Sure thing Thad, I should have poasted a more thoughtful analysis in response to "Concern troll is concerned". After all your hard work on good posting you deserve better, poor fella. Please accept my sympathies.
The title. When I want to share TD perspectives its not with people who are on the same page or in the same echo chamber, its in debate or evangelism of (usually) the same stuff that they're putting here, but hoping their words can assist.
They can title their shit however they want, it's their site. It's just more likely to sway hearts and minds THAT ARE NOT ALREADY CONVINCED if they can look at the article prior to getting the feeling that the article is an attack on their beliefs. Sarcastic retorts are awesome for sharing with people who already agree, not so much for those who are on the fence.
Sorry to have hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intent, I'm just glad you leapt to Mike's defense. I'd hoped that spending most of that paragraph spelling out that 90% of the time I'm a fan would have precluded the "If you don't like it you can GEEEEET OUUUUUT" hurf blurf but hey at least you got to type a thing and show the owners of the site that you are on their side and that constructive criticism is NOT OK as far as you're concerned.
Hi I love your work normally but when you title this stuff like this it makes it worthless for sharing to people who do not already hold your perspective, and when they see this article in a list with others on a search it hits your credibility (with any on the fence about such perspectives) pretty hard.
Yes, I agree. Yes, I think you deserve a chance to vent. It just is right up there with calling the ignorant ignorant when it comes to swaying others. Your free speech perspectives can often be an easy sell to otherwise shitty people and they're where I like to start when it comes to opening minds about copyrights and free speech. Just keep all audiences in mind when you right your stuff I guess if you want them to read it deeply and pay attention. Or, write for the echo chamber, the nice thing about having a site is you can only hear mostly the perspectives you want to hear if you curate it right. I'll continue to mostly post nice stuff (OK honestly I don't remember what I post here usually but great fan love your stuff blah blah)
Yeah I think on this one you're being a little knee-jerk. Premium ad-skipping isn't a bad idea at all in my opinion, and as far as strategies it's non-insulting in my humble opinion, me being one of those guys who uses workarounds to avoid commercial-watching. I usually like to support alternate venues for watching ad-free as that way I'm providing carrot, rather than stick, for those who play nice and provide the desired ad-free avenues. They're not trying to punish, they're providing exactly what a pirate-with-good-intentions would like to see.
Good on AMC! This is a model we should either be rewarding, or at least not castigating as a drive-by for other political purposes.
Re: On this WHINING, headline should be "Emotional Toll Of DEFAMATION". But not a hint that Ayyadurai has feelings too: to Ma snick, it's all about HIM.
I like (and often agree with) the tone of your articles, but I agree with Antikaon in that you won't be convincing anybody not already on your side with that kind of rhetoric. If your intent is to preach to the choir, I'm happy to hear you preach and I agree. If you want to alter opinions that don't agree with yours, showing care with how you frame it would certainly be more effective in that regard.
I'd go so far as to say that similar rhetoric is the reason we keep getting GWBs and Trumps infesting the white house. I'm fairly convinced that a lot of the reason we get people voting in that direction is just to spite all the people calling them stupid for voting for Trumps and Gee-Dubs. "What, you think that's stupid? I'll show YOU!"
If you're a politician then the Olympics are the payoff of a lifetime, so many new expensive projects being bid to dip your beak into. It may be a loss for the local venue, but that local venue's mayor (and everyone else in a position to hold up construction projects) will be in for quite a windfall unless they hold to ethics/scruples/whatever. Every place that does a bid for the Olympics is basically announcing that their political staff is for sale.
I think the guess at reputation management company is correct. In fact, I wonder if he hired a certain reputation management bro whose marketing strategy would likely appeal very heavily to him :V
What a silly thing to say. Because I used the term "hacking" in its more well-known form, instead of the BoingBoing usage (it's about being a ~Maker~) you accuse me of maybe-trolling, but you'll "give me the benefit of the doubt". Thanks for doing me that honour! I only hope I can live up to your standards for poasting in the future :rolleyes:
