Employee != co-founder.
I don’t think anyone thinks of Mackenzie as an Amazon co-founder (nor have I read anywhere other than this editorialized title).
That’s not to play down her involvement and contribution to Amazon in its early days, but it’s disingenuous to call her a co-founder.
- dominotw 6y ago> but it’s disingenuous to call her a co-founder. looks like the submitter called here that, possibly to create a flamewar like this.
- Wolfenstein98k 6y agoHer Wiki was recently changed to call her that too.
- renewiltord 6y agoSeems like an irrelevant thing to argue about. The submitter clearly set it up to create engagement on the submission. I hate to have to participate and therefore perpetuate it but we're all suckers for having reacted to the bait like this. Maybe knowing we're suckers will stop us from being suckers the next time a submitter pulls this.
- casefields 6y agoThis happens on Reddit too. If you post something slightly incorrect or even a misspelling, it'll give it that first flurry of engagement which gives it a better chance of striking gold.
