It started because we were skint and who wants to work clicking or running delivery drives or joining the reserves and piloting drones. We couldn’t be bothered vibe coding Agents on The Market so decided to sell our organs. Everyone’s got the stuff anyway, so sell it. Then we realised we could get more if it was more “attractive” to clients. If they thought they were buying stuff directly relevant to their business, our Agents could negotiate a higher price. So we started thinking through our clicks and trails. And that meant we had to fire some people. Nice kids.
