Pet peeve of mine: nothing about this is “ironic.”

If the author really wants an adverb, I’d probably go with “unsurprisingly.”

I wouldn’t group doordash in with the others.

They barely provide a service; leach off of restaurants, forcing them to raise their prices to maintain razor thin margins; and lobby for shitty legislation to not pay or give people benefits.

I agree with the general point, though.

Damn this thread is negative as hell.

I’m one of the most cynical, pessimistic people I know, but not in here.

Kinda wish people’s first reaction were “good,” not “yeah right, remember Bell in the 80’s?”

Maybe I’m naive, but this seems like good news to me. Even if it doesn’t actually result in Amazon being broken up, at least it indicates someone is doing something.

“Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress” or something like that.

They moderate rigorously.

Participating in one of their threads is like attending a university course.

Most people don’t have the context to actually participate in the discussions, but the quality is on a completely different level.

I’m not defending this practice (it’s gross), but people and critics almost universally love many people and critics who actually own/drive Teslas love them.

So, you’re kind of mischaracterizing them as “worse than other cars.”

edit: it’s unsurprising that this comment is downvoted in a thread hellbent on shitting on Tesla. I don’t know what I expected.
