I downvoted you, but not for the reason you think. I feel like you made some very good points re: AWS and Amazon's propaganda. However, the digs at Google and Microsoft serve to dilute and undermine your point. If took those (IMHO unnecessary) digressions out and focused more on Amazon and AWS, your comments would be much more constructive and relevant.
- MCRed 12y agoThose weren't unnecessary digs at Google and Microsoft. They were illustrations to show how this technique works. Believe it or not, I was trying got make it clear that I'm not just an Amazon basher, but that I'm recognizing the broader use of it. What I'm taking from your comment, is that your down vote comes from being offended that I said something negative about something negative being done by a company you care about. I upvoted your comment, by the way, even though I think it's wrong, because it was constructive, and illuminated your thinking to me, and I appreciate that. My point was pretty well argued in my comment, and thus, even if you disagree with it, I don't deserve a down vote. The "down votes because I disagree" is literally saying "I want to silence those I disagree with, rather than go thru the effort of rebutting them". Literally on this site as you go negative, you go to lighter shades of grey, and eventually disappear. Voting was great for dealing with spam, but alas, it's become enforcement of the ideological filter bubble.
