What is their motivation? What are they trying to achieve?
- afavour 7mo agoThey’re pointing out fraud. Is that a bad thing now? I think it’s fair game to point out that the the 30 under 30 hype list is just that: hype. And there’s often very little substance underneath hype. And sometimes there’s outright deceit under it.
- AIorNot 7mo agowell why was Cursor included amongst known fraudsters.. that just seems mean and warrentless
- afavour 7mo agoIn the section that says: 100% SATIRICAL — SCORES ARE FICTIONAL AND DO NOT REFLECT REAL-WORLD FRAUD RISK ? Personally I think it’s not a bad thing to be a little skeptical about brand new companies with double digit billion dollar valuations. If they’re legit they can more than withstand a little satirical dig.
- Lerc 7mo agoI asked for an insight into their thought process and goals. The assumption that this was something bad did not come from my words but the nature of the page itself. I have encountered many instances of fraud being highlighted. Generally it is a valuable journalistic service that I have no problem with. Most don't send the message that they have a vindictive axe to grind like this one does.
