Since this offhand comment seems to hit a nerve: My thinking was that there has been a slate of pro-Dropbox stories (I am a happily paying user of their service) which looked like it was carefully choreographed by a PR firm, no doubt sparked by their fundraising.
That being said, saying that they paid him was a bit over the top and I hereby retract that theory.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoPaying off a reporter is very different then paying for good PR. Just read what pg has to say: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html Don't be so nieve as to think all this good press just happens, well all still live by C.R.E.A.M. And it's not a bad thing, I love DB, but you can bet they did, indeed, pay good money for this. Did they pay the reporter? no. Did they pay for all this press? yes.
