  Wow. That attitude is reprehensible, especially from people who claim to know the dehumanization of factory work, firsthand, as I have too. Celebrating it and gleefully aggrandizing it is... unimaginable.

  If only they framed it as positive reinforcement rather than negative penalties, no one would have cared. Hmmm

  That's horrible. Also, shame on ycombinator for deleting the LinkedIn post, that's spineless. If they just had stated afterwards "oh crap, we really did not think this through, and were being absolute monsters by choosing to back this", that would have been much better.
