Revealing Natalie's Salary

We've talked about this, but this is still one of my favorite deals. Yeah, was, uh, that dude— I fucking love this deal. It was because it was so funny. It was like Twitter came out with a robot or something. Yeah, an AI robot before AI was a thing. And like, people had to talk with it and you had to tweet at it. And it was like— I was— how much was it? It was like over $100 grand or something crazy. And I barely did any— I don't think I even did a post. And then they sent out an email saying, we're discontinuing the program, but we're still going to pay everybody their money because the robot started to respond to people in a racist way. The AI went rogue and people were tweeting racist things. So it was learning from the other people. Yeah. So, so it just went haywire and they had to stop the deal, but they still paid everybody out. Those are always, that's always the craziest thing in this business are kill fees. Mm-hmm. Like so many things, like, like there'll be so many gigs that like, even the, I feel like even like the last 2 months, like the, the, there'll be a, there'll be a brand that'll come like talk to us about doing a potential, potential deal and then they'll be like, sorry, we can't do this anymore. Here's X amount of money just for wasting your time, like, just for talking.
