Negative hype can kill a product that could have been good.
Positive false hype can deceive people into wasting money.
Sure, complete honesty would be ideal, but if you say “well it sucks right now but we promise it will be ok when you buy it”, not many people would rush to order one.
And they shouldn’t. It’s just another way of saying “people acting rationally based on truthful information”
Many good products never made it to market because of insufficiently good perception.
That should be a separate issue. It’s not the only available path, just one often taken because it’s the most forgiving of shoddy business practices, doesn’t justify its existence, either.
On the flip side, creating positive hype out of smoke and mirrors can be used to kill a competitor’s product for no good reason, so it’s not quite ok either.
I think people are starting to realize the depth of corporate deception and bad-faith practices and how that affects everyone at large, and so they’re rightly tired of them and trying to reset it all back to simple, effective, and fair ethical standards.

Apple: Ass
Engineers: overworked
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.

whines about reductionist rhetoric, uses insanely reductionist example

can’t get over how fucked up his hand is
2wd conversion + chop off that center hump + new seats + lots of time, nvm
It’s not being engineered from the ground-up; these are all common modifications in the car guy world. The only semi-complex part will be getting the suspension custom-valved if there’s not something already available on the market for daily driving, and even that is fairly doable.
Adapting comfortable seats is a straightforward process; adding noise dampening and carpet is a straightforward process (good noise dampening material can turn almost any rattle box into something really close to if not equal to a Lexus in terms of noise). Exhausts are not voodoo, resonators and mufflers are available for virtually any conceivable application… etc
What I would wish them good luck with is not running out of steam to get it to where they want it.
That’s what our impulses tell us to do, but you’re not obligated to listen to every impulse. The complexity of life as we experience it affords us the luxury of choice.
Yeah, without a disclaimer and evidence it’s modeled correctly it’s just straight misinformation at this point.
I hope they get pulled from the road. Problem is, he’ll just bribe some government officials
