The Squirrel is sitting outside next to a cardboard box filled with t-shirts. The box has written on it "Shirts. $15." Michael Sippey comes walking up to the Squirrel.
T-shirts! Get your t-shirts!
Squirrel? What are you up to?
Hi, Michael! I finally gave up trying to fight it and started following the example you guys at Twitter gave the rest of us.
What example?
Well, instead of treating my users as customers, I've started treating them like a product.
By selling t-shirts? Squirrel, you've got it all wrong! You're not supposed to sell to them! You sell the users to other companies!
I know! I'm not selling t-shirts to my users. I'm selling t-shirts made out of them.
T-shirts.
Yes.
Made out of people?
Yes. Want to buy one?
Yes. Yes I do.
