Stop astroturfing.. Your company is a scummy monster!!
- jefftk 5y agoGoogle has not asked me to comment here, now or previously. When I see incorrect claims about something I have background on I point it out.
- CRConrad 5y agoBut it was your incorrect claim that was trivially disproved. So if you weren't asked to, you're just astroturfing voluntarily. That's not better, it's worse: If one gives up one's integrity, one should at least get paid for it. Otherwise, one isn't acting just scummily, but scummily and stupidly.
- jefftk 5y agoWhat claim have I made that is incorrect?
- CRConrad 5y agoThis claim: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29505292 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29505292 Debunked in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29505552 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29505552 (as was the attempted defense a year ago that you linked to in response).
- jefftk 5y agoYour linked claim is that "AMP was also a anticompetitive plot to kill off header bidding". Your linked "debunking" is about AMP pages delaying loading for non-AMP ads, which is completely unrelated to header bidding.
- CRConrad 5y agoThe claim, in a broader sense, was: "AMP is shit", or perhaps even "AMP is shit, and Google are anti-competitive arseholes". And those are certainly well-established enough by to make any attempt at defending against (either of) them delusional.
- jefftk 5y agoI'm happy to talk about specific claims if you want, but I was trying to respond to a specific false claim about header bidding and not signing up to defend all things AMP.
