So they hired a scumbag to harass their critics in potentially illegal ways, fired the scumbag, and then were surprised that he turned on them? What a perfect example of what goes around, comes around.
- asynchronous 3y agoNot to mention the “business” being run was about as shady as you can get.
- pseudo0 3y agoIt's remarkable that they still exist as a functioning company. I would have thought that the lawsuits over the hack, the alleged fake accounts, and the general loss of customer trust would have been enough to push them into insolvency.

- hospitalJail 3y agoIts one of the primal needs. Its why some companies are so effective at selling Veblen goods to status seekers. When I was growing up, I got abercrombie/american eagle because it was cool to girls. Today teens get Apple/Nike products. Not that any of these actually change your status, but the marketers were able to sell that idea/feeling. As an adult, you see people buying/leasing Tesla's or more expensive cars to do the same thing. People desperate for social acceptance, which leads to girls, will pay anything. I get it, I used to spend half my time looking for girls before I got married. (other half of my time school, presumably so I could always get a gold digger if need be.) Can you tell I was ugly growing up? (Lift weights my pals, it changed everything)

- hammeringnails 3y ago> Brooklyn resident > freelance designer The first article reads like a parody. Being rejected by someone who lets brand-loyalty to billion dollar companies dictate their dating preferences isn't even 'a blessing in disguise'. It's just a plain and simple blessing.
- FireBeyond 3y ago> the alleged fake accounts Way back in the day, a friend of mine, not proud of what she did, but she needed the cash, was paid by a 'sugar daddy' web site to respond to messages on their fake profiles to keep people interested. (Long before the days of chat bots, etc.)
- jeffrallen 3y agoListen to the podcast "She wants more" to understand why it still exists. Most of the interviewees use it.

- bredren 3y agoSounds a lot like eBay. Except it was an organization of people willing to do harassment ops in-person.
