Every thread critical of tech now has cynical anti-media comments upvoted near the top, completely ignoring the substance of the article. Is that how afraid we have become of legitimate criticism?

#4Googlers haven’t realised yet that they have different leadership now. The open culture of discussing and opposing things that Google does is slowly degrading.

#5Google works like crazy to hire all of the smartest and the best people, but do they really need them? Billions and billions in shareholder value could be extracted by hiring a bunch of mid-tier Java programmers and having them farm Ad Words for the next decade, until the first competition shows up.

#6Good.
People like her have created a toxic work environment fostering an ideological monoculture, which led her employer to being investigated federally for discrimination and political interference.
People like that should be fired.

#7Google is going to shoot itself in the foot over the long term with the type of decisions it has been making lately both against its users and against its employees.
I imagine that since the protests started they've already begun filtering out the people with a higher level of ethics in their interviews - but the new class of people they hire are not going to give them the same results in the long-term, especially if they are no the type of employees to question the addition or removal of a feature, etc, but just do as they are told. Google's current leaders are slowly but surely killing Google's spirit.

You think this wasn’t reported elsewhere?

Not even cynical, conspiratorial. Something's going around between a certain type of tech worker where all coverage of tech issues is framed as a conspiracy of old media against new media (as if new media doesn't own massive pieces of old media.)
I think it's to deal with the cognitive dissonance of working on things that are thought of by the majority of the public as bad, but without actually having to confront the specifics.

Many great people are hired not necessarily to move Google forward, but so that they don’t move a Google-competitor forward.
