@ml_angelopoulos Fraud is fraud buddy. I will be sure to steer far clear of any company you’re ever associated with if this is your stance on fraud.
@ml_angelopoulos People are hating on her because she committed literal fraud! Did you say the same thing about Elizabeth Holmes and Charli Javitz?
@ml_angelopoulos being a founder is hard enough without the whole internet watching because of your last name. root for the builders.
@ml_angelopoulos maybe if you defend her scam hard enough she’ll throw a few bucks your way
The browser extension manipulated last-touch attribution to claim credit.

First thing Phia needs to do is stop using this dumb excuse that it was a random glitch they were just “made aware” about Nobody’s buying that. And when you have a crisis of trust, the worst thing you can do is strain credibility further Second is get founders to quit hiding behind a faceless corpo spokesperson, take accountability, give a better explanation, and pay back the money People can eventually forgive “naive first time founders got in over their heads and are humbled” but won’t forgive “these nepo babies really think we’re stupid
Whenever I see a crazy negative hate train against someone, I have the instinct to root for them. Maybe something is wrong with my brain, but I think it's largely unwarranted. Soooo many people are hating on her because she is related to BG! And not one person is positive that she's trying to build her own business. The downside of being BG daughter is that everybody is watching you, even if you're running a tiny baby startup. And that means you're going to get a lot of hate online no matter what you do. Especially if you do something wrong, which sounds like the case here tbf. I hope she takes this moment to learn, improve her product and goes on to build an awesome and ethical business. Let's go, @PhoebeAdellle! If you guys are successful, this will just be a drop in the bucket, you're gonna get a ton more hate, and you're going to need a strong stomach along the way;)
Attribution rules the world. In this case, an extension was injecting a UTM param into URLs to hack 'last touch' attribution models. Attribution rules the world. https://twitter.com/business/status/2075536490789040564
You forgot to cut the crust off your slop https://x.com/lulumeservey/status/2075732127048405488/photo/1 https://twitter.com/jeremymstamper/status/2075639585154232663
Bill gates daughter scamming to get her startup revenue is insanely impressive. Where does an S tier nepo baby get that kind of drive?
Bill Gates' daughter BTW https://twitter.com/business/status/2075536490789040564
