What a terrible headline. In this case "the same" refers not to the "beauty contest" but to locating offices in an already well-established city. Garbage clickbait.
Apple did none of the same shenanigans as Amazon, like pitting dozens of cities against one another to see who could offer the most incentives or creating a lot of hurt feelings as millions of people got excited and let down.<p>Business Insider is garbage and this headline only reinforces that.
What an abysmal ad experience. Tried to load the page 3 times. Every time had an inescapable pop up ads come up, redirecting me to a spam site, and then redirecting to the same site as many times as is allowed before the browser intervenes, so hitting back does nothing.<p>This is why the world is collectively joining the add blocker train. Talk about an industry that can’t die soon enough...
