Preface

This is the first of a two part article. Here is the link to the second part of the article.

The Article:

Hello and peace be upon you. To you as the reader, the second part of this article is what should have been published in the International Business Times (IB Times), where with the use of Ai technology, Pathos Communications was going to curate an article that was professionally written, coherent in it’s narrative, well researched and fact checked, but most of all, an article that was meant to have a profound impact on the intended reader. Instead, Ark-am LLC received a suboptimal piece. One that contains no real work from a professional journalist and yielded Ark-am $5,000 USD in January of 2026. An article that might as well have been written by a 16-year-old English major but instead was written by an unknown Ai Agent; ask Andalib Kibria how he knows this to be a fact and not an accusation. Moreover, in Mr. Kibria’s humble opinion, Pathos’s endeavor to be "Pay on Results” media company is a blatant rip-off and a borderline scam.

Andalib Kibria is the Managing Director and a Full-Stack Developer at Ark-am, and due to the injustice mentioned above, he is now taking matters into his own hands and providing to you, as the reader, what was meant to be the true nature of the article. This is to showcase one; Mr. Kibria has writing skills, and two; reflect the nature of Pathos Communications and its CEO (Chief Executive Office), Omar Hamdi. He sent an e-mail to Mr. Kibria (see screenshot below) that included a video of him explaining how Pathos is the “fastest growing startup media company” and even provided his phone number (917-279-7172); needless to say, the phone number rings to a stop without going to voicemail. Moreover, Mr. Hamdi's video ensured that Ark-am as a company can be confident in Pathos’s approach and deliver on their promise. The said promise was to portray a story that would have a meaningful impact and was true to its origins. Sadly, the end result was a mediocre piece that is barely worth the click, let alone another click of the share button (see original article). After more than five weeks’ worth of e-mail exchanges later, Ark-am did not receive the “expert support” they were promised, nor were any of the changes made to the article that was requested by Mr. Kibria.

Ergo, enjoy the next few moments as you read the real article that was meant to be published on the IB Times and everyone at Ark-am *hopes this brings you peace in knowing what was wronged is now somewhat made right.
*Hope in itself is not a strategy, but rather a feeling of trust.
