  Absolute free speech, however, empowers this community. I say, let each and everyone speak their mind, even the snark.

    Indeed, I agree. By no means am I advocating the removal of their ability to post, simply using my own to point out that perhaps they ought to think a bit more about their content.

    Oh sure it does but that same free speech lets users call out speech they find provides little or negative value to the community. It'd be different if said comment was deleted/removed but users downvoting it for not being conducive to conversation and calling it out as needless and low value isn't impeding the free speech by any means. Free speech != speech free from criticism.

  How does it degrade? It was exactly what I was saying happens and someone exactly said the comment. It's 100% validating. In fact it is your lazy finger wagging comment that degrades this community.

    Your comments all presuppose the existing broker solution is superior and people just haven't found the problems with Caretaker yet (and some vague and unfounded speculation about a future price increase). Consider that perhaps Caretaker is taking customers from brokers because they actually provide a better and/or cheaper service. Maybe the positive comments aren't a short term buzz but instead good reviews of a good product.

      No my comments do not presuppose the broker solution being better. My comments describe the typical playbook for VC funded companies going into a market place with a well hated incumbent. The cheaper services that Caretaker currently provide are subsidized by private capital and only will provide a positive return for that private capital once they have a dominant position in the market at which point they have the power dynamic to raise prices. My comments look to the longer term future and take a quick look at whats getting replaced. There is no supposition that the broker solution is better - more that the Caretaker solution has a predictable playbook in which we will see if the long term solution is indeed better. The value that was accrued across broker (As hated as they may be) provide some jobs, the value in caretaker accrues across some staff but mostly rolls up to the investors - providing it is a successful outcome.
