"Ideologically Pure"? Link-bait much? Apparently the author finds the notion of a fair-value exchange impossible to understand. "First off, App.net's interests are not economically aligned with its users. It wants money from those users, and all things being equal, those users want to keep their money. So their goals are actually diametrically opposed." I would bother with an introduction to the fundamentals of how economic exchange work.. but I honestly believe this was written with so much foaming froth on the lips of the author that he cannot possibly see sense enough to understand reason. I hope he got the jacked up page view count he was hoping for.
