TED is just like sharktank. Only instead of having a good business idea contestants compete to sooth the guilt of wealthy liberals and promise them that technology is going to save us.
TED launches a short-form (TikTok like) video feature.

Ted talks used to be interesting. They are garbage now.

Totally lost their way as they commodified and expanded so quickly. Truly great, unique insights are worth keeping small and waiting for. All the ted x and mini Ted x and micro teds etc. just water the brand and impact down.
I went to one in 2015 and cried, multiple times. By 2020 I couldn’t even stand to watch them online as everyone was trying to give the next great Ted talk instead of Ted picking the most impactful. They also got into echo chamber/preaching to the choir territory as it became too rote.
