    The reality is most people just dont care where a service originates from, as long as its good. You wouldn’t think it based on the internet, but most people arent on the internet to make points about things.

      That’s part (the lesser part, but still important) of why I hate when news orgs use an angry dude on twitter as their example of someone who is up in arms about something.

      The Internet is not representative of the population. The people posting are self selected. It’s the same reason if you go looking for coffee advice you’ll find a thousand posts with advice about roasting your own beans while most people are drinking Starbucks, Dunkin, Folgers, and Maxwell House.

      The great majority of people do not give a shit what the Internet is doing. A lot of people look but only a teeny tiny slice are posting about it.
