It felt like they'd been some sort of tipping point reached and people were just furious with Google for being so opaque.
I've never seen people be so antagonistic with him.
Then again the w/e HN crowd seems to be pretty vicious compared to the week one. (and I honestly feel less intelligent).
- pja 12y agoWow: That really was a pile on wasn't it? Looks like mcutts is catching some of the backdraft from Google's infamous lack of customer service (to paying advertisers, content providers and everyone else) here to a certain extent.
- gress 12y agoWell Matt is a relentless explainer of Google's position. That earns him a lot of credibility and support when the position makes sense, but if what they are doing ultimately is considered harmful, then he's going to look like an apologist.
- rhizome 12y agomcutts is pretty much the only thing resembling customer service for google search, so he's going to catch all of it. while mcutts has put himself into this position willingly, it's google's fault for making him a solitary target.
