> I think your comment is a great example of a ruthless and cuthtroat nature that we're seeing with "insensitivity pushed policies". To call something unkind when making an option to refuse to play nickleback is absurd and an overrecation. 1. You don't know me at all if you think I'm pushing "insensitivity pushed policies". I'm not pushing "policies" at all, I'm encouraging people to be kind and to use their brains to figure out what "kind" is, instead of piling onto hating something. 2. You drastically overestimated the tone of my post if you think it's "ruthless and cutthroat". I don't think it's kind to ridicule a band or it's fans, but it's not that big a deal. Remember where I said, "albeit a minor one"? If hating something as bland as Nickelback is the hill you choose to die on, I dunno man, maybe pick better battles? > Contextually (for those who didn't suffer through the Nickleback age) Nickleback was a highly overplayed ban that produced similarly sounding songs with very weak albums with "one hit wonders". It spawned it's own genre called Butt Rock. It's a sign of a monopoly held by the music industry to influence what you heard and how much you heard it on the radio. Eh, I wouldn't say I like Nickelback; their music bores me a bit. But a) they're people, and b) people are allowed to like what they like. > The way I see it is that the feature is a confirming nod to the users' sense of humor and it gives an application a bit of personality. We used to have easter eggs, boss modes, and suprises in applications. (I think excel had a full on game built in) Yeah, and those things are pretty different from a mean-spirited joke at someone else's expense. > Now it's all about a commoditize labor pushing code out to deliever underdeveloped features on an unreasonable timeline. Bro, look at my comment history. I'm definitely not about commoditizing labor. :D
