    Imagine being excited about publicly announcing the deletion of a critical feature. Have you even seen such a brazen and naked attempt at control from a CEO or corporation? Seriously, name one. Name one company that has done this sort of thing.

    Any other company that would even attempt to remove a critical feature like that would try to sugarcoat it with an apology letter about how it was a tough decision, or have a bulleted list of reasons why they were forced to remove the feature.

    No, not this guy. Just a blind, unfiltered matter-of-fact tweet. No explanation. No apologies. No signs of any remorse.

    Name. One. Company. Who. Has. Done. This.

      The apology letter is a bug, not a feature. I want more companies to just openly and unapologetically say, “this is what we’re doing, and not everyone is going to like it, but it’s what we believe is the right thing, and we’re doing it.” No one needs more bullshit in their lives. I don’t mind that he isn’t giving me a bullshit apology. I mind that he’s a lunatic and his ideas are stupid.

        There’s a stark difference between standing up for your decision with detailed justifications and making random crazy changes promoted with a single tweet.
