Parody. If you have a Bloomberg terminal then probably many of the people you interact with at work also have Bloomberg subscriptions. Imagine some tech worker in Silicon Valley trying to flex some employer-provided top-of-the-range MacBook. The price isn’t the same but the idea that it won’t impress the in-group is.

The SV equivalent is the corporate badge casually clipped to the belt while having lunch/coffee/drinks/dinner.

Maybe it's like teamblind? IIRC you need to sign up to them using your work e mail. And it's authwalled so can't really be read without an account.
