Yeah, but you said it with what looked like a lot of sarcasm and criticism.
I said it with a tone of "Oh shit, I could have done exactly the same thing". Empathy.
But it's a fun point of the nuances of language, isn't it? Maybe I misunderstood you.
- myWindoonn 6y agoWell, having empathy with growth hackers is reprehensible and worth critiquing. The idea of growing a business for the sake of having a big business is horrifying; it's the desire to explicitly build a large social institution and use it to damage and oppress people. From that perspective, you're the one lacking in empathy; you would like us to have our sympathies lie with the few who build businesses, rather than the many who are harmed by the business.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoI think you are allowed to have empathy for both.
- user-the-name 6y agoBut only one was displayed here.
- user-the-name 6y agoMaybe your takeaway there should be, "oh shit, I would have exactly the same thing, I need to rearrange my priorities so that I don't hurt people".
- idrios 6y agoIt sounds like that was his takeaway, except that for him it was coming from a place of empathy and not anger.
- user-the-name 6y agoI did not hear that.
- arcbyte 6y agoYou're exactly right. I love your attitude. But for the grace of God there go I.
- user-the-name 6y agoWell, here's the thing. I don't go there. I do my best to have morals and principles that stop me from putting users at risk. I would push back at anyone telling me to do this. If you go there but for the grace of God, that is a bad thing. You should not. You should figure out how not to do that.
