Am I the only one who thinks this whole sharing business has gone a bit too far? Honestly, how many people would say that finding content is one of their biggest problems today? It's easy to think all you need is more optimized/better conte

This is going to make me look like a pg fanboy: I don't see where he outright dismisses other people's opinions. In fact, he's repeatedly said to people who disagree with him to "point to a sentence which you think is false". You will have
