If they're not paying you, they certainly should be.
Accusations of shilling for a company is not only uncalled for, in my eyes it greatly weakens your argument because I will have to assume that all you have left are ad hominems. Let your arguments stand on their own and leave the insinuations out of it.
- Y_Y 2y agoYou don't have to assume that. It's perfectly possible to mix ad-hominems with valid points.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoI don't care about ad hominems. But we have to outgrow calling someone a shill just because they apply some critical thinking rather than jumping on a bandwagon. It's basically saying that someone shouldn't care how weak your claims are because it's a business you're wrong about. It doesn't work against people who care about the truth.
- ToValueFunfetti 2y agoIt's perfectly possible to mix valid points and yelling at people in the subway, but it's still quite useful for one's attention to assume that those who do the latter aren't likely to be making an honest effort at the former.
