Well uh, he emailed every customer about it. He also emailed every customer about his previous Medium article, about a different controversy, earlier this year (I hadn't known about it until seeing the email).

He really comes across as a sociopath. And I don't mean that as an insult. I don't see any other good explanation for how he can fail, over and over, to foresee that his clearly unempathetic responses will be received poorly.

How do you define "fake"? Review bombing is generally real people with real opinions. It takes advantage of the fact that a) it's mostly impossible to verify someone has read a book, and b) most people don't read, and c)

The kuleana rights backlash was pretty silly to anyone who understand how land works in Hawaii and isn't trying to take a bad faith swipe at Zuck. It's a standard practice when buying land and building property. Hawaii is an unusu

I'm so skeptical of the "he mischaracterized others' views on Helen Toner" narrative, devoid of details. There are lots of decisions where consensus has to be forged by getting skeptical people onboard. If I had to guess

Think of all the mundane technology we use every single day that was, when it was first introduced, priced for the rich and powerful. And then imagine if we'd used that as a reason not to produce it.

>They should not offer free stuff in the first place to be fair. Plenty of people are perfectly content with the model of free ad-supported services. Who are you to step between them and those services and say no?
