some kind of corporate sponsor showing up and then a lot of people having to pretend they like sugar water instead of real water. shouldn't the product speak for itself? people don't pretend to like apple products. people don't pretend to be into belgian beer. just work on your product. paying people to pretend they like stuff is self defeting. | some kind of corporate sponsor showing up and then a lot of people having to pretend they like sugar water instead of real water. shouldn't the product speak for itself? people don't pretend to like apple products. people don't pretend to be into belgian beer. just work on your product. paying people to pretend they like stuff is self defeting. |
