This concept doesn't pass much intellectual muster and does a disservice to your readers / users. Do you really believe that thoughtful satire cannot produce intelligent conversation?

The piece linked to here is my annotation on a very real post by Michael Moritz. Yes, my take is... a form of satire.

Dude I literally own it. We love the way our site looks. We made it this way with a lot of thought and care. It's not for everyone, however.

We think they look cool? Also it's strange but some people LOVE them and some people HATE them.

Did you actually just say it wouldn't fit on a floppy disk?

The article isn't about aesthetic choices. If you don't like the way The Outline looks, that's your opinion, but we made it that way ON PURPOSE. The article is about forced compromises because of bad B2B decisions made a long time ago about what user value is.

It's useful to be able to separate those things out. You can appreciate the article and still be mad at our site because it doesn't look like what you expect.
