Let’s see if they can outcompete The Escapist’s new series: Zero Employees

I can’t wait for them to pivot to an ASMR channel with such classics as “hvac system comes on in empty office” and “executives celebrate cutting costs with golden parachute openings.”

24 hours from mass exodus to new startup, must be some kind of record

Man the SEO on that name is terrible

Yeah, I’m not sure they put much thought into the brand name, hopefully the product will elevate it! And maybe it’ll keep acquisition companies from knocking on their door?

Thanks for linking it so I don’t need to open up Ex-Twitter.

The channel has 25K subscribers with no videos or anything. I love it.
