I believe, this is that comment: "Whenever I read something like this I can't help but think "Here's a potential customer to whomever can get this right and at the right price". It seems like there's still a huge opening in this market for someone to come in and take all of ZenDesk and eSupport's customers." —megamark16 Zendesk raises their prices 60%-300%, users predictably revolt (2010), https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1358398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1358398 Congratulations on a reverse-BrandonM, Mark.

This is offtopic but I think people need to realize that Brandon's comment has been unfairly characterized. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28293146 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28293146 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27068148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27068148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23229275 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23229275

  While we're offtopic, I noticed that if you visit the original comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 both BrandonM and dhouston show up as green. I just wanted to say, it's really cool you keep adding little details like that to HN over the years. (Maybe it's not new, but I hadn't noticed it before. It was a neat moment of "Wait... that's a feature, not a bug" followed by 2007 nostalgia.) Thank you.

  Agree but I want to clarify I put it as a reverse-BrandonM (aside from its notoriety) because BrandonM (and the rest of news.yc agreed with them by voting the comment to the top) at the time wrote: 'It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?' dhouston did remember to thank BrandonM for their feedback, so that's there too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16660140 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16660140
