There are people that have never met me, and have never had any prior interactions with me, that hate (and that’s not hyperbole) me; simply because of that one fact.
I'm fascinated to hear this. I quite dislike Apple quite a bit as a company/entity, for a variety of pragmatic and philosophical reasons, but the idea that that would extend to their employees (let alone those working on their platform) is wild to me.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoShouldn't be. It's fairly classic human nature. There's lots of folks with axes to grind, that are excellent spinners, and lots of people that are maybe...a bit insecure, shall we say, that eat that spin, and turn it into venom. The old "Ford vs. Chevy" spat can get like that. People kill each other over which football teams they like. It's easy to see why folks don't like Apple; just as it's easy to see why folks don't like every other platform. It's just that there's a lot of really unbalanced folks out there, and even more folks who like to set those people off.
