Values are always cheap to have until you hit a case that tests them. It turns out that Kickstarter didn't really want the ones it had

- brookst 4y agoMarketing is always reductive, the real world has nuance and context. When a company says “we’re the best platform for X”, what they really mean is “. . . Subject to terms and conditions and our right to refuse business that we find objectionable” and so on. Try pulling up to an all-you-can-eat buffet with a trailer and cleaning them out of every last bit of food in the place with the “one simple trick” that they didn’t specify you had to eat it on the premises, just that you “could” eat it. Taking any marketing (or really, any) statement as absolute and universal without bounds no matter what the context is disingenuous. Everybody knows that, even the “one simple trick” people who try to use reductive literal arguments to get away with stuff.
