On: Ask HN: Glassdoor is unbelievably bad, why no one ...

mostly created to make fun of the stupid dotcoms

It did start that way but they had forums where we could talk about all the shenanigans going on without being censored. AFAIK this is not really the same on GlassDoor as they censor comments or at least I've seen multiple people stating their posts were censored.

Perfect username to reply to this btw

Yeah, sure there were forums and back Pud certainly did not censor anybody.

But it was not really a business, that's what I meant. It was done for fun, and so that Pud could make a name for himself.

And later write a book!

My username: thanks. I was a great fan of Pud.

I even wrote the Italian 'version' of F'd Companies https://www.dotcoma.it/book

That totally makes sense. Being just a forum and just for fun is less of a legal target I think, at least back then. That's cool you wrote a book about it, I had no idea.

Nowadays probably the only way to do this without censorship or taking bribes to promote or censor would be on a .onion site I think and it would probably get DDoS'd into oblivion.
