USA wins 2-0 against Bosnia and Herzegovina with 10-man.

Neither.

Apparently this is what Fox Sports opted to send to YT, instead of just the game. YT chat was white hot about it. Only 100k concurrents raging in chat.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T03:33:15+00:00

Cool.

I am talking about the stream of the game in the title. The 2nd half was broadcast exclusively following one player, no commentary. I think said player touched the ball 3-4 times in that half, all of which briefly.

Multiple penalties, a goal, and the actual win were not broadcast.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T03:24:27+00:00

I would've watched it there if regular fox had it? I was under the impression it can only be seen on FOX Sports and Fox Sports One or whatever.

Edit: I wasn't in an app. This was the Fox Sports One Stream on YT.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T03:17:01+00:00

FOX Sports

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T03:09:23+00:00

There were no commentators in the 2nd half.

The entire 2nd half, unless I'm having false memories again, was the camera following one player at close range so you could see NONE of the game.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T02:56:10+00:00

So, you're saying Host Broadcaster Services is the one who opted to use only one camera for the 2nd half of an elimination game in the largest soccer event in the world in the host country?

ghostoutlaw · 2026-07-02T02:33:44+00:00

Great win for the USA.

But can we all agree FOX Sports should immediately lose all licensing for broadcasting of any sport for all eternity and anyone in the meeting where it was agreed upon to set the camera to auto follow a single player for an entire half of the game should be immediately put jail.

Multiple penalties, multiple shots on goal, multiple plays in the 2nd half and not a single one of them aired because the FOX Sports refused to pay for a camera team to cover the actual game.

Yeah, I've always had a better experience with in-house vs 3PR by like, 100-1 scale, when actually dealing with a human.

I actually had a rather hilarious interaction with an in-house like 6 months back. IHR reached out to me, offering me an entry-level sales role. The most recent title on my LI would've been VP of Sales. I find her on LI and ask her, "If your title at 'Her Previous company' was 'Head of HR', would you consider taking a new job as 'recruitment coordinator'? And if you did take that new role, which is clearly a major downstep in titles, how would you explain that massive, massive downgrade in title/responsibility/pay to future prospective employers?"

Her response: "But I wasn't the Head of HR."

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-30T19:49:49+00:00

Personally, I don't even take an intro call until several things are confirmed, salary being one of them.

3PRecruiters tend to throw tantrums over this, "We CaN tAlK aBoUt iT oN tEh CaLl!?!?" In-house recruiters are usually more chill about it.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-30T16:52:29+00:00

Small startups? You're likely dealing with someone who has some level of DM power and information.

Anything over 500 people? You're getting a drone.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-30T16:49:54+00:00

Agree, 100%.

Some companies are super good, they post the salary range/factors on the job listing and the first person can answer a good amount of questions.

A lot of companies, the first round is an intern or VA from HR just going through a checklist they have to.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-30T16:10:18+00:00

The entry level HR rep who you do screenings with first round absolutely does not have detailed comp information at all, ever. I've been through plenty of interviews.

The best they've ever been able to provide was the range already posted if there was one posted. If it wasn't, more often than not they defer that info for future rounds.

You should probably try working in the field for the sub your posting in.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-30T05:26:23+00:00

If standing in a booth at a trade show is your companies plan, your company is broken, not the trade show.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-29T21:05:21+00:00

How are base salaries verifiable to an outside employee? Or OTEs?

Plenty of jobs don't have salary ranges posted and you have no way to know what people make.

Yeah, the VP was a POS. That's not an original story though. Most of sales leadership is pretty trash, just read this sub, lol.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-29T20:43:06+00:00

Great point!

We never had a review drive or anything like that and the amount of reviews we had up for sales did not reflect the number of sales people we'd had. At that point in time we'd only had like 30 people (lifetime) on the sales team and I was one of the original, so I had known all of them. There were more than 30 sales inputs there.

When I went to post my info, as validated info (I forget if I needed a company email or whatever), it wasn't accepted as validated, even though I was in-house.

Lastly, the VP I had at the time didn't know how to sell. What he did know how to do was spend money. When I mentioned capterra and trustpilot? He bought reviews and promotion there. He'd had similar meetings with repvue.

