    I almost don’t want them to succeed, so the exodus can continue to happen. Then again, I don’t want this place overrun with their overwhelmingly idiot userbase.

      At least in FLOSS communities they are willing to actually implement solutions to fix problems, so there’s hope. Large corps don’t care until it hurts their wallet.

        100% with that. In fact I was listening to the Darknet Diaries (‘highly’ recommend their show/podcast if you’re a techie) episode with Samy Kamkar from back in the day (1, 2), and he echoed the same sentiment. A lot of his exploits he’s tried taking to the vendors only to have them make legal threats against him for his actions. So the next best thing was… you guessed it…, essentially doing a controlled release of it into the wild.
