- f6v 6y agoThis is the reason people get frustrated, right here. Having expectations that a for-profit tech company doesn’t behave one. Why wouldn’t they use everything at their disposal to slam the competitors?
- nickpp 6y agoWell, its like in sports: there are some things that you could do to win, but you don't - because you are not scum and you know the game would be worse for all if everybody would do them. It's called fair play.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoWhen people get tired enough of crappy behavior from other people, regardless of the excuse, people tend to do something about it. This is why we have sayings like "what goes around comes around." Business exists to serve humanity, not the other way around. Humans created it to serve human needs. Humans can exist without business. Business doesn't exist without humans. Historically, the honey bee was revered as a symbol of a civilizing force and the force it symbolized was trade. Trade -- aka business -- is how you make the world better pragmatically. It operates on the idea that both sides gain something of value. I don't know how or why, but we seem to have collectively forgotten that.
