I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I thought so too. The ending was really a surprise, tho.

Re: Her sleeping with her ex, who cares.

Re: her deciding to give away all her money like Makenzie Scott tees up a much more interesting 2nd season!

Spoiler: show

But that was what was so surprising. She eschews the money and extravagance and the next thing we see is her in bed with the source of both. Was the first season a dream? Did she have second thoughts? What’s the real deal here?

Did you do WeCrashed, and if so, how does it compare? We want to do this one too but needed a break from the Silicon Valley setting (and had already seen the Holmes documentary)
