Some things have come to my attention recently concerning Jakob Lodwick, one of the more unfortunate assets I acquired along with CollegeHumor awhile back. Namely, scribbled “evidence” that he’s two-timing me by paying low-level IAC deckhands to leave. It was some kid named Justin Omelette or something who worked at Vimeo, part of my Emerging Businesses division (which is internal speak for “special ed”) and now runs some flash in the pan called “Muxtape.”
Balderdash. You can’t two-time the Diller.
Here’s the thing about Lodwick, whom I really only kept around because his name evokes scurvy-laden cabin boys. He “founded” Vimeo, and under my watch he turned it into a hub for whiny hipsters sharing videos of their puppet shows while refusing to run ads from companies that weren’t “creative” enough. Creative my ass….Bla Bla Bla.Why would you put down a company you own? He must have a really specific strategy…
