No one said these app download guys are awesome. My point was that these newsletter guys deserve much more criticism. A lot of them are pretty famous bloggers, and they know they're being an asshole but do it. The thing is no one criticizes them because they don't want to offend an influential person. It's sad because I used to have respect for many of them.
- logicallee 11y agoYou have cause and effect backwards. How do you think they got to be so famous and influential :)
- volaski 11y agoNot really, if Seth Godin started doing this tomorrow on his blog, I will lose all the respect I had for him. He knows that and that's probably why he doesn't do it. And that's why I lost respect for those who do--because it's a sign that they are one of those people who only can see short term and follow what other people say they should do (This practice is pretty much industry standard among shady marketers and "growth hackers" nowadays)
