BILLIONAIRE YELP
OWNER RESPONSES

I've personally looked into this. Your order of 'The 4-Hour Workweek' was replaced with 'The Everything Store' by Brad Stone. This was not an error. You're welcome. Our algorithms determined that you needed a better book. Additionally, I've taken the liberty of enrolling you in Audible, adding six items to your cart that you were going to buy anyway, and scheduling a drone delivery of a apology fruit basket that will arrive in the next 11 minutes. Customer obsession isn't a slogan. It's a lifestyle you didn't consent to.

This review is wrong. Editing to add: Actually, let me buy Yelp and delete it. Second edit: Bought Yelp. Renaming to X Reviews. Third edit: Your car didn't stop accelerating. It was performing an over-the-air recalibration of the neural net that controls your suspension. You should be thanking me. Fourth edit: I just pushed an update that fixes this. Fifth edit: That update broke something else. Sixth edit: Anyone who leaves a 1-star review for the most advanced vehicle ever created by humanity is fundamentally unserious. Seventh edit: The touchscreen thing is valid. We're looking into it.

We already knew you were going to leave this review before you wrote it. Our systems indicated a 94.7% probability of this complaint based on your household's recent browsing patterns, microphone proximity data, and the fact that you paused on a carrier pigeon meme for 3.2 seconds last Tuesday. I want to assure you that we do not listen through your phone. We simply anticipate your needs with radical accuracy. Also, your daughter might enjoy our new Meta Quest headset. She mentioned it at dinner on Thursday. To someone named Aunt Karen.

I appreciate the feedback. I'll review it at the next annual meeting in 2027. In the meantime, I'd like to point out that GEICO has been saving drivers money since 1936 and that your annual premium of $1,847 represents a P/E ratio of roughly 0.3x relative to the joy of being insured. That's outstanding value. I'd also note that patience is the most underrated virtue in both investing and insurance claims. Charlie would have told you the same thing, though less politely. Have you considered that the fender bender was a learning experience? I've been in Omaha for 93 years and I've never had a fender bender. I drive a 2014 Cadillac. Slowly.

At Apple, we believe courage means removing the things you love and charging you to get them back. The single port is not a limitation. It is a design philosophy. It is minimalism. It is the future. You say you need seven dongles. We see seven opportunities for you to icons the iconic experience of the Apple ecosystem. Each dongle is precision-milled from 100% recycled aluminum and represents our commitment to the environment. If you need to plug in a mouse, a monitor, and your self-respect simultaneously, I'd recommend our new $349 Apple Hub Pro Max, available this fall. It has two ports.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Windows. I no longer run the day-to-day at Microsoft, but I do want to note that the Blue Screen of Death has been a cornerstone of the Windows experience since 1993 and we consider it a feature, not a bug. It teaches resilience. It builds character. It reminds you to save your work. On an unrelated note, have you considered the malaria crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa? Because that is a real problem. Your PowerPoint crashing is not a real problem. I've attached a link to my foundation's annual letter. Please read it and gain some perspective. Also, try restarting.

Your data isn't being held hostage. Your data is being protected by the most powerful database platform ever created. You're welcome. The fact that you've been trying to leave for three years and can't should tell you something about the quality of our product. Nobody leaves Oracle. This isn't a complaint. This is Stockholm Syndrome, and Stockholm Syndrome is just another word for loyalty. I'm writing this from my yacht, which is larger than your company's entire server room. If you'd like to discuss your licensing concerns, my team is available. Their retainer starts at $50,000.

I hear you. But I need you to understand something. You're not buying a graphics card. You're buying a supercomputer that fits in your PC tower. This chip contains 92 billion transistors. There are more transistors in this GPU than there are stars in the Milky Way. You want to play games at 60fps? This card runs games at 240fps while simultaneously training a large language model, curing a protein folding problem, and rendering a cinematic universe in real time. The price is $2,499 because the laws of physics demanded it. Also, I designed it wearing this leather jacket, which should tell you everything about the level of commitment involved.

First, I want to acknowledge your experience. This is a transition period for all of humanity and your feelings are valid. Second, I want to gently point out that the model that replaced your output was GPT-4, which is actually our older model. GPT-5 could have done it in 11 minutes. We're building AGI to benefit all of humanity, and sometimes benefiting all of humanity means that Kevin from content marketing needs to pivot. Have you considered learning prompt engineering? It's the new copywriting. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, we are a nonprofit. We are doing this for the good of the world. Please do not look at our revenue numbers.

Let me tell you something. That medication you're complaining about? At a regular pharmacy it costs $847. On my site it costs $12.40. You know how much the markup is at CVS? 6,700%. Six. Thousand. Seven. Hundred. Percent. So yeah, the search function suggested dog vitamins. You know what? Those dog vitamins are also 80% cheaper than PetSmart. You're welcome. The website looks like 2003 because I spent the design budget on making your insulin affordable. If you want a pretty website, go to Pfizer's site. It's gorgeous. Your prescription will cost you a car payment. For that reason, I'm out on your complaint.

