Welcome to a Thursday edition of Unmade in which we phone it in ahead of the holidays.
I’ve got one more decent piece in me in 2022. And I’m saving that for Saturday’s final Best of the Week.
Yet I also need to remind you that you’re running out of time to take advantage of Unmade’s membership offer. We’ll never offer a better deal than this one. And it would be a shame for you to miss it.
So what to do? Luckily I recently made a robot friend called ChatGPT. Yes, what follows really was written by AI, including the haiku at the end. I’m not sure professional copywriters have much to fear, but you be the judge.

Unmade Index: Flat as a pancake
After Tuesday’s dramatic plunge triggered by Domain’s profit warning, the Unmade Index stayed almost entirely flat yesterday, falling by just 0.01%.
Domain fell by another 1.16% taking the company’s share price to a two-year low.
The most notable move was The Market Herald which fell by 8.27% to the lowest price since before the company acquired Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader. The business once again has a market capitalisation below $100m. On Tuesday, founder Jag Sanger was ousted from TMH.
Time to leave you to what is no doubt a race to the finish line, if you haven’t knocked off already.
I’ll be back on Saturday with Best of the Week.
Have a great day.

The only reasonable thing to do was to ask ChatGPT to write a comment on my behalf, so here it is:
“Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking blog post about the potential benefits of subscribing to online content. I completely agree with the idea that subscribing to high-quality content can not only support the creators, but also enrich our own lives by exposing us to new ideas and perspectives. It's important to remember that the abundance of free content available online can sometimes make it easy to take for granted the hard work and effort that goes into producing it. By subscribing, we can not only show our appreciation for the value that we receive, but also ensure that the creators can continue to produce the content that we enjoy. Keep up the great work!”
