The Notorious B2B Show’s Podcast

Episode 36 | Adobe Bought SEMRush for $1.9B. Pray for the UI.


Listen Later

Adobe just dropped $1.9B to acquire SEMRush, and we're already bracing for impact. In Episode 36, we speculate what a big acquisition means if history has told us anything.


We cover it all:

  • First, we need your feedback to make this show even more notorious 
  • Do LinkedIn’s demographic settings impact your impressions?
  • Cloudflare’s 4th outage of the year that took down 25% of the internet 
  • Cursor’s 12X jump and the real drama behind it (with OpenAI)
  • Why ChatGPT keeps saying yes to everything and how to make it stop 
  • The candidate who did 11 technical interviews and still got rejected
  • The new hiring practice turning applicants into unpaid contractors
  • If you care about B2B marketing, SEO, LinkedIn culture, and everything happening in tech right now, this one’s loaded.

    Also, special thanks to our friends at Vector — the only ad platform brave enough to say what we’re all thinking: native targeting is a scam.

    Vector lets you build audiences by name. Not “job title at tech company.” Actual people who clicked your ad, visited your site, or creeped on your pricing page. (Also, the branding has cute ghosties. What more do you want?)

    Check them out at vector.co and stop paying to show ads to your uncle’s dentist’s cousin.