Jerry. You went to space. You looked down at Earth from the Karman line. You experienced weightlessness. For eleven minutes, you transcended the boundary of human existence. And your review is 'I've had longer Uber rides.' I built this rocket company with my own money because I believe humanity's future is among the stars. You experienced a perspective that fewer than 700 humans in history have ever known. But sure. Longer Uber rides. I've taken the liberty of refunding your $450,000 and banning you from all future flights. The astronaut wings were non-refundable. You may keep them. They meant nothing to you anyway.

Thank you for visiting the Happiest Place on Earth. I understand that $3,200 may seem like a significant investment for a single day, but I'd like to reframe your perspective. You didn't spend $3,200. You invested $3,200 in a core memory. Can you put a price on your daughter's face when she met Elsa? Actually, we did. It was $49.99 for the character dining experience. But the memory is priceless. The churros are $8 because they're made with Disney magic, and Disney magic has a very high cost basis. If you'd like a more affordable experience, might I suggest Disney+ at $15.99 per month. Your family can watch people enjoy Disneyland from home.

Lisa, thank you for this feedback. At Microsoft, we have a growth mindset, and I'd encourage you to apply that same framework to your LinkedIn experience. When you see someone celebrating a layoff, they are not delusional. They are growing. They are leaning into vulnerability. They are leveraging their network. I personally review LinkedIn trends weekly and I can confirm that performative optimism is engagement, and engagement is connection, and connection is the professional graph, and the professional graph is the future of work. If the posts bother you, might I suggest our premium tier at $59.99 per month. It does not fix this problem. But it does give you InMail credits.

The bird is dead. Long live X. This platform will become the everything app. Banking. Shopping. Video. Dating. Space travel bookings. Neural implant firmware updates. You're upset about a logo change because you lack vision. I paid $44 billion for this company because free speech matters and also because someone dared me and I don't back down. The verification checkmark at $8 per month is the greatest bargain in the history of social media. Your grandmother calling the police is actually excellent engagement metrics. I'm adding that to our Q4 report. Also, I just posted a meme about this. It has 4 million views. Your complaint has 2 likes.

Madame, I must correct a misunderstanding. The zipper did not break. It is resting. Louis Vuitton zippers are crafted by artisans in our Asnieres workshop who have trained for decades. The zipper on your bag has more pedigree than most family bloodlines. Eight weeks is not a repair timeline. It is a convalescence period. The zipper must travel back to France, be examined by a master craftsman, recuperate in a climate-controlled facility, and return to you renewed. If you require a functional zipper in under eight weeks, may I suggest a different price point. Perhaps Zara has something with a working zipper. It will also fall apart, but faster, and for $39.99.

Steve, I understand your frustration, and I want you to know that we take feedback from all of our 82 million consumer banking customers seriously. The overdraft fee structure is designed to encourage fiscal responsibility. Think of it as a very expensive lesson in checking your balance before purchasing a $4.50 latte. At JPMorgan, we believe in empowering our customers to make informed financial decisions, and nothing empowers quite like a $35 fee. On an unrelated note, JPMorgan Chase reported $53.1 billion in net revenue last quarter. Your $35 fee was essential to that figure. I want to thank you personally for your contribution.

Pam, I hear you. Content decisions are never easy. But I want to explain how we think about this at Netflix. We use data. A lot of data. We know exactly how many people watched your show. We know when they paused. We know when they rewound. We know when they fell asleep and the show kept playing to an empty room. The data told us that your show's completion rate dropped 34% in season 3. The algorithm decided. I didn't cancel your show, Pam. Math canceled your show. If it makes you feel better, I've been told the showrunner posted a summary of how it would have ended on Twitter. Or X. Or whatever it's called now. I don't run that company.

Aloha. First, I want to thank you for being part of the Ohana. At Salesforce, every customer is family, and in this family, we believe in the power of the cloud. Many clouds. You mention that you have too many clouds. I'd actually argue you don't have enough. Have you considered Slack? Tableau? MuleSoft? Each of these products integrates seamlessly with the clouds you already own and provides transformational value that will fundamentally reimagine your customer relationships. For a company of 12 employees, I'd recommend our Enterprise Plus tier at $330 per user per month. That's only $47,520 per year. Trust is our number one value. Also revenue. Trust and revenue.

