If I had to guess, I'd say you're being downvoted because a tweet from John Carmack is not influential enough (by several orders of magnitude) to cause policy change at a company the size of Amazon.
- pixelpoet 7y agoI figured he has plenty of followers to ignite some kind of larger discussion about policy, just a few days after tweeting about it. I guess we don't reply to disagree these days, just downvote. Serves me right, I'll keep it to myself rather; might as well have made a troll comment about Trump or something, didn't expect that at HN.
- lorenzhs 7y agoIt's a tweet with 139 retweets and 1400 likes. If you think that would influence Amazon, I have a bridge to sell you. And it's not like this was a previously unknown issue.
- pixelpoet 7y ago> If you think that would influence Amazon, I have a bridge to sell you. You know I didn't even presuppose it, I dared to wonder out loud if it might be related since I'd seen an example of this Amazon counterfeiting just the other day from a somewhat well-known guy called John Carmack. Maybe there would have been some interesting discussion, I dunno; but it looks like no one is selling any bridges, just downvoting questions. You're probably right, and I never disagreed with you; thanks for the snark.
- pixelpoet 7y agoIt can be argued that the entire recent resurgence of VR started with a few random comments of support from that same John Carmack.
