I just somewhat dislike people shouting moral slogans, that's all. Especially people that have little understanding of the ecosystem in general. Sorry.
- mildbow 10y agoYou saw a niche and exploited it. That's a good thing. Morality/ethics/blah blah is always based on local customs. As people were fine with doing this anyway, then there is no need to import/impose "American" morality. Don't let any of these high-horse/armchair quarterbacks tell you any different. Thanks for taking the time to write an article. Hope this doesn't introduce a bunch of competitors into your market!
- mskvsk 10y agoThank you, I wish more people had your mindset.
- happy-go-lucky 10y agoWhat's wrong with moral slogans? I don't know where the GP got "This is just how we do things in Russia" from, but you don't represent Russia, do you? When you make a Show HN here, it's open for discussion on what's good and what's not about your thing, based on which you may want to improve the thing. By the way, most of us feel concern for other posters.
- mskvsk 10y agoMoral slogans are good per se, indeed. But I have zero patience for black and white conclusions without understanding the context, irrespective of the topic. Especially when the topic is about making a SaaS, not the moral grounds.
