Save yourself a fortune and don’t, whatever you do, bet against anything here being untrue.
Social media is absolutely the worst place to seek assistance with a product.
Compare it to a software company’s own web-hosted user community forums. Here, a user will write a post inviting suggestions to assist with a problem whereupon fellow users try to oblige. But the same software company’s user support groups on social media tend to attract dramatic types.
These are not people seeking help with a software problem. They want to tell you how unhappy they are with the software.
Hmmm.? There are SMARTR Alternative Root Suppliers who would reply …….
Social media is absolutely the worst place to seek assistance with a product.
Compare it to The Register, Biting the hand that feeds IT and Situation Publishing’s own web-hosted user community forums. Here, a user will write a post inviting suggestions to assist with a problem whereupon fellow users try to oblige. But similar independent news and views for the tech community company’s user support groups on social media will tend to attract all manner of dramatic types.
These are not people seeking help with a software problem or to help with an abiding firmware problem. They want to tell you how unhappy they are with the software and the free licentious sharing of such as may easily be impeccably disruptive wares.
And there is a prime example of use of the facility and utility posted here on El Reg today nearly a full three hours before Dabbsy’s contribution to the debate and emerging events ….. with a post inviting peer review and assistance with a Multi-Trillion Dollar Question being tabled and date stamped Fri 12 Aug 2022 // 07:28 UTC
How very coincidental is that. Quite spooky in a stranger things sort of way:-)
And thinking further on the earlier final questions posed there enquiring about the whom and/or the what you would most likely have a bet on having that sort of long-term hypervision and dedicated wherewithall to guarantee at least all of that with life-changing universal deliveries, …. in days of not so long ago yore one would have fully expected it and supported it whenever a royal or imperial prerogative ably exercised and wisely administered.
Are such things greatly changed today? Who then follows whom and for what should ever that not now be the case?
Are there new kids on the block and in the hood doing such things for the greater good?
