I have a genuine question:

How does arguing in support of arguably bad business practices in general benefit you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

What are the “arguably bad business practices” here? I would argue that Epic pissing off the manufacturer of the most popular phones in the world, which have over 90% of all in-app purchase $$$$ spent in the mobile world, is bad business practice - not even arguably.

As for anything “benefiting me”……am I not allowed an opinion or to express it unless it’s echo chamber aligned? Is it only allowed if it ignores all logic and is just mindless anger against [insert big corporation name here]?

I’m giving context to the situation.
