As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD's C Suite is most interested in "crushing their competition" and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.

I can't believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?

With Kagi, WebMD never showing up again is just two clicks away:

Aaand done!

and if for whatever reason you don't want to pay for Kagi, you can use uBlacklist to achieve the same thing with a search engine of your choice https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ublacklist/

Dude's delusional thinking he's going to crush Mayo Clinic while his employees pass COVID back and forth. Straight goofball thinking.

Yeah, I’m with you. At least make the video private…
