Being honest doesn’t garner press coverage. Ever hear of troubles at Twilio, PagerDuty, etc? I have not (disclaimer: no investment in either, happy customer of both).


Why would you need to disclaim that you are not an investor?


Transparency and disclosure of any bias is important.


Is it, I think saving disclaimers for when they actually matter is more important. If everyone included disclaimers listing their inconsequential relations to companies they would quickly be ignored as noise(which they would be).


He’s disclaiming that he’s a costumer, and noting that he’s not an investor.
