In other words, back up your exploitative labor practices with underhanded propaganda tactics. This is pretty thin gruel. What this piece doesn't seem to consider is, who exactly are the hearts and minds Amazon is fighting for here? The informed reading public? Like NY Times readers? I'd like to believe they'd be more resistant than average to these tactics. Or, as others have suggested in the previous thread on this subject, potential tech hires? The HN crowd? Based on the previous thread, there seems to be some sympathy for Amazon here. But again, I'd be inclined to give more credit to those among "the haters" than the author does here and would fully expect them not to be won over by these kind of mass consumer marketing tactics. (I'd still like to see that HN poll I'd suggested in previous thread.) If they're simply trying to control the topic with a broader mass media audience, then I suspect Amazon would be best served by simply respecting the Streisand Effect.
