Dear Fedi friends, I need your help.

If by any chance any of you have saved the video of #WSocial CEO Anna Zeiter's presentation at the Monaco AI conference (uploaded to YouTube on May 21) I would be ETERNALLY grateful.

The 35 minute video included priceless quotes like: "Yes we have a business model, it's not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money."

Following the publication of my exposé, the video has been removed from YouTube!

... which should make you wonder even more why they chose to have this video deleted.

The answer is obvious, by the way. Acting like a charity is how they plan to build their business. Play their game if you want to, we won't.

I genuinely had no idea what any of this was about until I saw the MEGA hat in the header there. Goodness gracious…
