what is the context of this?

  Turd cookie = Floss (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) project. You're not supposed to complain about anything free and so you don't. Meanwhile there are many turd cookies that could be edible if one would feel more free to complain and Turd-cookie bakers would draw lessons from the complaining, instead of moaning about how "one should not be complaining about free cookies". The Turd-cookie baker could be having a full restaurant if he was not insulted so easily and willing to change his recipe. Still, one should be free to bake Turd-cookies if one wants to. But I agree one should not be whining when someone spits it out and vents a bit of rage after having eaten a Turd-cookie. Also, if the praise from a sentient fly (your audience of 1 happy user) feels good to you, by all means, bask in it.

  Maybe how tech companies behave. Some parts reminded me about Google. How they'll not listen to customers and instead focus on a big fly (management? someone else?) and abandon products. Google+ may be an example! Or broadly, just companies listening to flies (advertisers etc) and service us turd. The whole respect thing also reminds of how internet communities work. This is written close to reddit fiasco, so maybe that! Reddit is listening to advertisers. Or maybe they are listening to bad users who say shitty things but when you discuss something with them, they hide behind all this. I think I am as confused as anyone here. Maybe zed can explain better!
