These endlessly-long one-minute videos assault you with platitudes about the riches to be gained by churning out all-but-unwatchable videos on the riches to be gained by churning out all-but-unwatchable videos.
I've suffered through a lot of these videos, not unlike a soldier during the Bataan Death March. My LinkedIn Content Death March lasts just 60 seconds or so, not 66 miles of the aforementioned, and though I'm usually seated in an expensive Aeron chair in patriarchy-ambient climate conditions, they are no-less-excruciating.
And they work.
Gary Vaynerchuk, spewing unshaven platitudes like a coked-out Hallmark card has millions of followers. And the winsome blonde, Shay Rowbottom (yes, that's her name) has been heralded by Shay Rowbottom as the next Gary Vaynerchuk, aka the male Shay Rowbottom. Here is one of Shay's videos.
So here goes, a transcript of my first call-in show:
