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…

They run a website that helps you self diagnose even the slightest illness as cancer.

[Joke] C'mon, be fair!

It also suggests other horrific, life-threatening diseases as the reason for itchy eyes or cramps or whatever!

Cystic fibrosis or legionairres disease.
