Comment on Mozilla announces their new AI website builder, community reacts appropriately
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 11 months agoPutting random words in bold doesn’t mean you have a point.
Yeah they receive money for having a default search engine. In the past it was Yahoo and now it’s Google. I don’t see what your point is? What does it have to do with this article?
From the article:
Our survey data shows…
That probably sounded very clever in your head. You probably thought you “owned” me or something.
But I never said surveys were bad. I said surveys of a tiny percentage of Firefox users, which in themselves are a tiny percentage of browser users, is useless. There’s nothing wrong with them commissioning wider surveys.
Do you think following what, say, a 20,000th of what users say they want is a winning strategy? To just continue what they’re doing now?
Mozilla needs to diversify. Because They’re dying. They’d already be dead if they followed what you seem to be suggesting (focus on the browser but also don’t accept money from Google!)

More bold text. I assure you that this text is very bold. Bold text.
CEO makes big pay cheque, quelle surprise. I’m shocked. Shocked I tell ya!
It’s standard. Do I think CEOs should be paid millions? Nah. But I’m not going to single out one tech CEO making $7m when there’s others out there making $250m
Again, Mozilla is a dying company. I’m not “presenting” it as anything. I’m staying a fact. I’m not making it up.
We get it, you want Firefox to have no funding and die. I don’t. I don’t want a full Google monopoly.

I didn’t gloss over it as acceptable, I said it’s standard and if anything low for the industry. It’s weird to single them out and shit on them. Not to mention completely irrelevant to this discussion.
No, you don’t want Mozilla to thrive, because you’re getting angry at them for wanting to diversify, which they need to do if they don’t want to die.
You want them to abandon their income. Guess what? Without that they’re dead. So what’s your solution?
This isn’t some fantasy land where the magic fairies can work on Firefox out of the goodness of their hearts while we all frolic in flowery fields. Firefox needs to pay their staff and you’re saying they need to cut off all funding and stop trying to find alternative revenue streams.

No shit. Everybody knows why Google funds Mozilla.
Mozilla is dying. I’m not saying it for no reason.
Your “just don’t take money from Google and don’t diversify” suggestion isn’t a good one. They would collapse almost immediately if they followed that advice.
