Yes, the whole point of abuse, and why there's a social taboo against it, is that it works. It achieves its desired effect.
Microsoft is also a deeply abusive corporation. The discussion was not about them, though.
- dijit 2y agoSo, any profiting and market segmentation is abuse? The same word we use for raping kids? Give off.
- sunshowers 2y agoNo, not any profiting is abuse. I thought I made that quite clear. With apologies for quoting myself: > If it were a boutique shop I wouldn't call it abusive. It's a combination of the bad behavior and the exercise of raw power that makes it so. I was raped as a kid, friend. Many times.
- dijit 2y ago> I was raped as a kid, friend. Many times. and many of my friends were, which is why I would prefer we keep words with strong meaning quite strong. A company operating as a company, not even unethically in this case is too far away.
