- zeeg 3y agoWhat are you trying to achieve with complaining about a good cause? Our intent is to set a tone for this kind of thing. We are a well known company in the technology sector, so showcasing this creates a model for others to be inspired by. When decision makers at other companies see this, ones who might also care about this cause, it creates opportunities and materials for them to have these conversations within their own teams. Marketing is not inherently evil as you make it out to be.
- the_mitsuhiko 3y agoNote that the donation run happened a while ago without announcement and comments like this made the rounds on Twitter almost immediately. So the “marketing” aspect I would argue is unrelated.
- datenpunk 3y agoHopefully, this should lead other companies to step up as well. Do you really think this is a problem?
- renewiltord 3y agoSure, they also wouldn't if they gave 100% of their revenue. But of all the points, the Schelling point is at 0 donation / 0 blog posts, and this is part of the reason.
- mholt 3y agoWe need more of this, so yes absolutely, publicize it. Start a movement. Set an example. Be a leader.
