Was this just an episode to give Jacob a bunch of money? I don't know how to feel about that...
Yes. Specifically, it's an episode to give Jacob a bunch of LinkedIn's money.
It was pretty funny to me how blatantly rigged the rules were to ensure that Jacob walked away with 100% of the money. I think that the other "contestants" were in on the plan from the beginning. Notice how they all even blatantly flubbed the first pick drawing.
It took me some time to process, but I came around to: less money in the hands of LinkedIn and more money in the hands of Jacob W is probably a good thing for the world.
The baffling thing to me is that it was LinkedIn. Like, I'm sure Sam went with whoever was offering the most, but LinkedIn thinks the Dropout audience is a good target demographic for them? That at least feels unlikely, though perhaps the price tag was simply very small compared to what they normally work with. (Or maybe there's one or two people at LinkedIn who are into Dropout and managed to pitch it lol.)
Then again, I'm probably way out of the loop out that site. Or on how advertising works effectively.
Yeah, but why should Jacob get all the money and not just share it between themselves? I hardly believe that Jacob is the only person who is in need for money in the company. I don't mind much when it's smaller amounts of money, but 100k? That's SO much money!
