- vote Blind driving me crazy My app crashes as soon as I try to add a tag! Its driving me insane, what about you?
- How is Blind able to drive engagement without positive reinforcements? Unlike Facebook, it doesn’t notify you when someone likes your comment.

Any thoughts? Tc 92k YOE 6 #produc

- vote Meta Signon Bonus Car Hello: With the advent of RTO, I need to buy a car.

When I read Glassdoor reviews of Meta/Facebook, I see mostly positive reviews, including Meta being in the top 10 places to work for many years straight. The company reviews occasionally mention WLB but its rarely a headline. On Blind I keep reading how terrible WLB is at Meta and how the PSC cultu

- First time car buyer insurance Hi Blind fam, I’m heading out in the market for buying my first car but I’ve seen dealers being hesitant to let me test drive as I have no insurance.

There are lot of threads which has tiny bits of personal information which can be used to create your profile. Blind knows where you work, what car you drive, which ethnicity you belong to, how many times you have sex per week. Do you deliberately provide false information to skew profile attributes
