First I'd heard of it, but seems like a really effective way to apply bias filters for elitist tech folks to meet and advance careers of other elitist tech folk

First I'd heard of it, but seems like a really effective way to apply bias filters for elitist tech folks to meet and advance careers of other elitist tech folks. Glad it's shutting down.

Yeah, god forbid someone does something YOU don't like!

That's a really horrible thing to say. They presumably worked hard to help people connect. I'm sorry if you don't like their selection criteria, but people meeting and interacting in the real world is better than them not, no? If you would like to start a competitor which helps bridge 'elitist' to 'non-elitist' please do, until then, please don't hate on someone's attempt to make their part of the world better.

  It seems a perfectly reasonable criticism to me, and indeed, you aren't saying he's wrong. You're just saying that you support it.

  Thanks for your comment. Lots of people work hard on things but that doesn't magically make them any good. Working hard has no value just by itself.

    They were trying to make people meet over shared professional interests. And anyway, for your assertion you would have to prove it produced elitism, not only "that you feel like it would".

  > If you would like to start a competitor which helps bridge 'elitist' to 'non-elitist' please do What an asinine attempt at censorship with a complete lack of understanding of social dynamics. If anything, the evidence that the business model of bridging elitist to non-elitist doesn't work is that weave.in is shutting down. In your limited world view, is anyone who isn't successful not allowed to criticize anything at all? > make their part of the world better Debatable and completely subjective.

Yeah, god forbid those elitists start getting together and making even more people elitists as well.

Kind of an elitist remark isn't that?
