This is my first real experience with tech businesses doing, I assume, what is the tech business way of doing things and...woo. It's a lot of "let us all reason together..." about a micro topic that's been defined in advance, whether or not that's what people wants to talk about
There's a lot of stress on the "iterative process" which, being experienced in real time, is "we hear your concerns and we'll keep them in mind moving forward."
It's basically watching a lot of young guys with good teeth role play customer service improv in real time.

Watching it, I think I can almost see where the idea of "virtue signaling" came from? Because all of these guys are being so professionally low-key, I can totally see an old rich white Republican VC finding their geniality a performance extending to all social interactions.
Which I get because I can't believe these people aren't at least a little frustrated? I mean, here, they're trying to give a presentation while having a chat window open where angry content providers are throwing virtual beer bottles at them IN REAL TIME.
This is like the Ivy League business major of playing in a punk band where everyone is spitting on you your whole set, but instead of playing punk, you're remixing elevator music on the fly.
Hold on, I think I can torture this analogy some more.
