“What are the things that are never going to change? People are still going to have pain points, they’re still going to have problems, they’re still going to have aspirations. To be a good business person […] you have to know how to talk to people and illicit a reaction. The people that are going to get screwed [by new privacy and tracking updates] are the ones that are overly confident, or even at times arrogant, in thinking that “if you create it, they will come.”
