Exactly. So many people are commenting here about how self absorbed it is and “you should just be easier to work with”.

Some people are making valid points (the documents tend to be managers selling themselves, or making excuses for themselves), but teams need to know how each other work. Assuming “being easy to work with” means being easy to work the way you want is even more self-centered!

My wife is a teacher and starting school (in person) in a week and a half. There’s no answers to questions like:

- Do they have the budget for counseling when students and teachers pass away? - When a teacher gets sick, what substitute teacher is going to want to teach an exposed class (also, they’ll be making sub plans with covid?)? - When they’re sick are will they be getting additional sick leave? - Do they get worker’s compensation if they get sick, since they were knowingly sent into a dangerous environment?

What do you use Airtable for? I use it for personal projects and tasks but don’t have any idea of the uses for enterprise.

I've spent a lot of time considering Pocket Premium but the price point is just too high. Maybe if they roll in features from feedly and have a really nice RSS reader.

I also hate spending money on news that isn't going to journalists.

I'd have to disagree with you. There's tons of people who use them as a mobile-first service (my wife only ever uses the mobile app). I think a subset of tech/privacy savvy people don't like that they went to a cloud based model, but that's a small subset of a small subset.
