Most of the critiques of Rob's take in here equate to: Rob rolled through a stop sign once, therefore he's not allowed to take fault with habitual drunk drivers.

Idk for me the only issue I have with Rob’s take is that its a pretty overly dramatic one that oversimplifies and casts as black and white something much more complex. Obviously a very real living legend, much respect, and getting one of these emails is icky and distasteful but to make this into what he does is a bit much

He created stuff while getting a lot of money for it.

Now he complains about it? Its just ignorant.

And he has apparently 10 millions and "the couple live both in the US and Australia.". So guess how often he flies around the globe. Guess how much real estate he occupies?

He isn't part of the solution, he is part of the problem.

Contextually, this feels more like Rob running stop signs five times a week and then crashing out when someone finally brake-checks him.

Working for the web’s leading mass surveillance advertising enshittifier is not “roll[ing] through a stop sign”.
