“Yes, those unwitting pawns that seek to educate themselves on subjects relevant to their lives and careers are actually doing themselves harm. Ignorance is bliss and worth more in the marketplace”.
The only thing that is still humorous about this stale joke is that business magazines continue to alienate their core audiences of MBA recipients.
Another thing amusing about this post is the comparison of publishing-centric websites to high-tech startups. For typical content sites, a large engineering staff is a sign of inefficiency and bloat. Small, generalist technical staffs that use tools and services from the marketplace would indicate a more efficient operation and better valuation.
