Does such a blacklist exist? Given the short notice I expected that Hyper.sh would be gone (and thus free of commercial backlash) but it appears the company will continue in new areas, which makes this decision even more surprising.
I'd definitely be interested in having such a list and an easy way to determine if they are involved in new companies, which doesn't sound trivial. "Foo Co was terrible to their customers" doesn't tell me Bob made the decisions, nor does that tell me that Bar Co is also run by Bob.
- gtirloni 8y agoThe usual HN feedback for trying to track bad CEOs so you don't get bit in the future is that we shouldn't because they're humans who make mistakes and always deserve second chances. Not saying I agree but it's what I've noticed.
