On: The drawbridges come up: the dream of a interconnected context ecosystem is over

In general there are more users than implementers, so their experience is more relevant to whether it's an overall net positive.

More relevant than the people who make the decisions… according to who? Is there some arbiter that can overrule the decision makers?

If so… then we should discuss those instead.

[__MatrixMan__ → MichaelZuo]

No just the opposite, each person gets to decide whether something is good or bad, and when we sum across those perspectives we end up with a net positive or negative.

Going against that grain might be advantageous in certain cases but ultimately you have to live in the world that you create so its usually not a great long term strategy.

This doesn’t even make sense… unless you think all opinions out there carry roughly the same weight?

[__MatrixMan__ → MichaelZuo]

Did you mean something else by "overall"? Over... shareholders perhaps?

[MichaelZuo → __MatrixMan__]

No… I meant overall.

But since the opinions of people aren’t anywhere near the same value… comparing it your way is nonsensical.