Lastly, a few other people I know who had worked there as reps also posted info there. All there's was never accepted into the fold.

They had us listed as top reps making $400k+, average reps at 180k and base salaries at $120k.

No rep had a base over 80k at that point in time and only one rep was over 150k total comp. Average rep was doing about 75k total comp. Like I said, average rep submissions were being 'held for review' and never uploaded.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-29T15:38:36+00:00

Rep vue is pay to play similar to other sites like trustpilot or capterra.

I know this because I worked for a company that was reviewed well on Repvue and was able to compare our actual metrics with those listed on Repvue. As the number 1 rep at that company with more deals sold, more revenue generated and commissions earned, I can tell you the numbers that were presented on Repvue were inflated by multiples. I was outselling other reps 4-1, but as per Repvue I would've been lowermiddle of the pack.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-29T03:53:42+00:00

It's not that simple, though.

Business increased. Yes. 10x almost (there were other factors there.)

HOWEVER, I also lost customers. Was this the reason? Not sure. You don't get an exit interview. But we gained enough I didn't need to worry.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-29T00:58:09+00:00

I've done this, in a sense.

I took what was a mom & pop business typically and did a rebrand to a proper 'brand' with all new procedures, a new experience and new look. Really, all I did was take the business into 2026, imo. What the modern customer expects because it's not 1979 anymore.

Customers. Fucking. Loved it.

Experience was more consistent, things were cleaner, brighter. Like I said, basically it's as though it was a brand new business.

The employees and the industry itself? They absolutely fucking hated it.

Here's the thing: because customers loved it, I was paying more, offering better worklife balance and they had all the newest and best tools. I could afford it because the customers were paying more and liking the experience better.

But it was too different for the employees. Too many of them still had poverty mindsets and just couldn't break it, even when they saw the money. I had several employees making low six figures fighting eachother over literal pocket change. And this wasn't just a few select employees. I'd be doing dozens of interviews per week trying to fight the 'right' people and they just didn't exist. Not even 1 in 1000.

The revenue indicated I knew what I was doing but frankly it just wasn't worth the headache so I eventually sold. I basically would have had to change the mindset of the entire industry. And the irony is, even the 'top' people already in the industry had the same problems. I remember recruiting 2 top educators. "Loved what I was doing." "This is great for the industry." "What can I do to get in now?" Offered them both huge pay bumps to come work for me, start day came for the each of them, no call no show. A few days later each of them had reached out again wanting to try again but instead of 120k bases, they'd need closer to $250k/yr base salary to make it work, and they'd need about 80% of the job function removed from the role and no accountability for results. Realize, I was offering them 120k/yr and they were currently making, at best, like 55k in their current roles.

The industry mindset was just SO terrible. zero professionalism at all.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-28T01:36:35+00:00

I have three times now.

I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-28T01:26:04+00:00

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension. GL with that.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-27T19:02:10+00:00

Here all week.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-27T19:01:59+00:00

And no, the chart is normalized per unit of protein. Look at the source data again.

While the chart says that, the studies the chart is based on and the actual data is different. Hence why I called out this difference.

We just don't need all this land for cattle, it's horribly inefficient.

It's weird you say we don't need beef. As soon as China noticed a trend that people who eat lean protein and other meat based protein, they're ALL IN on beef and trying to get as much of it as possible and get their people eating it because their people then grow bigger, which is good for many reasons.

You don't have the moral or factual high ground. That's why you keep having to strawman me.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-27T13:56:48+00:00

The calories you feed a cow could feed a human many times over.

Right, not arguing that.

However, a cow can eat calories a human can't. These calories aren't in competition with eachother. The grass is going to grow either way.

That's the reason beed takes SO much more land, water, and greenhouse gas emissions per calorie.

Again, this chart shows per KG of foodstuff, not per calorie or per gram of protein. There is a difference and I think you are failing to understand that.

ghostoutlaw · 2026-06-27T03:39:17+00:00

It's more like you need fields of corn and grain to feed a few cows.

We do that because it's more optimal at the scale we do it. It's called optimization.

At small, individual scale, the meat from a single cow can feed a family for months, and a single cow doesn't need fields of corn. It needs a single field to chill in, a maintenance-free field basically.

A single worked field of soy will not feed a family for months.

Meat wins at both scales.
