I'm surprised there's no mention of his first 100 days pledge to "announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership" - something that the EFF has been lobbying for. https://www.eff.org/issues&#x2

A comparable project, the Leisure Suit Larry remake, also had a $500,000 cut-off. It ended up raising over $650,000 so it doesn't look far-fetched. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leisuresuitlarry/make-le...

That judgement looks like it's based on a very brief conversation with one of the founders. Carr seems to dislike his attitude more than anything. Hardly a convincing condemnation of what Likealittle are doing.

Because their advertising overpriced? Surely it's easy enough for advertisers to monitor results. Curious why there's this perception.
