Step 1: Build your initial product on open technologies, harvest goodwill of enthusiastic people
Step 2: Become popular and highly profitable
Step 3: Ditch openness of your platform, implying your initial supporters were just useful idiots
- jake_the_third 9y agoAs much as I hate to admit it, I was android's useful idiot. I seem to have learned from my mistake though. I never bought into systems controlled by commercial entities afterwards. Unfortunately, the pool of useful idiots doesn't dwindle with each cycle iteration since there are always a new batch of idiots willing to take the bait (and attack you if you voice your concerns). So this strategy won't loose its effectiveness. Expect to see many iterations in the future :(
