I'm saying that, as someone who has read his various rants throughout the years on jwz.org, and followed his twitter feed, I can say with a great degree of confidence that a) he didn't post this to HN, and b) he really couldn't give enough of a shit to "viral market" anything.
You're free to form your own opinions, although if you must, I would urge you to avail yourself of the opportunity to read through his website and past writings. I find your continued contention that he is using viral marketing to be rather amusing.
- pbhjpbhj 12y agoI'm not continuing to contend anything about jwz - I never said he posted it to HN, there is no byline on the blog-post. The OP blog-post is definitely mock indignation, it's not there to accomplish anything but notability through complaint against a corporation (Facebook) against whom it is trendy to complain vehemently. This is known as a "viral marketing technique" because, as has been seen, the intention is that the complaint should acquire attention and in doing so will shed light on the complainers business interests. jwz may not have intended it but the blog post is operating in that capacity.
