Just an FYI that made me mad...

www.theverge.com posted a crappy article on February 10th strongly implying Kodi is just a vehicle for piracy. It irritated me enough that I left a post defending Kodi's devs and their strong stance against piracy. If anyone else would care to chime in on this worthless online rag, the url is http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/10/145741...ew-comment

Click Bait.

It is, and it worked... but it still made me mad. The Verge used to be held to higher editorial standards.

Well that's infuriating.

The Verge, unlike actual newspapers, provides no way of contacting people. So I sent a small tweet storm to the author. No idea if he'll reply.

Hey, it worked.

Excellent. Maybe he will grow up and realize posting fallacious, irresponsible click bait is childish and harmful... but probably not.

He tells me he's personally used Kodi since the Xbox days and made the mistake of assuming his readers would know as much about the history as he did. If you aren't constantly inside this world, it's probably not an unreasonable assumption, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Lol maybe he could also get Trump on board with that one.

Hahaha Trump was probably his role model.
