Or use it to forecast which ship's gonna sink next "Oh you made it to the Forbes cover? Congratulations and it was really great knowing you."

@Raja Balachandran Reminds me of the 2015-2018 era when having a media column used to be cool and a lot of unpaid contributors / columnists would feature just anyone and anything for cash. Fast forward to present, things haven't changed except the publications themselves accepting cash for features. Previously, you were to EARN the contributor accounts. Now, you must PAY an annual membership fee with major platforms in exchange you get to contribute X number of articles. The media industry used to be heavily EDITORIAL. Now, the focus is largely on ADVERTORIAL coverage disguised as editorial.
