Shingy gets a lot of hate. I get it. He looks goofy. He was literally AOL's "Digital Prophet". It's all readily mockable. I mocked him myself; but I've changed my mind. A few years ago, he gave an interview with New York Magazine[0], and its eye opening. He was just a marketing guy that fell into an internal evangelist role, because he could talk to people at AOL that still had no idea what the internet was. I really recommend reading it. I came away thinking he wasn't the cartoon everyone thinks he is. [0] https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/shingy-reflects-on-h... |
