       | > "and always remember if they can give it, they can also take

       | time not coming at this from a devils advocate approach,
       | especially since the guy seems very business-oriented and should
       | have realized that something needed to change. It's hard to
       | sympathize with someone that built a business off of abusing
       | someone elses content feed, and then pointing their finger at
       | Facebook when the paradigm shifts away from that content. I don't
       | think Facebook is necessarily right in this case, but the writing
       | was on the wall, and if they didn't chase the current trends then
       | they wouldn't be able to enjoy the same level of success they had
       | harnessed before
       | 
       | Sure, agree on all points ... yet remember it's all triggered
       | because Zuckerfu wants people to stop "feeling good" and instead
       | "take him and $FB _seriously_ ".
       | 
       | Kind of disgusting.
