Whatever you think of TechCrunch or Twitter (personally I think they are both bullshit factories), boycotting company X for advertising on a site that exposed some documents from company Y is beyond pathetic. This is not important. Twitter's internal documents are not a worthy cause. Flagging this nonsense.
- goodside 17y agoThe site linked to says nothing about boycott. In fact, it says that TechCrunch's advertisers are "good companies and they're good to their customers". It's just telling people who disapprove of TechCrunch's story to let the advertisers know they would rather they not advertise on TechCrunch.
- nir 17y agoThis whole "good companies and they're good to their customers" is ridiculous. Why are they "good companies"? Because they didn't publish anything about Twitter? Why were these companies selected, anyway? Because the ad server happened to pick their banners when whoever built this browsed TC? Come on, there are much better causes to put your energy behind than some company's internal documents. This is just incredibly pathetic.
