I met the guy probably in 2010-2012 at some social event where he was trying to recruit people. What I remember of him is that he said: "I used to do car racing. I run our company as a race team." Whatever it means...
At that time Banjo was a social network that let you see where other people were. It was the time when privacy was dead.
I think they may have pivot into news and then I lost track... Until today.
When you raise so much money there is a lot of pressure to return it with the interests. I do not know enough about what the company does now but it seems there may be something off.
But this is not about the company.
This is a vile attack to a
person that seems to have reach some kind of success.
Some of us can see his past just as a data point but it is obviously different for the general public.
I heard somebody says that in these days the standards are too high. Somebody should have never made a mistake and if he did, he has that mistake on his head for the rest of their days. The Internet does not forget anything.
There is a lot of polarization and hunt for something or somebody to blame and complains about. The press and social medias play an important part in this positive feedback loop of negative comments.
But this is not new. Witch hunting has existed for a long time.
The world does not need more of that. It needs more compassion.
I believe people can change and I believe in forgiving those that try their best to become better human beings.
