This is what seems to be happening here as well, this post is definitely not getting up voted, however, there are replies from readers in comments, which means it does get some attention. I don't personally care about my HN karma, so I intend to keep this post, but, these observations make me question the HN algorithm -- can the companies like Apple buy their positive outlook on the "self governed" media?
- orionblastar 9y agoI've seen tech companies come and go and make the same mistakes as Apple, and I know how to solve them. A pity nobody wanted to listen to what I had to say and "How dare you criticize Apple?" I was an Apple Critic from way back in the early 1990s, and I said Apple should get away from propriety technology and use standards like USB, IDE, etc. Then rewrite the OS based on some form of Unix and port the GUI and ability to run older apps. I was laughed at, my site was attacked, someone doxed me and I had to change phone numbers. But when Apple bought Next and brought Steve Jobs back and he made the iMac with IDE and USB and then took NextOS and MacOS and made MacOSX. After that I said they should make Intel Macs with their PowerPC Macs and see which ones sell better and do better. I was laughed at again. But Apple did switch to Intel chips. Without critics, tech companies won't have any idea how to fix any of this stuff.
