And this in turn, kids, is how you assume bad faith without any reservation or doubt.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoHaving watched the news for a while, primarily on HN and Slashdot, I've seen enough tracking, leaks, sell-outs, adware incidents, dirty marketing, astroturf campaigns, compromised software, etc. to not expect some degree of bad faith. Perhaps not this time, but it is totally reasonable to question everything.
- eps 9y agoWho said anything about this being written in bad faith? It's a really well executed example of content marketing. Whether it was intentional is a separate question, but the post is really quite shallow in technical terms and it exagerrates things here and there, so - yeah, it does look like something written primarily for promo reasons.
- _ix 9y agoSure. There's nothing wrong with promotional material, nor is there anything wrong with calling a spade a spade. To be fair, though, your original comment did come across as negative — was it supposed to?
