Today marks a significant moment in our journey, and I am thrilled to share some important news with you. After much thoughtful consideration, I have decid
Would you call any of those successful products ‘good’ tho? Yes they have made a lot of money but at the same time…2 of 3 are straight up evil. Ebay…eh. Could be worse. Thats the best I can say for them. Paypal has straight up stolen people’s money on countless occasions and gotten away with it. Then there was that huge violin fiasco. Airbnb is flat out a part of destroying the housing market, they know this, they don’t care.
I get it, most big companies are ‘menaces’ like you say but…these are absolutely horrible companies responsible for true evil and, odds are, he’s going to bring that energy to Mozilla.
I don’t really disagree, but what do you want as an organization, someone that built a “good” product that nobody ever used and fell into obscurity? Or someone that built a product that attracted and retained millions of users that you might consider “bad”? And tbh, most of the “bad” from these products is just because of their size and monopoly, which would arguably be a good problem to have for Mozilla.
Probably an easy choice if I was on the board.
Also, not that it matters to our discussion but just as a minor correction, the new CEO is a woman.
No, but you are bringing up the merrits of an equally evil company and said thiet success is a sign of why they should be at the helm. I’m just trying to understand this.
Air bnb is not evil, it’s people exchanging services for money. They just resolve disputes, show reviews, etc.
The difference with PayPal is that they are not in any business, so they can’t necessarily resolve disputes other than relating to the payment itself. But the credit card issuer has exactly the same job, so PayPal is an extraneous intermediary
Hard to say. You kind of want someone that was part of a successful product. And successful for-profit products are almost always menaces.

Airbnb actually provides a useful service, unlike PayPal which only extracts fees
Nestle provides a useful service, does that make their literal slave labor acceptable?
Didn’t say that, I’m comparing companies that do nothing useful to companies that do something useful
Would you want Nestle to take over Mozilla then?
Never said that

Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
For what crime?
Large scale real estate without a license. Penalty : death in wood chipper, feet first.
