No offense intended, but this isn't the way to have a meaningful conversation.
First, it's stated as a blind truth with no reasoning. The only thing I can do is say "you're wrong", as there's no basis upon which to have a real discussion.
Second, your repeated use of the phrase "degenerate activism" seems to have no other purpose than to elicit a strong emotional response. From my position it's borderline trolling.
Third, I have no idea what "doomed web startups" you're even talking about.
The entire comment, as short as it is, reads as bait for an argument, rather than an honest attempt to engage in a discussion.
- avasthe 6y agoPS: I am not the person you were replying to in GP. But I used his words. English is not my first language. 1) Look at the CEO salary. She was not even an engineer. The C-level executives don't harm themselves in this process, but there is no improvement because of her and she is still reaping a big salary. This also means many people are disappointed and less donations. 2) degenerate activism: all the SJW / diversity shit that Mozilla is into. I know some people here are going to defend it. But artificially trying to create diversity in an ecosystem means low quality. And a company like Mozilla which can't keep talented engineers doesn't need all this. 3) doomed web startups: Pocket, and their new VPN service which is going to be used by exactly 13 HN users.
