Straight from the Mail Bag: Media Ops!

Oh, back to the mail bag.

I usually just dump a bunch of headlines into a list and call it a day for one of these posts, just to show you what shows up in my inbox.  But this time around I have a theme.

I asked an AI to make me a mailbag full of spam and got a dumpster

Something happened in April and interview offers and “media ops” were suddenly a thing in my email account.

Seriously, this was a complete unprecedented burst of activity.  I pulled out and list below the subject lines for 71 different interview opportunity email messages that I received in April.

I can hear you saying, “Well, 71 isn’t THAT many email messages.”  And you are correct.  But I also got the usual amount of other messages… plus, I managed to get two or three… and a couple of time four… versions of the same email on different days.  So 71 is after I filtered out nearly as many duplicates.

And what sort of topics did various publicity agencies think were suitable for this site?  What interviews did they feel would add value here?  Well, head on down the list.

I think there are maybe five headlines in there that even involve video games.  Lots on Bitcoin and careers and AI and other things not very much on the topic of this site.

I did find the one from the “Fortune 100 CEO” about re-entering the workforce to be perhaps the least likely to involve anything useful or interesting.  A CEO of a big company is generally so detached from the day to day work of the company that their idea of what people actually do is generally absurd.

Also, advice from rich people is generally bad.  The first rule of rich people club is don’t help other people join rich people club.

Anyway, another glimpse behind the scenes here.
