- you are also a part of the problem are you not?

- you are writing a post on your blog and sharing it on HN?

- what is your objective? traffic? email? newsletter signups? eventually sell some course to them?

- it is always easy to point fingers at someone with a bigger budget

The horror that an individual dares to have an opinion as opposed to corporations or councils.

corporations are made up of individuals

The “individuals”, though, are reduced to performing a business function within the corporation.

The writings of an individual human and the writings of an advertising/propaganda machine come from different places and achieve different results.

Did you literally never stop to think about that, or are you deliberately shaming individual thought in a bad faith manner?

- i am just pointing out the hypocrisy

- people cry corporations bad all day but what is a corporation?

- it is made up of individuals

- funny nobody ever takes individual responsibility for anything but wants corporate responsibility

Your argument rests on the fallacious implication that Corporations behave as people do and therefore should be held to the same standards. In reality, corporate behavior is driven the aggregate of the greed of the individuals who comprise its executive suite, not their rationality or morality. It makes sense to critique corporations, BECAUSE they tend toward the self-serving even if it is destructive to the world. Whereas an individual is inherently less destructive, by virtue of not being a) VC backed b) legally obligated to create profit and growth for shareholders c) they have a conscience

Your reply really indicates that you are either completely unaware of all of these incredibly obvious facts, or you are trolling.
