lot of Lean In rhetoric (female led, inclusive etc.) Hardcover suitcases that cost $225 and above. It is still in private beta, has only 1500 users and yet somehow venture capitalists have $12 million invested at a $100 milion dollar valuation in this.
You know all those stories of people interrupting Zoom calls by spamming the link and getting in? What if that, as a business model.
