Would you think it's fair to say that the atmosphere here on Gearslutz, the guy who "lauds" [sic] over it (Jules), and the people attracted to the site that usually comment are all biased against, say, Google, Apple, or the amorphous "tech industry"?
If not, why not?
Here's one very recent example I recall clearly from an exchange I had with you. I could find countless more quotes of "tech" bashing with biased and inaccurate assumptions and conclusions.

I know you'll include Google, of course -- which is highly debatable itself -- but what other corporations of similarly large scale would you name? | Google of course.... then.....
Apple.
The most profitable, influential company in America. Highly powerful around the globe.
You really need me to tell you this? |
If Techdirt "hates musicians," then does Gearslutz "hate tech?" No, I don't think either accusation is true; this is a dumb troll topic designed to stir up arguments.
Edit: I want to add that the actual story in the topic article is an interesting one and worth discussing, but the framing of the original post in this thread as focusing on the linked comments is detestable.
