One is to prevent the whole herd from being infected(eradicated possibly), the other is a sick member to choose their way to treat themselves. Grievance is a part of life, it is sad to see members go, but I can't compare between that and the herd disappearing completely(no one left to grief).
EDIT: also I can't help but feel that this claim puts Chemotherapy on the same level of effectiveness as Vaccines. I think all options should be exhausted before we start claiming chemo to be as miraculous as vaccines are.
You’re saying that like most companies and VCs are not ambiguous soulless organizations. You can’t succeed on good vibes and prayers, there isn’t a god nor souls.
Why should an organization support something they own when most people abandoned a platform and had years to archive and move elsewhere?
Content is a garden, you plant a seed. If the land is barren why would you not move your seeds and seedlings elsewhere?
People didn't "abandon" the platform, it was still alive and useful to many.
This business-based attitude of maximization and complete disregard for the long tail is exactly the reason business interests are killing the internet as we know/knew it.
A garden left fallow still hosts an abundance of life
> there isn’t a god nor souls.
You don't know that, you only believe it. Just like the other believers. Plus, soulless is an adjective, not a statement of fact.
There is very little reason for Yahoo not to be good stewards here. It's the difference between sportsmanship and cravenness.

Organizations exist in a wider community and have multiple vested interests in its general health—the need for spending customers, need to attract talent, the need for stability and (in some cases like this one) culture to draw eyes. Negotiating these is much easier if they don’t act oblivious to the needs of their communities—and in this case, communities that they built. The massive value that they are no longer interested in maintaining because they can’t/won’t monetize any further (ok, fine) when compared to the tiny level of investment for letting the data continue to have value elsewhere is pathetically shortsighted, if not intentional.
Granted days at yahoo may indeed be so dire that this is the kind of quality you get out of a slowly liquidating company.
> Personally, I know at least a few people who do not have a Facebook account at all, but they do have a LinkedIn, because that’s where the jobs are.
I’m one of those. I’m on linked in because that’s where I can connect with others in my industry. I don’t care what they do for vacation or their political views but I am interested in their take on issues we’re mutually encountering.
I’m also not looking for work for me but I’m on the lookout for talented folks and former members of my team. If they need a role or if something sounds like them, I can link them up
I think a lot of the rip is from Wordpress generally being insecure. You can have it locally and treat it like Jekyll and have your json sent to git and published to something like Netify.

That too - I put adware on my wp-admin pages in the same boat.
I've seen the JSON publishing route and I'm not 100% impressed with how it operates. In most WP situations you want to give people who are non-devs the capability to manage content which local setups like this don't accommodate well.
