That's unnecessarily harsh.
Anybody that puts a lot of effort into something only to have everyone else drop a big steaming deuce on it is going to be affected by it. His post was just about how he deals with that particular aspect of business.
I see no reason to begin an armchair psychoanalysis of the guy or his life.
- ctdonath 15y agoSuch is the consequence of irreverence, which if not inspiring criticism isn't.
- rhizome 15y agoAren't you psychoanalyzing him yourself by somehow intuiting that he's putting "a lot of effort" into it? I don't really see that in the post itself.
- thaumaturgy 15y agoFrom the fifth "paragraph": > It took 6 months to get that deal and we just emailed 70,000 AppSumo.com customers and 6 whole buys two hours after the email went out. The phrasing there implies that the effort required to arrange the deal wasn't trivial.
- rhizome 15y agoEmailing is definitely trivial, and the 6mos could have just been everyday lagging retconned into effort. We don't know.
