I get it, we'll ignore the fact that Scribd makes the web a worse place when the founders are in the thread.

- BrandonM 17y agoWell that's a pretty ridiculous thing to say. How can a website make the web a worse place? A website either provides something you can't get anywhere else, which is intrinsically valuable, or you can just ignore the site.
- jacoblyles 17y ago>How can a website make the web a worse place? It's easy. Someone sends you a Scribd link. Scribd is written in Flash so maybe you can't read the damn thing. Before Scribd, people would just send you PDF links. Everybody can read PDFs. Scribd harms the web by reducing the number of people who can view its content. That's what I call "providing negative value".
