> impactful against the users dude, what? People committed suicide the last time this shit happened. Maybe redirect your outrage at the company's executives?

  > I’m explaining marketing 101 because a lot of hackers fail at it You're jawboning and being edgy on the internet, let's not pretend it's for our benefit.

    I'd actually like to see this as an improvement to a big dump, and this is the first space I've seen where this discussion is applicable. Nothing I said was inaccurate, the 2015 breach was dissected and was followed by more signups by women filling in the gap. I think there is something wrong with the consensus from you all.

      What your missing is that to an outsider reading your posts, you're transparently indulging in edgy fantasies, and what you're proposing is actually a strategy to hurt people more effectively. So we tell you that what you're advocating for is gross. You seem to have taken that as a sign we aren't smart enough to understand your point. That's not the right takeaway. If you think the accuracy of your statements is relevant to people's criticisms, you haven't understood them. If you think you have a good point that we haven't given full credence to, it's not our fault as an audience that you presented your ideas poorly. Good luck.

        the big dumps are going to happen my general mantra is focus on what you can control

> People committed suicide the last time this shit happened. It sucks, but you can't save people from themselves. Case in point: I periodically fish for people browsing Ashley Madison at work. They go onto a watchlist as candidates for blackmail (I'm moved to tears by how many of them have clearances). The presumption is that if you're doing this on a work device, you're hiding something from your spouse (which can be exploited). The Chinese play the sextortion game; I assume their interest in Grindr was related.
