Welcome, FWs, to Tribunal Tuesdays.
It may feel like the struggle for a fairer world at work is more distant than ever. You are not alone.
However, we often forget: When we fight, we can WIN. Read on about the victories workers like you took on the boss this week.

this dude swiped right 2 million times & got one date. heโs not just some unlucky guy, he is the norm.. like imagine the money he spent over five years, probably a small fortune. this is obvious but whatโs actually nonobvious is that his behavior unlocked an entirely new revenue stream for apps. let me explain.
most people donโt realize that one of the biggest revenue unlocks in dating apps was when they figured out how to subtly turn women from users into paying customers. by leveraging guys like this who flood the system with likes (these dudes were already heavy paid users, thus monetized).
when women get bombarded with likes, flattery, attention, it triggers this shopping mentality, men become products, & women become discerning consumers. womenโs standards shoot through the roof. apps capitalize on this by introducing premium filters (like height, etc.) to help women weed out most dudes. features like sending roses or boosting profiles fit perfectly into this dynamic.
over time, women start believing that paying will show them the top 2% of men, the most desirable. so they start subscribing too, convinced that a premium membership means premium matches. itโs like shopping at aritizia vs zara, more expensive means more perceived quality.
this is how dating apps monetized both sides at scale, men desperately trying to be seen, & women paying not to see them. itโs a zero marginal cost product that doubled revenue just by making chaos profitable. pretty incredible if you think about it.
i wrote a quick post on this below.
@EcoTechBro@Zeronelite Oh I literally just DMd about your opinions on this! Yes I dont think it detracts from his philosophical work, it almost seems to exist within a vacuum of his political thought considering how totally different that article was to his other work.
๐จOn Wednesday, Ms Leadbeater put forward an amendment to the #assistedsuicide bill which confirmed that having a mental disorder or disability would not disqualify someone from accessing the service.
@CeXSupport Ive sent another DM. You've had my package lost for over a fortnight and ignored my every request to sort it. I'll simply get the bank to refund me if you wont do anything.
