My point is that there seems to be an entitlement to be outraged over free services you don't pay for now days, and that people seem to think they need to write blog posts to publicly shame companies when they alter services they are offering to the public for exactly zero dollars.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoYou seem to be suggesting that free services are free from criticism, which is just silly. He is entitled to be outraged, stop it.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoRight. To take it to a somewhat ridiculous extreme, what about something like this? "I just found out that this company was infecting all their users with bubonic plague." "Stop complaining. It was free!"
- res0nat0r 14y agoThat comparison is ridiculous. It's a free service, either click two buttons to revert it to the previous state without ads, or delete your account. Move on with your life and stop the entitled whining.
- anthonyb 14y agojaquesm's opinion was given to you for free, what are you complaining about? If you don't like it, don't read it...
- detst 14y agoThis is what Turing_Machine is doing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum Offering something free doesn't make one immune to criticism and criticizing isn't entitled whining. This is fair criticism.
- tripzilch 14y agoYou stop complaining. You didn't pay for the comparison or the "entitled whining".
