  1. I had a fun party conversation! Because this is NYC, media, & it's a small city it was about a particular 2014 inexplicable ad campaign

      In case you haven't guessed already, it was about Lucas from Venmo. valleywag.gawker.com/venmo-everyone-hates-your-weirdo-subway-ads-1502663281 gothamist.com/2014/02/07/lucas_talks_venmo_subway_ads_the_ab.php bitsandbites.me/blog/2014/03/10/are-venmo-ads-working/

        Technology drives cos (especially tech cos) to treat labor (especially Millennials) unfairly by "optimizing" them aramzs.kinja.com/the-gig-economy-and-its-discontents-1686617213

          So I was especially interested to hear that, allegedly, Lucas, now subject of a meme generator, wasn't paid by Venmo for his participation.

            Now I'm wondering how fair it is companies might be recruiting their employees for ads, particularly effective ones maybe, & not paying them

              Further "optimization" of startup employees as they are pushed into becoming public figures w/o knowing what they are getting into?

                Also what does this do to/say about value of professionals who make-- at least partially, if not entirely--a living off of appearing in ads?

                  Worth noting that tech startups sure love freely or cheaply replacing labor that comes from visibly women-dominated industries.

                    You could say: 'he could have said no', but as I note in my article the pressure is heavy on startup employees to give all they've got

                      And most startup employees work contingent (especially in NYC), which means they can be fired any time for no reason.

                        So no, when you work in a startup and your boss says 'hey want to appear in a quarter-million+ ad campaign for free?' you prob can't say no.

                          Anyway, now wondering just how much uncompensated labor goes into startup/tech ad campaigns. If you fall into that category DM me.
