Trust is not a boomerang, when you throw it away it doesn't come back.

- iamsaitam 3y agoGreat metaphor.
- LadyCailin 3y agoDepends, if you’re big enough, it will come back to you after it orbits once.
- hn_acker 3y agoI like the way you put it because to me it holds the connotation that the company which threw away the trust is so massive that its gravity (usefulness, lack of good alternatives, network effects, enterprise stubbornness, mere exposure [1] etc.) brings the trust back. (Well, it might be begrudging distrust rather than trust, but the result is the same if the people come back.)
