Yeah true, CAT is still watching. Good job in THAT thread, I keep debating about whether to post a long ass post in there but I feel it would fall on deaf ears |
I feel like the pro and cons actually argue on different things.
I keep (as others do, you included) speaking about the ins and outs of this transaction specifically but keep getting replies about a generalization of large-scale buyouts, and big-tech as cons.
I've seen little, and that's a politically correct way to say none, well though cons argument or even a well though contradiction of a pro argument.
It's been like that since the beginning of course but in that thread, there's a particular emphasis on avoiding the details with the cons position now. It's like we're supposed to keep pretending we don't know anything of that transaction specifically and so should rely on over-generalization and gut feelings more akin to a political take than critically thinking things through. Maybe after a year, they found out the cons argument is nothing but weak in this case so purposefully avoid them and that's why they are relying on generalization.
At the very least, and surprisingly so, the conversation level is not degrading and flaming attempts are mostly left ignored so it's still kind of nice to engage.
