Sure, just ignore the context I provided and substitute it for your own, doesn’t change they were the market maker and the primary development platform for web with IE, I know this because I’ve probably been a developer longer than you’ve been alive, and had to create work arounds for compatability with netscape for those 8 years I mentioned.

What do you mean the competitors didn’t have market share, in '98 netscape was 41.5% of all browsers to IE’s 48.3%. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Your idealistic hard on with Microsoft’ s tactics doesn’t change the reality that they became market leader, or that they were the ones using that influence to drive standards. Saying the standards weren’t known is also bullshit because we were developing on those standards. So yes, Microsoft was market leader and Microsoft was calling the shots for website development standards, because they had market share whether you like how they got there or not, it doesn’t change this objective fact.

Funny how you want to engage in part of a conversation and then instead of wanting to hear a rebuttal you just want me to go away so you can think happy ignorant thoughts. Why did you bother responding?

Cathartic rage would be my guess, Spez wants to sell the house so they’re happy to help smash the windows, paint the walls, and swear at the prospective buyers.

Yes, everything you said is correct, ipso facto Microsoft won and was setting the standards at the time.

The competitors still had significant market share and thus their obstinance to follow the leader lead to a large portion of users that had to be catered to by web developers for compatibility due to corporate requirements for access to these market shares.

Thus because these competitors weren’t the key demographic, in the context of a developer, they were an additional burden due to the severe lack of uniform standards between major platforms.

So you’re one of those complaining about people being on Reddit and simultaneously complaining that those that are aren’t being on Reddit the right way. OK.

People say this like potential shareholders will just ignore the massive Fuck Spez banner and bad reddit news that’s been all over traditional media.

I’ve seen this same sentiment dozens of times, so why did none of you do it?

Ahh the old Nutscrape Aggrivator. Refused to update with Microsoft standards and spent the next 8 years being a pain in the ass for website compatibility.

Worked great for threads, how much has their engagement dropped since they activated everyone’s Instagram account for it? 75%?

Wrong way around, the shitty changes rationalise the graffiti. Or are you oblivious to something called time, it creates this thing called a sequence of events. But you knew that because you’re disingenuous, not stupid, right?

Never met an Aussie that can’t say expletives in an endearing way.

Of course it’s not, if it was he wouldn’t be following the steps of daddy Elon. It’s just two like-minded tech-bros who want to turn other people’s unpaid contributions into profit for themselves.

It’s called trust but verify. Without proof you’re just talking shit and wasting everyone’s time and effort. But you know that because you’re disingenuous, not stupid, right?

Please, the Speztic has been fighting to cram his rectum docking nose deeper into the Elongated Muskrat’s anus every chance he’s gotten. He’s the epitome of every single one of Elon’s cucked, arse barnacle followers, the only difference is he also had a world class platform to burn to the ground in retarded mimicry of his waste of a good wankstain idol.

Beans are a solution, never a problem.

They literally bought out one of the best apps, brought it in house, and actively made it the worst app. It’s almost amazing how consistent reddit’s management failures have been.

Scuff is relatable.

Which is why you switch the project team after 90% so you can get to 99% completion in 50% of the time. Now that’s thinking like a Project Manager.
