Oh no god forbid a company slightly change any of their offerings and add more features that will appeal to most of their audience. Then go around and try to advertise this on Hacker News, which we like to think is a community of visionary and entrepreneur geniuses but we really are a bunch of self-entitled and change averse edge case users that know better.

Also, required "fuck Google" quote at the end.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIt's not change aversion and edge case circlejerk - it's a reaction to Dropbox pulling an user-hostile move, damaging their core product in a most likely vain attempt at trying to become the platform for office data management. My problem with such moves is that you have a bunch of companies making their product worse trying to capture a winner-takes-all market, and whoever eventually wins will be the platform that further screws users by taking more and more ownership and control of data and computation away from them.