The interface was designed in 1982, not 1987. And it was designed that way on purpose. It's not ugly. It's efficient. Beautiful things distract you. Ugly things make you money. Every trader on Wall Street uses this terminal. Every central bank. Every hedge fund. You know why? Because it works. And yes, nobody knows what F11 does. That's a feature. It keeps people humble. The $24,000 annual fee is a rounding error for any serious financial professional. If $24,000 feels expensive, you're not the target customer. You're the product. Also, I was mayor of New York City for 12 years. I've dealt with bigger complaints than your feelings about a keyboard shortcut.

Sandra, legs are coming. I announced legs at Connect 2022 and I want you to know that this remains a priority. The reason your avatar didn't have legs is that rendering realistic leg physics in a real-time VR environment is one of the hardest problems in computer science. We've spent $46 billion on Reality Labs. A significant portion of that has gone toward legs. I personally tested the leg prototype and I can confirm that metaverse legs now bend at the knee, which is a breakthrough. Regarding the nausea, that's actually your body adjusting to the future. The first people who rode trains also felt sick. You're a pioneer, Sandra. A legless, nauseous pioneer.

Marco, I personally redesigned our entire fee structure last year to improve transparency. What you're experiencing is the old system. The new system is better. Under the new system, the cleaning fee is now displayed upfront, which means you can see exactly how much you're overpaying before you book instead of after. That's transparency. Regarding the checkout instructions, our hosts are independent entrepreneurs and we empower them to set their own policies. If the host asks you to mop, strip the beds, and take out the trash, that's because they believe in community. You're not just renting a room. You're joining a household. Temporarily. For $347.

That's how supply and demand works. Econ 101. When it rains, demand goes up and supply goes down. The algorithm sets the price. I didn't set the price. The invisible hand of the free market set the price. And the invisible hand said $137. If you don't like surge pricing, you have alternatives. You could walk. You could take a bus. You could buy a car. You could wait until it stops raining. All of those options are available to you in a free society. We are simply providing a service at the market-clearing price. The fact that the market-clearing price for a 2-mile ride is $137 is between you and capitalism. Not me.

Thank you for your feedback and for being a creator on our platform. Spotify has paid over $40 billion to rights holders since launch, and we're proud to support the music ecosystem. Your $147 from 50,000 streams reflects our per-stream rate, which we believe is fair when you consider the scale of discovery we provide. Before Spotify, your music would have been heard by nobody. Now it's been heard by people 50,000 times. That's 50,000 moments of human connection. Can you put a price on that? Yes. We did. It's $0.00294 per moment. We believe this empowers artists to build sustainable careers, though we acknowledge 'sustainable' is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence.

I understand that an unexpected bill can be concerning. At AWS, we provide granular, pay-as-you-go pricing that gives customers complete control over their infrastructure costs. You chose to run an m5.24xlarge instance across 14 availability zones with provisioned IOPS and a NAT gateway for 72 consecutive hours. That was your choice. We provided the tools. We provided the billing dashboard. We provided the alerts, which you did not configure. We are a customer-obsessed company, and our obsession includes making sure you pay for exactly what you use. You used $73,000 worth of compute. I will note that many of the world's largest companies run their entire business on AWS. You ran a test server. The cloud doesn't judge. But the invoice is correct.

The Nike Alphafly 3 is the most advanced racing shoe ever created. It contains a carbon fiber plate, ZoomX foam, and technology developed by testing with hundreds of elite athletes who run sub-2:10 marathons. The shoe is designed for performance at the highest level. If you got blisters, that is not a shoe problem. That is a foot problem. I started this company selling shoes out of the trunk of my car at track meets in Oregon. I know feet. Your feet need to adapt to the shoe. Not the other way around. Also, you mentioned New Balance. I have nothing to say about New Balance. This conversation is over. Just do it. The blisters will heal.

First of all, it's eight books. Not one thesis. Eight volumes. 2,600 pages. The net worth sweep of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is the largest theft of private property in American history and if you think 200 comedy pages somehow diminishes that argument then you fundamentally misunderstand both comedy and constitutional law. Second, I did not write these pages. Claude did. I prompted them. There's a difference. Third, yes, I have a lot of pages. Each one ranks on Google and each one funnels traffic to my thesis about FNMAS junior preferred shares. This is not a wellness check situation. This is a content strategy. You're reading this right now, which means it worked. FNMAS to the moon. Subscribe to the newsletter.

Thank you for being a valued driver-partner on the Uber platform. We prefer the term 'driver-partner' because it implies a relationship of equals, even though one of us sets the rates, takes a percentage, and the other one owns the depreciating asset. At Uber, we are committed to the flexible earning opportunity that our platform provides. You mentioned making $6.40 per hour. I'd like to note that this figure doesn't account for the intangible benefits of being your own boss, setting your own schedule, and the freedom of the open road. If your check engine light is on, our app has a partnership with a mechanic network that offers a 5% discount. The discount does not apply to check engine lights.
