It's almost weird to think that behind BTS is this army of people who 'create' them, like enough to build this huge company and win awards for 'high quality job creation' and an investment award.

that's not weird, that's how the business works.

BH does a good job of humanizing its business product. In fact, I think this is its chief competitive advantage. Most of the members' decisions are steeped in business outcomes. I don't say that to invalidate their sincerity on many matters but so many people seem to overlook this as one of many drivers behind the content we get.

It'll be interesting to see how BH markets its next bg.
