Haters gonna hate and I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Because you opted in to creating those profiles and the information they contain, and made them public. You opted in.
I’ve always found Triplebyte open and insightful and their response shows they’re receptive to feedback, which is a rare thing these days. People should be respecting that instead of crucifying one of the only companies that actually listens to them. No company is perfect all the time.
The CEO's whole attitude towards privacy shows how they treat privacy, and no, I'm not going to "respect" that.
The analogy with dating services that people were bringing up earlier was a good one. Sure, some people are in open relationships, which is fine, but if Tinder were to assume that everybody was OK with having that aspect of their personal life exposed in public, it would be a massive problem.
Even in the midst of a shitstorm where the CEO/Founder is publicly admitting to a complete lack of insight?
I'm only commenting now to cancel out your anecdote.
(And FWIW, I would have done nothing had it been opt-in. I would have been happy to leave my information private and strategically take it public when it suited me. The email, and Ammon's behavior in the original thread gave me little confidence that was an option, so I nuked my data.)
1) really pissed off about it
AND
2) compassionate enough to tell him why
The easier course of action, which I chose, was to quietly say "fuck you" and delete my profile. Ammon is getting a lot of valuable feedback right now. Yes, hatemail is valuable feedback. Because for every hatemail you get, there are ten users like me that will just bounce without a peep.
