> I treat companies like I treat people
I would say this is a really bad strategy. According to unwritten HN rules, I should now start explaining why I think there are differences between a company and a person, and why they should be treated differently thereof.
But I won't. :)
- bad_user 12y agoWhy? Do you disagree with the concept of voting with your wallet? How else can you get companies to listen to your needs? And my needs as a developer and a user are simple - I need my privacy, an open web and a healthy open-source ecosystem. And I'll vote with my wallet and I'll bitch against any company that has a problem with that - and I'll also encourage alternatives that cater to my needs. The world would be a much better place if all people behaved like this IMHO - oh, so are the shareholders a company's top priority? Not my problem.
- Retra 12y ago> Do you disagree with the concept of voting with your wallet? That concept is fantastically distopian. The concept "voting with your wallet" is practically abject propaganda. We have a word for this already and it's not "voting:" it's "purchasing" or "bribery." >How else can you get companies to listen to your needs? With words. The very thing you are using right here.
