    Yeah, that shallow appreciation is why you can’t truly understand them, it’s like calling a shark evil when it eats a baby seal.

    They are, but you need to understand the system so you can know how they get where they get, and how to counter them.

    Don’t just be an angry mother seal.

      Why are you here? You’re more cringe than Nintendo right now. There’s absolutely no reason to insult that guy.

        Because I’ve worked with the marketing assholes who lead to these decisions, and if you don’t get why they make them and how to get them fired for those decisions, you’ll never change anything.

        That’s the difference between being a child, and being effective.

          Ooohhh, you’re trauma dumping. Well carry on then. Tell us about the good corps who are just getting ruined by evil marketing assholes.

            They’re not, Jesus, what is wrong with you?

            They’re greedy and ambitious, but also cowardly.

            Saying ‘Nintendo’ doesn’t hurt much, the corporation is almost numb to criticism, it knows it will sell games.

            Find the marketing moron responsible and destroy his career, that’s the only way you make a difference.

            Do this enough times, and eventually they become more afraid of the community’s wrath than their ambition to get a promotion by kissing ass.

            Take down a few VPS of marketing, you’re can start influencing them, because they’ll start community outreach before doing shit.

            Corporations are a hard outer shell to protect the sensitive inner meat, don’t attack the shell, take down the inner bits.

              The people change, but the streets are always the same.

                The fear is what matters.

                These careers are everything to them, they will gladly fuck whoever they need to to survive, but if you make them more afraid of the community then they’ll actually try to listen.

                There was a brief period back in the late 2000s/early 2010s when Google listened to people.

                That died by the time I joined, but I worked with people from before and they clearly didn’t give a shit about the customers anymore, it was all internal politics for promotions, you’d never get in trouble for pissing off customers.

                Make them afraid of you, make them fear doing anything to piss you off, otherwise they’ll sell you out for their bosses and shareholders every time.

                  Remind them how expensive windows are.
