- comboy 10y agoIt's amazing how much circle jerk around this is happening on HN, which usually holds reasonably cold and rational views. I'm not saying that Uber is doing good things but it definitely feels like an organized campaign that successfully snowballed.
- linkregister 10y agoI don't think it's organized. I've seen otherwise benign organizations and individuals (I'm not saying Uber is benign) dragged through the mud and later vindicated. Many different publications pile on to vulnerable targets in order to catch up with reader interest. See Fatty Arbuckle, Lindy Chamberlain.
