This is probably the best advertisement I have read. It's spot on about my concerns, heartfelt, empathetic and sincere. I really hope that PR firms don't pick this up. Would hate to seriously ponder if it's genuine or not. Oh damn, I'm already doing it. There's something to be said about cynicism and sincerity in today's world.
- Taek 7y agoI am sure that dropping comments like this in threads on popular news aggregates has crossed the minds of many PR firms. Even if this comment is genuine, culture within a company is temporary, and once a company has built up a trusted brand, the amount of money that can be made by taking advantage of this trust grows substantially. Especially for fast growing companies built out of venture capital, most will eventually sell out. It becomes especially difficult to avoid these pressures after IPO.

- bryanrasmussen 7y agoAs a general rule I look at the profile, emdowling has been a member since 2013, has a number of comments on different subjects, not a high reputation but no submissions, it seems most likely genuine to me.
- exolymph 7y agoThe comment you're responding to seems genuine. However... > I really hope that PR firms don't pick this up. That ship sailed years ago, alas :(
