Convincing marketing/lobbying maybe

Luckily the writer of the article understands that there is more to it than attracting 'the best' workers:

This week alone, US companies have taken over two UK tech businesses, and Mr Kassai doesn't seem surprised.

"Shareholders, investors, board members are going to find the highest bidder and the US tends to pay more," he said.

"There's four times as much capital invested into startup companies than there is in the whole of Europe, so naturally when it comes through a sale, the US is often able to pay a higher price."

A lot of advertising is annoying and misleading, even good advertising can lead to people buying stuff they don't need. I am definitely not pro-advertising but it does serve more than monopolistic capitalism, especially on a more local level.

I 100% agree and totally get why I am being downvoted, but just disabling advertising or banning tracking cookies are not a magic fix to save the internet from the perspective of the companies that now show these ads. But I am definitely I favour of changes, the enshittication went way to far already. But there is more than big social media platforms is what I mean to say.

To be honest, even though kidnapping a eu official is a much bigger deal than a Swedish citizen, I totally understand why Greta's involvement lead the news before. But now Greta is safe is am really glad the news is continuing to cover this. Could be more, yes, but if this happened last year there would be a lot less news coverage for sure.

Netanyahu fits that list no doubt

I understand every single word and am up to date about what's happening in LA and some other places, but can't make sense of this. Can someone please simplify this for me?

I agree, but their journey has been a lot more influential than your average protest (we need both).

In real life i try to give people the benefit of the doubt, try to stand up for the underdog, give people second chances etc but in my life i've come to see that, unlike in real life, there are actors who want to come across like regular people but are not really a regular guy with just another opinion. I have no clue about this user in particular, but i tend to be extra sceptical when it's about a controversial topic - especially if a country, community or company involved who has in other cases hired people to influence opinions via social media. Isreal is one of those, so something like them never responding is more sus than when it's some unimportant topic. Still think it's good to be a positive person, but you might lend someone a hand you wouldn't if you knew their true intention (though again, i dont know what this guys intention is).

Maybe with an all-star cast lol jk

which can happen from time to time.

In those cases someone will likely respond or edit the comment to show they didn't mean it in a bad way or something. Staying silent after making a point is more on point for someone who knew exactly what their comment will cause. You might be right, but I am not putting my money on that in this case.
