To be fair journalists often do this too, eg. "[company] was breached, people within the company claim"
- eddythompson80 7mo agoIsn’t he a Vercel evangelist though?
- troupo 7mo agoHe is "whatever gives me short-term boost in popularity". Including doing 180 turns on whatever he's evangelizing or bashing.
- eddythompson80 7mo agoFair enough. That’s probably a better description from what I’ve seen from him. I remember that arc browser shilling.
- Barbing 7mo agoGood for the content but would sponsors be on board long term?
- brazukadev 7mo agoLet's see. Roasting vercel is more popular than defending but his posts so far he seems to be defending and arguing in the replies.
- troupo 7mo agoNote: what follows is absolute 100% speculation based on nothing but gut feelings. Theo has long been Vercel supporter and was sponsored by them several times. In this case it could be a combination of him being genuinely interested in Vercel (a rare thing) and hopes for future sponsorships
- brazukadev 6mo agoYes, this is exactly how I see it too minus the "genuine" part. It is because of money, and for that, he doesn't care about lying.
