I don't mean to imply that the number of letters has decreased. But if the majority of the community chatter is about boycotting GoDaddy, then that will decrease the focus on other (much much much more important) parts of the campaign which could have a negative effect.
For instance, people may think that they've done their part by boycotting GoDaddy.
It also focusses attention only on SOPA when PIPA is almost as bad.
- jczhang 15y agoThere is a halo effect. Attention on SOPA increases attention on PIPA. Without the SOPA scandal, this halo effect and increased on attention on PIPA may never have happened. You can't simply convert emotion from one object to the other. I think it's better to support things that are in the same direction than to nitpick the details (eg. pick your battles).
